Embedded Engineer (C/C++)

abra R&D is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. We are looking for an engineer with strong experience in C++ user-space development, low-level C programming for hardware bring-up, system-level integration, and hands-on work with FPGA-based platforms (Xilinx). The system involves complex laser processing, image processing, data pipelines, and communication across multiple hardware modules. Responsibilities Develop user-space embedded and system-level software in C++ and Python. Perform low-level C development for hardware interaction and board bring-up. Lead board bring-up activities, from first power-up through full operational functionality. Work with BSPs, kernel structures, and device drivers (kernel development not required). Integrate and debug complex systems involving laser systems, imaging pipelines, data processing, and multi-module communication. Collaborate closely with FPGA engineers and work with Xilinx-based FPGA platforms. Utilize AI tools at a high level to support development, analysis, and testing workflows. 5+ years of hands-on software development experience – mandatory. Strong proficiency in C++, with an excellent command of user-space embedded C++ development – mandatory. Experience with Python for user-space embedded development – mandatory. Experience with C for board-level bring-up and hardware interaction – mandatory. Proven experience with board bring-up processes, from first power-up to full system operation – mandatory. Solid understanding of BSPs, kernel concepts, and driver interaction. Experience working with FPGA-based platforms – mandatory. Experience working with Xilinx SoC platforms – an advantage. Experience with Yocto – mandatory. Experience with Buildroot – an advantage. Experience with RDMA drivers – an advantage. Experience working on multi-disciplinary systems involving laser systems, image processing, data processing, and system interfaces – an advantage. Strong ability to utilize AI tools at an advanced level for development, analysis, and testing – mandatory.
