Embedded Firmware Engineer

For one of our clients, a leading global company specializing in high-precision measurement technologies, we are looking for an Embedded Firmware Engineer to join their expanding team in Bulgaria. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, combining the agility of a startup with the stability of an established international organization. The role offers the chance to drive innovation in embedded systems while contributing to cutting-edge technology development.

Role Overview

As an Embedded Firmware Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing firmware for advanced measurement instruments. The role requires expertise in bare-metal programming, primarily for ARM-based microcontrollers, with a strong foundation in C programming (C++ is a plus). Your work will involve integrating UI frameworks (such as LVGL or TouchGFX) into resource-constrained systems and closely collaborating with hardware teams to ensure seamless functionality.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and fine-tune embedded firmware for ARM microcontrollers.
• Implement low-level programming on bare-metal systems to ensure performance efficiency.
• Adapt and integrate UI libraries like LVGL or TouchGFX for embedded displays.
• Work in close coordination with hardware engineers to optimise system performance.
• Utilize development tools, particularly the ST toolchain, to streamline the workflow.
• Maintain structured and version-controlled code using Git.
• Contribute across multiple project phases, from concept to implementation, in a small, cross-functional team.
• (Optional) Work with Zephyr OS, an added advantage for system scalability and flexibility.

Qualifications & Skills

• Strong proficiency in C programming (experience with C++ is an advantage).
• Extensive experience with bare-metal programming and low-level firmware development.
• Hands-on knowledge of ARM architecture and microcontroller-based systems.
• Exposure to UI framework integration for embedded applications (LVGL, TouchGFX, or similar).
• Familiarity with debugging and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, I3C, etc.).
• Experience using Git for version control and collaborative development.
• Bonus: Previous work with Zephyr OS and the ST toolchain.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to work independently in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.

Why To Join 

• Impactful work – Be part of a tight-knit team where your contributions directly shape the success of the company.
• Innovative environment – Work on advanced embedded solutions in a collaborative, tech-driven culture.
• Growth potential – Competitive compensation, career development opportunities, and exposure to international projects.
• Global collaboration – Work alongside professionals from both Bulgaria and Germany, sharing expertise and best practices.
