Roles & Responsibilities

The Role

We are looking for a seasoned and forward-thinking Embedded Systems Team Lead to head our firmware engineering team. This is a hands-on leadership position that combines technical expertise with people management. You will define the technical direction, architect embedded solutions, and mentor engineers as they build our next-generation ARM / Linux-based products. The ideal candidate is both a strong technical contributor and an inspiring leader who can deliver high-quality projects on schedule.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture (50%)

  • Provide technical guidance and architectural leadership for the embedded software platform, ensuring scalability, reliability, and high performance.
  • Lead system architecture design for new ARM-based embedded products—covering SoC evaluation, BSP planning, and software partitioning.
  • Contribute hands-on to critical components such as bootloaders (U-Boot), Linux kernel customization, device drivers, and hardware bring-up.
  • Define and uphold coding standards, code review practices, testing procedures, and documentation quality.
  • Act as the lead technical expert for complex debugging and hardware / software integration issues.
  • Assess, adopt, and integrate new tools, technologies, and methodologies to enhance productivity and product robustness.

Team Leadership & Project Management (40%)

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of embedded software engineers while fostering a collaborative and high-performance environment.
  • Manage firmware-related project schedules, resource planning, and risk mitigation; provide consistent progress updates to stakeholders.
  • Drive the team’s agile processes, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
  • Guide technical discussions and support cross-team decision-making with Hardware, QA, and Product teams.
  • Conduct performance evaluations, identify skill gaps, and support team members’ career development.
  • Recruit, interview, and onboard new engineering talent.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration (10%)

  • Work closely with Hardware Engineering from concept through production.
  • Partner with QA / Validation teams to define testing strategies and ensure thorough system validation.
  • Collaborate with Product Management to convert product requirements into technical specifications and accurate engineering estimates.
  • Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
  • 7+ years of experience in embedded firmware / software development, including at least 2 years in a technical leadership or team lead role.
  • Expert-level proficiency in C / C++ for embedded systems, with strong knowledge of memory management, concurrency, and low-level hardware interactions.
  • Extensive experience with ARM architectures (Cortex-A / M) and embedded Linux, including kernel work, driver frameworks, and device tree configuration.
  • Proven experience in new hardware bring-up and BSP creation / customization.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead teams and manage timelines for complex embedded projects.
  • Strong understanding of full software development lifecycles and agile methodologies.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and mentoring abilities.
  • Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

  • Experience with system build tools (Yocto, Buildroot).
  • Knowledge of RTOS and mixed Linux + RTOS system architectures.
  • Experience in regulated industries (e.g., medical, automotive).
  • Familiarity with wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular) and security concepts (Secure Boot, TEE).
  • Proficiency in Python for scripting and automation.
  • Tell employers what skills you have
