Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain advanced build infrastructure for embedded C/C++ projects, encompassing build systems like Make and CMake, and package managers such as Conan.
Manage and optimize embedded toolchains, including compilers, linkers, debuggers, and static analysis tools, to enhance performance and ensure code quality.
Implement and improve continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for embedded software, focusing on automation, speed, and reliability.
Develop and maintain internal developer tools and scripts (Python, Bash) that streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and improve overall team productivity.
Troubleshoot and resolve complex build, toolchain, and environment issues, providing expert support to embedded software development teams.
Collaborate closely with embedded software engineers, QA, and release management to define requirements, integrate new features, and ensure seamless software delivery.
Drive initiatives for build reproducibility, version control strategies, and binary artifact management.
Stay abreast of industry best practices, emerging technologies, and security standards in embedded build systems and software development tools.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement within the team.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
A minimum of 7 years of professional experience in software development, with a significant focus on build systems and tools for embedded C/C++ projects.
Deep expertise with modern build systems (e.g., Make, CMake, Ninja) and package managers (e.g., Conan, vcpkg).
Extensive experience managing and configuring embedded toolchains (e.g., GCC, Clang, IAR, ARM-MDK).
Strong proficiency in scripting languages like Python and Bash for automation.
Proven experience with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platforms (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and version control systems (Git).
Solid understanding of software configuration management, branching strategies, and release processes.
Ability to troubleshoot complex build and environment issues effectively and provide timely solutions.
Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to producing high-quality, reliable systems.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, capable of working effectively in a distributed, remote team environment.
Experience in a regulated industry, such as medical devices, is a significant plus.
