Embedded Engineer at ExecRecruitment – Dearborn, Michigan

Embedded Linux Integration Engineer to work on lower‑level platform services within an in‑vehicle or embedded systems environment. The focus is on diagnostics, networking, software update pipelines, and core platform components (not display/HMI).

This is a hands‑on, systems-level role that involves working directly with embedded boards, writing small test programs, and validating how components interact within a larger platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform integration testing for lower-level platform services, including:
• diagnostics
• networking
• software update components
• general platform services
• Write test programs in C/C++ or Python to validate component behavior and integration.
• Flash embedded boards and perform bring-up activities.
• Connect to hardware via serial/UART, Ethernet, SSH, and similar interfaces.
• Use tools such as Valgrind and GPROF for profiling, timing analysis, and memory investigation.
• Validate platform-level functionality to ensure components work correctly end-to-end.
• Troubleshoot issues at the system level, spanning Linux, middleware, and platform services.
• Work with bench setups or hardware-in-the-loop environments.
• Collaborate with distributed engineering teams.

Required Skills

• Strong programming experience in C and C++.
• Solid Python scripting skills for automation and testing.
• Linux system‑level experience, including:
• flashing images
• serial/Ethernet connectivity
• system bring‑up
• debugging tools
• Experience writing integration tests or small test utilities.
• Hands-on experience with Valgrind, GPROF, or similar profiling tools.
• Strong understanding of system-level interactions in embedded environments.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with automotive or embedded diagnostics (UDS/CAN/DoIP) is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with networking stacks or platform infrastructure services.
• Experience with OTA/software‑update systems.
• Knowledge of Yocto, QNX, or other Linux-based embedded distributions.
