Senior Embedded Software Engineer

ProFound People
Australia · Full-time · Mid-Senior

A world leading deep tech company is expanding its software team and now hiring Senior Embedded Software Engineers to build control and integration software for advanced technology platforms.


In this role, you will design and implement low-level embedded software that drives data acquisition, real-time control, and hardware–software integration. You will primarily develop in C++ and C (or Rust) within a Linux environment, while leveraging Python for testing and automation. This position provides the opportunity to collaborate with hardware and FPGA engineers on complex systems in a multidisciplinary R&D setting.


This is a full-time role based in Sydney. Full relocation is required for interstate candidates; relocation allowance is provided.


Key Responsibilities:


  • Develop embedded software to bring up and control sensor platforms built around FPGA SoCs.
  • Implement low-level drivers and higher-level navigation/application code in C/C++, Rust, and Python.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers on debugging, testing, and feature integration.
  • Work in an embedded Linux environment, supporting both hardware-level and application-level functionality.
  • Engage across both research-led projects and product-focused teams.


Requirements:


  • Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++, with proficiency or exposure to Rust and Python.
  • Experience working with embedded Linux and FPGA-based SoCs.
  • Knowledge of hardware bring-up and debugging in collaboration with electronics engineers.
  • Familiarity with higher-end embedded processors (e.g., ARM STM32 32/64-bit).
  • Background in developing and optimising real-time embedded systems.


Desirable but not essential:


  • Experience with advanced DSP, signal processing, or frequency analysis.
  • Exposure to R&D environments in aerospace, defence, medical, or industrial controls.
  • Ability to contribute to both software and FPGA development as part of a multidisciplinary team.
