Remote PL | WrocΕaw | Poland | Engineering - Firmware
About the Opportunity
We are a recruiting agency partnering with a global smart home security company to find a skilled C & C++ Embedded Engineer. Our client develops firmware for millions of devices worldwide - indoor/outdoor cameras, doorbells, and IoT devices - and is now expanding their embedded team in Poland.
The role involves both sustaining engineering on production devices and contributing to new feature development. You will be joining a team of experienced engineers who follow agile methodologies, rigorous code reviews, and continuous integration practices.
What You Will Be Doing
- Design, develop, and maintain high-quality embedded software in C and C++ for camera-based security devices.
- Debug and resolve complex software, hardware, and network connectivity issues across the entire software stack.
- Develop new features and improve existing codebases for the product line.
- Optimize software performance for resource-constrained embedded environments.
- Conduct code reviews and provide technical mentorship to team members.
- Participate in architecture discussions and technical decision-making processes.
- Collaborate with QA teams to develop comprehensive testing strategies.
- Document software designs, APIs, libraries, and troubleshooting procedures.
What We Are Looking For
- At least 5+ years of commercial experience in embedded development with strong expertise in C and C++ (typically C++17).
- Mandatory hands-on experience with any RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, QNX, or similar).
- Deep understanding of microcontroller-based embedded systems (commonly ARM-based MCUs; experience with other architectures such as RISC-V is a plus).
- Experience with Embedded Linux (BSP, Buildroot, Yocto) is highly valued; candidates without it should be willing to work across both RTOS and Embedded Linux environments.
- Solid understanding of networking in embedded systems (e.g., TCP/IP stacks, wireless connectivity, device networking).
- Experience with multithreading and concurrency in embedded environments, including multicore microcontrollers.
- Expertise in communication interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART and working knowledge of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stacks.
- Experience developing or integrating device drivers and low-level hardware libraries.
- Proficiency with engineering tools such as Git, CMake, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of complex technical challenges.
- Upper-Intermediate English (B2) or higher.
Nice to Have
- Understanding of security protocols and encryption methods.
- Experience with Python for scripting and automation.
- Experience using AI-powered tools to enhance productivity and code quality.
- Familiarity with ROS (Robot Operating System) or robotics platforms is a plus for some projects.
- Experience with Android OS internals.
