Job VC
Embedded & Test Firmware Engineer
Technologies
Description
Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced engineer to develop
test firmware
used for validation, diagnostics, and production testing of complex RF and digital systems.
You will work closely with RF, hardware, embedded, and test engineering teams to ensure reliable, repeatable, and scalable test solutions from early prototypes through stable field and production operation.
Responsibilities
Embedded & Test Firmware Development
Develop, maintain, and optimize
test firmware for DUTs
used in validation, characterization, and production testing
Implement automated and semi-automated hardware tests
Support functional and end-of-line test flows
Analyse test results, logs, and failures; perform root-cause analysis
Support HW/SW integration and low-level debugging
Collaboration & Integration
Close collaboration with test engineers, RF, hardware, embedded, and QA teams
Contribute to test strategy, DFT concepts, and validation plans
Maintain clear technical documentation for test firmware
Skills & Experience
2+ years of experience as an Embedded Engineer, or similar role
Experience with SPI, UART, I2C, Ethernet, CAN, USB interfaces
Deep understanding of:
I/Q signal chains
Clocking and synchronization
RF impairments and system constraints
Experience with measurements and signal analysing equipment:
Oscilloscope
Logic Analyzer
Spectrum Analyzer
RF Power Meter
Proven experience bringing up custom hardware boards
Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across HW, FPGA, and embedded SW
Solid knowledge of electronics and ability to read schematics
Proficiency in C programming
Experience with JTAG / SWD debug tools
English proficiency: B1 or higher
Nice to Have
Experience with production or manufacturing test systems
Knowledge of cryptography and cybersecurity concepts
Understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, RTP)
Experience with Python programming
Experience with CI/CD for embedded or FPGA projects
Experience with VHDL/Verilog for FPGA or digital logic development is a plus
Experience in defence or dual-use systems
Field testing experience with RF communication systems
