Embedded software engineers building safety‑critical C/C++ systems on their own RTOS, requiring deep understanding of real‑time constraints, determinism, and rigorous documentation.
Core skills include:
Embedded C / C++ (primary language requirement)
Real‑Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
FreeRTOS
SAFE RTOS
Other small‑footprint RTOS
Embedded microcontrollers & SoCs
ARM Cortex‑R and Cortex‑A cores (used in their demos)
Bare‑metal firmware development
Low‑level driver development
Memory‑safe and resource‑constrained programming
Concurrency, scheduling, determinism
Hardware-software integration
Candidates must demonstrate experience in any safety‑critical environment:
ISO 26262 (Automotive)
IEC 61508 (Industrial)
DO‑178C / DO‑254 (Aerospace)
IEC 62304 (Medical)
Hazard analysis experience (HAZOP, FMEA)
Documentation‑heavy workflows
Traceability & verification processes
High learning velocity (their OS is niche)
Resilience when making mistakes
Motivation & ambition
Precision and quality mindset
