Embedded Software Engineer - safety-critical RTOS

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
• Ability to handle safety-critical documentation burden
