Our client is an innovative Canadian technology manufacturer recognized for designing and delivering highly engineered products used in demanding, mission-critical environments worldwide. As the organization continues to expand its engineering capabilities, they are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to develop advanced firmware and signal-processing solutions for sophisticated sensor systems. Reporting to the Manager of Embedded Software, the Embedded Software Engineer will develop embedded software, firmware, and signal-processing algorithms for products operating in demanding environments.

Working closely with hardware, mechanical, software, and test engineers, this individual will design, implement, and optimize real-time embedded software, digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, and system-level functionality from concept through production. The ideal candidate is a technically rigorous and team-oriented engineer who combines deep embedded software expertise with strong analytical skills and a passion for developing reliable, high-performance products. In this role, you will drive embedded software development while partnering with multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing teams to bring advanced sensor-based products to life.

Develop real-time software for sensor acquisition, digital signal processing, communications, and system control. Design and optimize algorithms for signal processing, detection, classification, filtering, feature extraction, and spectral analysis. Optimize embedded software for performance, memory efficiency, reliability, and low-power operation.

Integrate and support hardware interfaces, peripherals,



and wireless communication technologies, including GNSS, satellite communications, Bluetooth, SPI, I²C, UART, USB, Ethernet, CAN, and ADC/DAC. Develop embedded data-logging, diagnostic, health-monitoring, and automated testing utilities. Collaborate with hardware engineers on board bring-up, hardware verification, and hardware-software integration.

Support system verification, validation, production testing, and troubleshooting of complex technical issues. Participate in system architecture, design reviews, technical planning, and project risk management. Analyze field-performance data and implement software enhancements that improve product functionality and reliability.

Contribute to the continuous improvement of software development practices, engineering standards, and product development processes. The ideal candidate is an experienced embedded software engineer with a strong foundation in firmware development, real-time systems, and digital signal processing. You thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment and bring sound technical judgement, attention to detail, and the ability to develop embedded software from initial concept through production and field support.
