Embedded Software Team Lead

3 Days Old

Description Working within the Software Development team, your role is to help co‑ordinate the embedded software development team and contribute to all development activities. The Embedded Software Team Lead position combines both management and engineering duties, and requires you to maintain your engineering skills to serve effectively as a technical manager. As part of a team of embedded software developers you will be involved in projects that use microcontrollers, DSP and embedded Linux technologies. You will have proven skills in one or more of these areas and will actively contribute to the code base. In the early stages of a project you will collaborate with the Project Management and Engineering Management teams to transform technical specifications into detailed software tasks. During the development phase you will manage the team, promote a collaborative work culture, and ensure that requirements are met throughout the development lifecycle. You will report status updates to management and project leadership using tools such as Jira and Confluence. The role demands multitasking and a shift between engineering problem‑solving and a macroscopic view of system timelines.
