About the role

We are looking for firmware engineers who want to own the foundation of new hardware platforms from day one. This role focuses on low level firmware development, early board bring up, and system level enablement across microcontrollers and infotainment class SoCs.
As a firmware engineer, you will work close to the hardware with end to end ownership from first power-on through to a stable, production ready platform. Your work will define boot flows, OS bring up, performance characteristics, and power behavior that future products and teams will build on.

This is a deeply hands-on role for engineers who enjoy operating at the boundary of hardware and software, solving hard problems, and setting technical direction rather than inheriting it. You will collaborate closely with global teams, silicon vendors, and hardware partners and help establish best practices and technical standards for the India organization.

At Applied, you will

Lead board bring up for new hardware platforms including microcontrollers and infotainment SoCs
Develop and debug bootloaders and early boot software
Bring up and customize FreeRTOS, QNX, Linux, and Android on new boards
Enable Linux kernel and device driver enablement for custom hardware
Optimize boot time, system startup, and runtime performance
Drive power optimization across boot, idle states, and active workloads
Debug complex hardware and software issues using JTAG, logic analyzers, and low level logs
Collaborate closely with hardware teams, BSP vendors, and silicon partners
Support system integration, validation, and bring up on real target hardware

At Applied we’re looking for someone who has

Strong experience in firmware or low level embedded systems development
Hands on experience with board bring up for MCUs or SoCs
Deep knowledge of FreeRTOS and/or QNX for embedded systems
Experience with the Linux kernel or Android at the platform level
Solid understanding of bootloaders such as U Boot or custom boot flows
Strong C and C++ programming skills
Experience debugging early boot and hardware dependent issues
Understanding of power management, boot optimization, and performance tuning
Comfortable reading schematics and datasheets and working close to hardware
Ability to work independently and take ownership from bring up to stabilization

Nice to have

Experience with BSP customization and silicon vendor SDKs
Familiarity with secure boot, firmware update flows, or OTA mechanisms
Experience supporting customer facing engineering or production bring up
Experience with cloud-connected vehicle platforms, SDV architectures, and AI-driven automotive applications
Knowledge of functional safety (ASIL levels), cybersecurity (ISO 21434), and AUTOSAR tooling
