Client: Young, high tech organization building mission critical systems, based in Abu Dhabi
Role Overview
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will design, develop, and optimize real-time embedded software running on cutting-edge hardware platforms. You’ll work in a Linux-based and real-time (RTOS) environment, applying modern C++ (C++14 and above) standards to create efficient, robust, and maintainable software. You’ll collaborate with hardware, signal processing, and systems engineers to integrate advanced capabilities into their mission-critical products.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for mission-critical real-time systems.
- Implement robust, efficient, and scalable code using modern C++ (14/17/20) standards.
- Develop applications and drivers for Embedded Linux platforms.
- Work with Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and multithreaded environments.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define software requirements and system interfaces.
- Optimize software for performance, reliability, and resource efficiency.
- Conduct debugging, integration, and validation on target hardware.
- Participate in code reviews, continuous integration, and version control best practices.
- Contribute to system-level design discussions and architecture improvements.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- Minimum 8 years of experience in embedded software development.
- Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++14 or newer) — templates, RAII, smart pointers, constexpr, etc.
- Hands-on experience with Linux (Ubuntu)
- Experience with Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and multithreaded programming.
- Solid understanding of software design principles, concurrency, and synchronization.
- Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and build tools (CMake, Yocto, etc.).
Highly Desirable
- Experience with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms or frameworks.
- Proficiency in C for low-level hardware interfacing.
- Scripting and automation skills in Python.
- Exposure to real-time data pipelines, sensor fusion, or signal acquisition systems.
- Experience with unit testing and continuous integration in embedded contexts.
What They Offer
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge, mission-critical technologies.
- Collaborative environment with strong technical mentorship and career growth opportunities.
- Competitive compensation and benefits (tax free, relocation support provided by the client)
- A culture that values innovation, precision, and impact.
Relocation is expected, the position is not remote
