Who you are:
Do you like Embedded Systems, Real Time, Electronics and anything related with low level computing? Do you have an interest in reverse engineering? Do you write your age in hexadecimal? We are looking for Embedded Developers with experience on embedded C and Linux.
What you'll do:
As an Embedded Developer your key area of responsibility will be to design, write, and test C code for Geotab’s GO telematics devices. You will be responsible for performing kernel-level development, debugging code misbehavior, and maintaining and improving testing tools and processes to ensure new releases perform as expected. You will also need to contribute to the evolution of bare-metal code, write guidelines for code portability, and design and implement automatic verification methods. You will need to work closely with other members of the development and technical teams to align new and existing code to widespread practices and industry standards.
To be successful in this role you will be a self-starter with an ability to quickly understand complex, technical concepts, and a drive to search for the “right” solution, not settling with “just works”. In addition, the successful candidate will have strong analytical skills with an ability to provide expert judgment on the suitability of existing OSS solutions for specific functionality needs. The successful candidate will also be able to manage multiple timelines and contrasting priorities to ensure timely results.
How you'll make an impact:
- Develop an in-depth understanding of the Geotab's device firmware from a Systems Architecture point of view.
- Perform kernel-level development using C language.
- Contribute to the evolution of bare-metal code to work on top of an Operating System on both embedded and non-embedded systems.
- Write guidelines that ensure resulting code is able to run across a wide variety of environments and OSes.
- Design testing strategies and implement automatic verification methods.
- Provide expert judgment on the suitability of existing OSS solutions for specific functionality needs.
- Debug code misbehavior and perform the appropriate fixes and modifications.
- Align new and existing code to widespread practices and industry standards.
- Maintain the documentation related to areas of responsibility.
- Strive for perfection, searching for the “right” solution and not settling with “just works”.
What you'll bring to the role:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering or related.
- +5 years experience in firmware development for embedded systems with C.
- Understanding of operating system layers and architectures.
- Strong knowledge of C programming language in POSIX environments.
- Deep understanding on the code building process and compiler passes.
- Proficiency with open source development tools (gcc/gdb).
- Experience in debugging and troubleshooting on embedded targets.
- Ability to read electronic circuit schematics and understand device datasheets.
- Strong hacker attitude.
- Self-learning and open problem solving capabilities.
- Proven ability to work independently and with remote team members.
- Contributions to OSS projects are highly valued.
- Knowledge of modern microprocessor architectures is a plus.
- Exposure and/or experience with SCRUM or other Agile frameworks is a plus.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills in both Spanish and English.
If you got this far, we hope you're feeling excited about this role! Even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
