Position Title: Senior Embedded Build, Release & Integration Developer Status: Full-time, permanent Salary Range: $120,000 to $150,000 CAD For over forty years our companies, industry-leading manufacturers and distributors of high-quality, luxury consumer audio products, have set the standard for excellence in every product category we offer. We continuously push the boundaries of design and quality with a constant focus on providing high-performance solutions and value. In our Ottawa design center, we create a wide range of products, including Home Theater Receivers, Audio and Video Processors, Single- Stereo- and Multichannel Amplifiers, Sound Distribution Systems and subwoofer pre-amplifiers and amplifiers sold under Anthem, Paradigm and MartinLogan brands.

Each of our products is a masterpiece of engineering. We have expertise and capability to go through all stages of the product development, from in-house design to in-house manufacturing, from ideas and concepts to best products on the market that fuel the ambiance of living rooms and concert halls! We are looking for a Senior Embedded Build, Release & Integration Developer to own the infrastructure and integration path between software development, external technology partners, and formal product QA.

Our products are distributed embedded systems combining multiple processors and independently versioned software components: bare-metal and RTOS firmware, embedded Linux, inter-processor communications, networking and audio services, vendor SDKs, and internally and externally developed code. Maintain build servers, build scripts, containers, toolchains, Yocto/BitBake environments, and CI pipelines.

Software & Vendor Integration: Integrate software and firmware delivered by internal teams and external technology partners. Manage compatibility across independently versioned firmware, Linux software, middleware, and vendor components. Produce traceable integrated builds for development, QA, and manufacturing. Investigate problems spanning firmware, Linux, middleware, transport,



and processor boundaries.

System Integration & Technical Validation: Validate software changes that require system‑level technical knowledge beyond normal product QA. Verify bug fixes and technical stories by examining logs, services, processes, IPC, network traffic, system state, and interactions between processors and software components. Develop repeatable tests for technical requirements that are difficult to verify through user‑facing QA.

Verify compatibility across firmware/software version combinations. Work with developers when failures cross subsystem boundaries and help determine where the problem originates. Developers remain responsible for testing the correctness of their own changes.

Product QA remains responsible for user‑facing functionality and regression testing. This role owns the technical validation layer between those two, particularly where verification requires understanding the internals of the system.

Agentic Debugging & Engineering Automation: Help us move beyond AI autocomplete and chatbot usage toward automated, codebase‑aware engineering workflows. Giving coding agents controlled access to multiple repositories, Git history, build results, logs, and test results. Generating diagnostic tests and investigation steps.

Integrating AI‑assisted analysis into build, debugging, and failure‑triage workflows. We are particularly interested in workflows where substantial automated analysis can reduce engineering time spent investigating complex failures. Strong hands‑on experience with the following core technical requirements:



Yocto / BitBake build systems and embedded Linux development/troubleshooting — mandatory.

C/C++ codebases in embedded environments. Python, Bash, or similar scripting for build, release, and engineering automation.

Experience with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, inter-processor communication, audio/networking stacks, hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing, or third‑party embedded SDKs is highly valued. Candidates whose DevOps experience is primarily Kubernetes, AWS/Azure/GCP, Terraform, web deployment, or cloud operations must also have substantial hands‑on embedded Linux build and system‑integration experience.

Agentic Engineering

Experience — Asset: Hands‑on experience building automated LLM or coding‑agent workflows is an asset, particularly in areas such as: Repository‑scale or multi‑repository code analysis. Integrating LLM APIs or coding agents with repositories, build/test infrastructure, or diagnostic data. Automated debugging, test generation, failure triage, or engineering analysis.

This experience is an asset, not a substitute for robust embedded systems and integration fundamentals. External software deliveries are integrated predictably without destabilizing active development. The team always knows which firmware and software versions belong together.

Technical integration problems are caught and diagnosed before becoming product‑level QA problems. Senior developers spend less time on recurring build, merge, and release work. Useful AI‑assisted engineering capabilities evolve from individual tool usage into repeatable team workflows.
