Top Embedded Software Engineer Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

The Embedded Software Engineer will analyze and develop embedded software systems, provide customer support, and apply software engineering and cybersecurity methods.

Join the Device Software team to design and implement software for SPAN's hardware products using C and C++. Collaborate on projects focusing on microcontroller features and system design, emphasizing reliability and user experience.

Design and implement embedded applications and cloud microservices to manage startup behavior, runtime settings, and configuration across an autonomous vehicle fleet; own service architecture connecting vehicle and cloud; lead cross-team large-scale projects and ensure runtime auditing and recovery.

Develop and maintain embedded firmware and kernel/user-mode device drivers for Ethernet-based networking devices. Design, implement, test, and integrate drivers into a Linux and AUTOSAR communication stack, build SDK components, and create debug/test utilities and automated unit/system tests for safety-critical automotive applications.

Develop and maintain PX4 autopilot firmware for UAVs, integrating sensors and payloads, and managing testing environments. Collaborate on flight operations and system integration.

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will design and implement software for unmanned aircraft systems, debug issues, collaborate with engineering teams, and maintain high software quality standards.

The role involves developing software for embedded devices, managing integrations with third-party devices, and leading implementations while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Design, develop, and optimize platform-level embedded software and reusable frameworks for telecom products (including 5G). Collaborate across systems teams, perform architecture and code reviews, support integrations with customers/partners, and mentor engineers while ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability on heterogeneous processors.

Design and implement high-performance, 3GPP-compliant 5G Core control- and user-plane functions on ARM-based embedded Linux. Develop in C/Go/Rust, use DPDK for packet processing, optimize latency/throughput, debug protocol and performance issues, and collaborate cross-functionally to integrate carrier-grade systems.

Lead low-level bring-up and stabilization of Qualcomm-based Android/Linux device OS for a large fleet of solar-powered cameras. Implement devicetree and pSIM frameworks, customize bootloaders, develop/debug ADSP firmware, collaborate with hardware and application teams, and improve CI/tooling to ensure reliable field deployments.

Develop and maintain PetaLinux-based BSPs and board bring-up for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC; author device trees and kernel configs; implement/modify drivers and user-space C++ applications to control FPGA-attached hardware, stream and reliably record high-rate radar data; build host tools, create automated tests, profile/optimize throughput, and collaborate with FPGA/EE/systems teams for integration and validation.

Lead ownership of Dapster's robotic system, writing code for sensors and interfaces, integrating devices, and contributing to foundational technology.

Optimize Ubuntu integration across latest IoT and server-class hardware, lead customer engagements, and work with open source communities in a remote, collaborative environment.

Design, implement, and maintain embedded Linux system software and firmware for the Pod. Own platform security including secure boot, key management, and device trust. Partner with manufacturing for production tests and deployments. Optimize resource-constrained compute workloads and ensure reliability, documentation, and fleet security.

Serve as an embedded Linux expert on customer projects: design and refactor real-time architectures, develop Linux kernel drivers, debug low-level hardware/software issues, optimize kernel performance, collaborate with customers and internal teams, lead technical efforts, produce high-quality deliverables, and create technical proposals to support product lifecycle and certification.

Design and implement embedded firmware and low-level software for server BMCs and GPU/HPC platforms. Enhance OpenBMC, enable real-time telemetry of power/thermal sensors, debug low-level drivers and interfaces, validate hardware-firmware integration, and contribute to long-term firmware architecture for cluster reliability.
