Your role in the team
- As a Team Lead Embedded Software, you will lead and grow a team working across ARM Linux systems, bare-metal firmware, and Python-based tooling.
- Your team owns software close to the hardware, from microcontrollers responsible for power management, sensor synchronization, and I/O through to Linux-based systems, low-level kernel drivers, and tooling used by Electrical Engineering and Production.
- You will combine people leadership with strong technical ownership.
- Working closely with Electrical Engineering, System Software, Product, Production, Quality, and Support, you will help define technical direction, establish priorities, and make clear trade-offs between scope, quality, and timelines.
- You will remain close enough to the technology to review architecture and designs, unblock complex problems, and contribute during critical phases such as new-platform bring-up.
- Lead and develop the Embedded Software team, supporting engineers through regular feedback, growth planning, performance management, hiring, and onboarding.
- Own the team's technical direction and architecture across ARM Linux systems, kernel drivers, bare-metal and RTOS firmware, and Python-based engineering and production tooling.
- Shape the team roadmap and priorities together with Electrical Engineering, System Software, Product, Production, Quality, and Support, making technical and delivery trade-offs transparent.
- Drive strong embedded software engineering practices, including architecture reviews, automated testing, hardware-in-the-loop setups, build systems, CI/CD, firmware packaging, and deployment.
- Guide the team through complex technical challenges, reviewing designs and code, removing blockers, and contributing directly where deep technical expertise is needed.
- Improve the reliability and maintainability of embedded systems by reducing knowledge silos and single points of failure across firmware and tooling.
- Build strong interfaces between Embedded Software and adjacent teams, translating product and system requirements into clear technical plans.
- Support successful new hardware platform bring-up, ensuring software architecture, testing, and integration evolve alongside the hardware.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Strong technical expertise in embedded C and C++, including kernel and driver development, bare-metal Cortex-M or RTOS environments, together with solid Linux fundamentals.
- Knowledge of high-speed hardware interfaces such as USB 3.x, MIPI CSI-2, MIPI DSI, HDMI, or Gigabit Ethernet.
Experience
- Significant experience in embedded software engineering on real hardware, including substantial experience working closely with Electrical Engineering teams.
- Hands-on experience with Linux-based embedded systems, including areas such as user-space or kernel-space drivers, cross-compilation, toolchains, device trees, or system bring-up.
- Practical experience with Python for engineering tooling or test automation, alongside modern build, CI/CD, and automated testing practices.
- Experience leading and developing engineers, either through formal people management or substantial technical leadership, with the ability to provide clear feedback, set priorities, and support individual growth.
- Strong architectural and cross-functional communication skills, with experience defining software architecture, deployment, and testing strategies and aligning teams around them.
- Experience working with MIPI cameras and image sensors.
- Experience with over-the-air firmware deployment or provisioning tools, such as Ansible, NIX.
- Experience with hybrid SoC and FPGA architectures using high-speed PCIe interfaces.
What we offer
- This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of three days onsite each week.
