Job Overview
We are looking for a Freelance Embedded Software Developer to join the R&D team on a project basis. This role involves designing and developing embedded firmware using C++, STM32 microcontrollers, and Linux-based platforms for fire detection systems. The ideal candidate will be experienced, detail-oriented, and capable of delivering high-quality software for safety-critical applications.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop embedded firmware in C++ for STM32-based platforms.
* Implement low-level drivers and communication interfaces (e.g., UART, SPI, CAN, I2C).
* Work with Linux-based development tools and environments, including kernel configuration and build systems.
* Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure system integration and performance.
* Conduct rigorous testing and debugging to meet safety and reliability standards.
* Maintain documentation and support the product through the full development cycle.
Required Qualifications
* Solid experience in embedded software development using C++.
* Proficiency with STM32 microcontrollers and embedded peripherals.
* Strong understanding of Linux OS in embedded contexts (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot).
* Comfortable with debugging tools such as GDB, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
* Familiarity with Git and structured development workflows.
* Ability to work independently and meet technical and project deadlines.
Desirable Skills
* Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) like FreeRTOS.
* Knowledge of industry standards for fire detection or safety-critical systems (e.g., EN54).
* Fluency in French or Dutch is a plus.
Contract Details
* Type: Freelance / Contract
* Start Date: ASAP
* Duration: Determined by project scope
* Location: Liège, Belgium (Remote flexibility possible)
