Sr. Embedded CC++ Developer

Role: Sr. Embedded C/C Developer
Location: Chillicothe Illinois

Job Description & Skill Requirement:

The Embedded software team builds the foundational software that powers next-generation machines and power systems. You will design and implement low-level software for Electronic Control Units (ECUs) related modules and edge devices-owning drivers BSPs bootloaders and communication stacks that keep our machines safe connected and reliable in demanding environments.

What Youll Do
Device Drivers & BSP
Design implement and optimize drivers for peripherals (GPIO SPI I C UART ADC/DAC PWM Timers Watchdog Flash/NVM).
Bring-up new hardware: bootloaders memory maps linker scripts startup code and board initialization.
Develop and maintain Board Support Packages (BSP) for MCU/SoC platforms (ARM Cortex-M/A or similar).

Real-Time Software
Build RTOS-based applications (task scheduling ISR design queues/semaphores timing analysis).
Integrate and tune RTOS components (e.g. FreeRTOS SafeRTOS QNX Zephyr or similar) for deterministic behavior.

Networking & Protocols
Implement debug and validate CAN / J1939 / ISO-TP / UDS stacks and application layers.
Develop Ethernet features (L2/L3 basics UDP/TCP/IP diagnostics and time-sensitive networking where applicable).
Support diagnostics bootloading over CAN/Ethernet and in-field update infrastructure.

Linux & Platform Integration
Build Linux-based embedded systems (Yocto/Buildroot) kernel configuration drivers and user-space daemons.
Integrate middleware and services for telemetry logging and OTA where applicable.
Software Quality & Safety
Apply MISRA-C/C and static analysis (e.g. Coverity PC-Lint).
Develop unit/functional tests and automate regression on benches.
Collaborate with systems electrical validation and manufacturing teams to deliver robust product-grade software.

Tools & Processes

Use oscilloscopes logic analyzers CAN analyzers and protocol tools.
Participate in code reviews traceability and documentation aligned to safety and quality standards.

Required Qualifications

Bachelors or Masters in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or related field.
3 years of professional embedded development experience (strong recent graduates with relevant internships/projects encouraged).
Strong proficiency in C and C for embedded targets.
Hands-on experience with CAN (ideally J1939 UDS/ISO 14229 ISO-TP/15765) and Ethernet on embedded platforms.
Solid knowledge of RTOS concepts (tasks ISRs scheduling timing memory management).
Experience with Linux in embedded contexts (driver basics kernel/user-space integration or build systems).
Comfort with microcontroller/SoC internals (interrupts DMA clocking low-power modes memory maps).
Proficiency with hardware debugging tools (JTAG/SWD oscilloscopes logic analyzers CAN tools).
Version control (Git) build systems (CMake/Make) and CI fundamentals.
Desired / Nice-to-Have
AUTOSAR (Classic) concepts and integration; BSW configuration and debugging.
Bootloaders (CAN/Ethernet/USB) secure boot and firmware update mechanisms.
Safety or reliability exposure (ISO 26262 concepts FMEA defensive design).
Scripting for automation (Python Bash) and test orchestration (pytest/Robot).
Prior work with off-highway heavy equipment industrial or automotive ECUs.

External Skills And Expertise

1. Experience in the application of data links such as CAN/J1939 Ethernet TCP/IP
2. Experience working on systems engineering activities for Telematics units vehicle netwroking using routers/switches/gateways embedded web server.
communication teamwork and analytical skills
4. Programming languages like C and Python are desired
5. Knwoledge on CI/CD systems and software development
