About the Opportunity
We are a recruiting agency partnering with a leading smart home security company to find a Senior Embedded Software Engineer for an exciting robotics project. Our client is developing a new mobile security device equipped with cameras and motion detection, capable of autonomous movement and app-based control. The hardware platform is already in place, and the firmware team in Ukraine and Poland is now building the embedded software layer for the product.
This is a strong opportunity to join a new product at an early stage, working closely with QA, Research, and Mobile teams in a mature agile environment with solid engineering practices, code reviews, and CI/CD.
What You Will Be Doing
- Design, develop, and optimize embedded software in C and C++ (primarily C++17) for a next-generation robotic security device
- Work across the embedded stack, from Linux BSP and low-level integration to ARM-based microcontrollers running RTOS
- Develop and maintain firmware components using Buildroot, Yocto, and CMake
- Debug and resolve complex software, hardware, and connectivity issues
- Contribute to the development of new features for a greenfield robotics product
- Optimize software performance for resource-constrained embedded environments
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices
- Collaborate with QA on test strategy and product quality improvements
- Prepare and maintain technical documentation for software design, APIs, and troubleshooting
What We Are Looking For
- 5+ years of commercial experience in embedded software development
- Strong commercial experience with C and C++ in low-level embedded environments
- Hands-on experience with RTOS and embedded development for microcontroller-based systems
- Commercial experience with Embedded Linux, including BSP, Buildroot, or Yocto
- Solid Linux background and confidence working in Linux-based development environments
- Strong understanding of multithreading, network programming, and multicore embedded systems
- Good knowledge of hardware communication interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
- Experience working close to hardware, including schematics and technical documentation
- Proficiency with development tools such as Git, CMake, and CI/CD pipelines
- Ability to work independently on complex engineering tasks and deliver production-ready solutions
Nice to Have
- Experience with ROS or exposure to robotics-related systems
- Familiarity with modern security protocols and encryption methods
- Experience with Android OS internals
- Python for scripting and automation
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools
