Embedded Firmware Engineer

Remote PL | Wrocław | 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.
