Embedded Software Engineer

📍 Mollet del Valles (Barcelona), Spain

🏠 Hybrid Working

🌎 Global tech company founded in 2011

🌱 Our mission is to shape the future through technology

The role

Design, develop, and test embedded C/C++ firmware and real-time software architectures for cutting-edge automotive, medtech, and industrial devices, ensuring full functional safety compliance, high code quality, and seamless integration in alignment with Idneo standards and product excellence goals.

Key functions

• Design the detailed architecture and embedded software modules in C and C++ programming languages for microcontrollers and microprocessors (ARM Cortex-M/A, TriCore, etc.).

• Develop low-level drivers (MCAL/HAL), hardware abstraction layers, and communication protocol stacks (CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, BLE, Wi-Fi).

• Implement application logic running on Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, SafeRTOS) or Bare-Metal architectures.

• Configure and integrate industry-standard software stacks (e.g., AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive) when applicable according to project needs.

• Execute debugging on the target board utilizing laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers, emulators, and CAN network tools (Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, PeakCAN).

• Actively cooperate with the Hardware and Validation teams to troubleshoot anomalies and support the commissioning of new prototypes.

Key responsibilities

• Apply secure and maintainable coding guidelines following the MISRA C / MISRA C++ standards and static/dynamic code analysis rules.

• Ensure strict compliance with software quality processes under ASPICE (Automotive SPICE) or ISO 9001/13485 models.

• Actively participate in the implementation of functional safety standards depending on the industry (ISO 26262 for automotive, IEC 62304 for medical devices, or IEC 61508 for industrial).

• Perform unit testing, integration testing, and code coverage analysis (using tools like VectorCAST, Cantata, or GoogleTest) to guarantee software reliability.

• Manage versions properly using control tools (Git, SVN) and track tasks/bugs effectively through issue tracking systems (Jira, Confluence).

• Document software design specifications, architecture, and test plans in accordance with the project's delivery phases.

• Participate in peer-to-peer Code Reviews to ensure consistency, high quality, and adherence to development best practices across the team.

University Degree in Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications or Computer Science

Minimum of 3 years of proven experience in embedded software development using C/C++.

Technical Knowledge:

• Solid programming skills in C/C++

• Experience working with RTOS and Bare-metal architectures.

• Knowledge of communication buses (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART)

Proficiency in Git, Jira, GCC/IAR/Keil compilers, and Vector CANoe/CANalyzer.

Fluent English (minimum B2 level, C1 highly desirable), both written and spoken.

The most important is attitude, ownership and problem solving abilities when a new technology comes up.
