Summary
Design and ship safety-critical embedded firmware for autonomous and connected vehicle platforms using C/C++, RTOS, and real-time systems.
AGEO (ALA Engineering) is a leading innovator in automation technology, specializing in solutions for heavy-duty operations. We develop cutting-edge embedded systems to support industrial vehicles in the most demanding real-world environments.
We are looking for Senior Embedded Software Engineer to take technical ownership of custom embedded products that power autonomous and connected vehicle platforms. In this role, you will work across the full lifecycle, from early hardware bring-up and firmware architecture through field deployment and fleet management, playing a key role in shaping the future of AGEO’s autonomous systems.
Exact role will be determined based on experience.
What you’ll do:
- Design, develop, and maintain production-grade embedded firmware for safety-critical ECUs
- Architect and implement real-time systems using RTOS
- Enforce deterministic execution, interrupt handling discipline, and timing guarantees
- Lead board bring-up activities, including hardware validation, driver development, and system initialization
- Collaborate closely with hardware engineers on schematic reviews, PCB bring-up, and co-debugging
- Establish best practices for code quality, testing, and maintainability
What we’re looking for (Requirements):
Strong expertise in C/C++ for embedded systems
Experience in RTOS-based development (FreeRTOS, Zephy, or equivalent)
Solid understanding of
- Interrupts, DMA, timers, and low-level drivers
- Deterministic real-time behavior
- Memory management in constrained embedded systems
Experience with I2C, SPI, UART, CAN/CAN-FD
Experience with Ethernet-based communication (TCP/IP, UDP, MQTT)
Experience working with cellular communication modules and modem integration (AT command interfaces, network bring-up, connection management)
Proficiency using hardware debug and validation tools - logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeter
Ability to read schematics, interpret IC datasheets, and work effectively at the hardware-software boundary
Solid Git workflow for collaborative development practices
Minimum 4+ years of embedded software development experience
Nice to Have (Bonus):
- Experience with embedded Linux systems such as Buildroot, Yocto
- Exposure to ROS2
- GNSS (RTCM, PPP, RTK) application knowledge
- LoRa/LoRaWAN or similar wireless radio communication experience
- System modeling (UML/SysML) experience
Education and Experience:
B.S. degree or higher in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
Competitive salary commensurate with experience
Flexible working hours
Paid holidays, sick leave, annual leave
Medical and insurance coverage
