Lead Embedded Engineer

Ajax Systems is a full-cycle company working from idea generation and R&D to mass production and sales. We do everything: we produce physical devices (the system includes many different sensors and hubs), write firmware for them, develop the server part and release mobile applications. The whole team is in one office in Kyiv, all technical and product decisions are made locally.

Not so long ago we released a new version of our Hub OS and named it Malevich, now we are looking for Lead Embedded Engineer who is ready to make our system better with us. For us never could be enough: there are still a lot of new functionality, sensors, features to make our system even cooler.

Required skills:
 

• Proven experience in developing embedded real-time applications for commercial products;
• Experience with different MCUs: STM32, Realtek;
• Excellent knowledge of embedded coding techniques, interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, RS485), and subsystems;
• Knowledge of working with HW tools: embedded engineers use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters for debugging;
• Strong skills in various build systems: Make, Cmake;
• Excellent knowledge of C programming language;
• Experience in debugging and validating complex embedded systems and protocol stack;
• Understanding of operating systems: embedded developers usually need experience in programming in embedded operating systems;
