Embedded System Software Engineer

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Salary range: Rs 600000 - Rs 1500000 (ie INR 6 - 15 LPA)

Min Experience: 4 years

Location: Hyderabad

JobType: full-time

We are a rapidly expanding deep-tech startup focused on developing next-generation embedded products from the ground up. We move quickly, prototype extensively, and transform ideas from concept sketches to finished products.

If you enjoy tackling tangible hardware challenges, writing efficient firmware, bringing up boards, and watching your designs enter mass production, you will thrive here.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop embedded hardware systems using microcontrollers and SoCs.

Create, test, and enhance embedded firmware written in C/C++.

Handle schematic design, component selection, PCB reviews, and board bring-up activities.

Develop low-level drivers for peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet, and others.

Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers to diagnose and resolve hardware and firmware issues.

Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams including mechanical, testing, and manufacturing departments.

Support product validation, compliance testing, and oversee production releases.

Prepare detailed technical documentation and design reports.

Engage directly with founders and product teams to ensure alignment.

Drive products from prototype stages through to manufacturing.

Here, you won’t just “contribute”—you will own entire modules and deliver products to market.

Required Skills & Qualifications

4 to 8 years of practical experience in embedded systems engineering.

Proficient in embedded C and C++ programming.

Experience working with microprocessors, microcontrollers, and SoCs.

Knowledge of power supply design as well as analog and digital interfaces.

Skilled in schematic design and PCB review processes.

Strong debugging capabilities using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG tools.

Comprehensive understanding of communication protocols including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Bluetooth, WiFi, and others.

You should be confident navigating seamlessly between hardware and firmware domains.

Preferred But Not Required

Experience with FPGA development using Verilog or VHDL.

Familiarity with Xilinx or Intel FPGA toolchains.

Exposure to high-speed digital design.

Knowledge of embedded Linux systems.

Awareness of EMI/EMC considerations.

Educational Qualification

B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech degrees in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or Embedded Systems.

Who Will Excel Here

Innovators who enjoy solving complex, real-world problems.

Engineers who take initiative and own their work rather than wait for instructions.

Individuals who thrive under rapid iteration cycles and tight deadlines.

People who value making an impact above adhering strictly to hierarchy.

Why Join Our Team

Opportunity to work on advanced embedded products.

High level of ownership and authority in decision-making.

Chance to grow quickly through challenging work.

A direct influence on product architecture and development.
