Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, integration, and testing of embedded software solutions for industrial control products.
• Serve as technical owner for assigned features, subsystems, or products throughout the entire development lifecycle.
• Contribute to and influence system and software architecture decisions, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Conduct design and code reviews and provide technical guidance and best-practice recommendations to other engineers.
• Develop and review software requirements, design documentation, verification and validation plans, and build procedures.
• Support hardware bring-up, system integration, and troubleshooting at both the subsystem and system level.
• Provide technical support during product launch activities, including field issue investigation and root cause analysis.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Hardware Engineering, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams.
• Drive continuous improvement in software design practices, coding standards, development processes, and tool usage.
• Mentor and provide technical coaching to less-experienced engineers.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field required.
• 6–10 years of embedded software development experience in an industrial or regulated environment.
