About the role
The embedded software team is growing and looking for talented Embedded Software Engineers to develop firmware for hardware products. You will work on bare-metal and RTOS-based systems, driver development, and hardware bring-up for resource-constrained devices.
Key responsibilities
- Develop and maintain firmware for microcontrollers and embedded processors (ARM Cortex-M series)
- Write low-level device drivers for peripherals: I2C, SPI, UART, USB, BLE, and more
- Implement and optimise real-time software using FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar RTOSes
- Collaborate with electronics engineers during hardware bring-up and debugging
- Design robust communication protocols and data serialisation for connected devices
- Write unit tests, integration tests, and contribute to CI/CD for embedded targets
- Analyse power consumption and implement firmware-level power optimisations
- Create and maintain firmware documentation, including architecture diagrams and API specs
Required qualifications
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or Electrical Engineering
- 3+ years of experience writing firmware in C for microcontrollers
- Strong understanding of memory management, interrupts, and real-time constraints
- Experience with at least one RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, or similar)
- Hands-on experience with hardware debugging tools: JTAG, SWD, logic analysers
- Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and embedded build systems (CMake, Make)
- Good English reading and writing skills for technical documentation
Nice to have
- Experience with wireless stacks: BLE (NimBLE, SoftDevice), Wi-Fi, Thread/Matter
- Knowledge of bootloader design and OTA firmware update mechanisms
- Experience with C++ for embedded systems or Rust
- Familiarity with DO-178C, IEC 61508, or other safety-critical standards
- Open-source firmware contributions
This is an on-site position paying up to VND55,000,000 per month.
