Scope
Evertz is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to be part of the Markham Engineering team responsible for the design and development of current video routing and video‑centric IP switching products, as well as adapting or extending existing products.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain embedded software and firmware for Evertz broadcast/IP routing or switching products, primarily on Linux‑based platforms

Collaborate with various internal groups to define hardware/software interfaces, review schematics, and perform board‑level integration and troubleshooting

Develop and maintain real‑time software components, integrating RTOS concepts alongside embedded Linux where timing‑critical behavior is required

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline, or equivalent experience

Strong proficiency in C and C++

Understanding of memory management, multithreading, synchronization primitives, and inter‑process communication (IPC) in an embedded Linux context

Minimum 2–5 years of hands‑on experience in embedded software development

Comfortable working day‑to‑day in a Linux command‑line environment as a primary development platform (no GUI dependency)

Proficient with Bash scripting for task automation, build scripting, log parsing, and development tooling

Experienced with standard Linux utilities and command‑line tools: grep, awk, sed, find, make, tar, ssh, scp, rsync, and similar

Familiar with Linux process management and monitoring tools: ps, top, htop, strace, lsof, dmesg; able to use gdb and related tools for debugging applications on Linux targets

Experience using git/svn from the command line, including branching,



rebasing, cherry‑picking, and resolving merge conflicts

Bonus Requirements

Knowledge of video/audio signal processing concepts relevant to broadcast SDI/TDM/MADI

Understanding of data communications fundamentals, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, VLAN, multicast)

Familiarity with broadcast industry networking standards such as ST 2022, ST 2110, NMOS, or PTP/IEEE 1588

Familiarity with OpenTelemetry (OTel) for instrumentation, observability, and diagnostics in embedded or systems software; experience collecting and exporting telemetry data (traces, metrics, logs) from Linux‑based applications to backends

Familiarity with graphics rendering on embedded Linux platforms, including experience with OpenGL ES, Vulkan, or similar APIs; exposure to GPU‑accelerated rendering pipelines and direct framebuffer management using DRM/KMS is an asset, and experience with GPU‑accelerated rendering in headless or resource‑constrained embedded environments is a plus

Experience with FPGA development or familiarity with HDL (VHDL/Verilog)
