This role involves developing embedded HMI systems in Qt/C++ and Python, building custom Yocto Linux distributions, and managing our embedded cybersecurity program.

Responsibilities

• Develop high-performance Qt/C++ applications for embedded HMI systems on industrial touchscreen panels.
• Create responsive, touch-optimized user interfaces using Qt Quick/QML for real-time monitoring dashboards.
• Implement efficient data visualization components for temperature trends, alarms, and equipment status.
• Optimize Qt applications for resource-constrained embedded systems (memory footprint, startup time, rendering performance).
• Integrate Qt applications with backend services via REST APIs, WebSockets, and MQTT.
• Lead and mentor junior engineers on Qt/C++ best practices, code quality standards, and design patterns.
• Drive architecture decisions and technical direction for HMI application development efforts.
• Create and manage custom Yocto Linux distributions for industrial embedded devices.
• Configure device trees, kernel modules, and system services for industrial applications.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines for automated Yocto builds and deployment workflows.
• Own and lead Yocto platform initiatives from requirements through delivery, coordinating cross-functional contributors.
• Develop Python-based backend services for industrial automation and test systems.
• Create test automation frameworks for end-of-line production testing.
• Implement and maintain industrial protocol communication (Modbus TCP, CANbus) using Python libraries.
• Create Python utilities for device configuration, firmware management, and diagnostics.
• Lead scoped internal projects such as test system overhauls or protocol integration efforts, managing timelines and technical deliverables.
• Manage the ongoing embedded cybersecurity program across the full product lifecycle.
• Conduct periodic security reviews, vulnerability assessments, and threat modeling exercises.
• Maintain and improve the organization’s embedded security posture through continuous hardening efforts.
• Monitor and respond to emerging CVEs and security advisories relevant to embedded Linux and industrial systems.
• Document security architecture, hardening procedures, and incident response protocols.
• Serve as the internal technical authority on embedded security, guiding team members through compliance and hardening requirements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree (BS) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical discipline required; Master’s Degree preferred.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in embedded software development, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity.
• Demonstrated ability to lead internal teams or cross-functional mini-projects from scoping through delivery.
• Experience mentoring engineers and conducting technical code and design reviews.
• Advanced proficiency in Python, Qt/C++, and Web-Based Application Development.
• Strong working knowledge of Yocto Linux, embedded cybersecurity frameworks, and relevant compliance standards (IEC 62443, IEC 62304, or similar).
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Experience with embedded Linux along with the following: Application Development, Design and development of high-performance Qt/C++ applications for embedded HMI systems on industrial touchscreen panels.
• Strong testing experience (TDD, unit tests, mocking frameworks) in embedded and/or regulated environments.
• Knowledge of Python, Qt/C++, and Web-Based Application Development.
• Experience with Yocto Linux, embedded cybersecurity frameworks, and relevant compliance standards (IEC 62443, IEC 62304, or similar).
