Who are we?:
Syntronic is a global leader in design and development, specializing in electronics, electro-mechanics, and software. We’re not just a company; we’re a community of innovators. Our teams work on projects that define the future—from creating state-of-the-art communication systems and autonomous vehicles to advancing IoT solutions that revolutionize everyday life. At Syntronic, your work will make a real difference.

What we're looking for:
We are seeking individuals who want to:
  • Collaborate with top-tier clients on transformative, cutting-edge projects.
  • Engage with and learn from industry leaders
  • Innovate from concept to completion, ensuring high standards.
  • Gain international experience on global projects.
  • Thrive in an entrepreneurial environment that supports new ideas.
  • Explore multiple sectors like telecommunications, automotive, healthcare, and industrial automation.

We are looking for an Embedded BSP Developer to support the design, development, integration, and maintenance of low-level software for ARM-based automotive platforms. This role focuses on board support packages, bootloaders, secure boot, Linux/QNX-based embedded systems, kernel drivers, board bring-up, and production-level troubleshooting. The ideal candidate has strong low-level C experience, understands how software interacts with hardware, and can work across the bootchain, operating system, device drivers, and hardware interfaces to deliver reliable embedded software for production programs.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, integrate, and maintain BSP software for ARM-based embedded platforms.
  • Develop and debug low-level software components including bootloaders, secure boot features, Linux kernel components, QNX platform components, device trees, and board-level drivers.
  • Support board bring-up activities, including boot debugging, hardware interface validation, driver integration, and low-level system troubleshooting.
  • Develop and troubleshoot drivers for interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN/CAN FD, Ethernet, USB, GPIO, eMMC, NAND, NOR, PMIC, and other platform peripherals.
  • Work with embedded Linux build systems and platform tooling, including Yocto, OpenEmbedded, BitBake, Git-based workflows, Jenkins, Python, and shell scripting.
  • Support secure boot and embedded security features, including image signing, hardware root of trust, fuse provisioning, key management, and update reliability.
  • Investigate complex software and hardware issues using boot logs, kernel logs, crash dumps, JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other debugging tools.
  • Create and maintain software design documentation, participate in design reviews, and support product verification, validation, and release activities.
  • Collaborate with hardware, software, systems, test, manufacturing, and production teams to resolve issues and deliver reliable embedded software across product generations.

What you'll need to get the job done

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • 8+ years of professional embedded software development experience, including BSP and bootloader development for Linux, QNX, or similar embedded operating systems.
  • Strong low-level C programming and debugging experience, with exposure to assembly language.
  • Experience with ARM-based processors or SoCs, including ARM A-series, M-series, or similar embedded processor families.
  • Hands-on experience completing board bring-up activities, including bootchain debugging, driver integration, and hardware/software validation.
  • Experience developing or debugging device drivers, device trees, platform drivers, interrupt handling, memory mapping, file systems, power management, and hardware interfaces.
  • Ability to read electronic schematics and use debugging tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and low-level software diagnostics.
  • Experience with embedded Linux build systems such as Yocto, OpenEmbedded, or BitBake.
  • Familiarity with version control and software delivery workflows using Git, GitHub, Jenkins, repo manifests, pull requests, or similar tools.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills, with the ability to identify root cause and resolve issues across software, hardware, and system boundaries.

What will make us REALLY love you

  • Experience designing or implementing custom bootloaders, secure boot flows, A/B boot mechanisms, OTA update reliability, or production software update systems.
  • Familiarity with embedded security concepts such as SHE, HSM, TrustZone, hardware root of trust, image signing, key provisioning, and cryptographic algorithms such as RSA, AES, SHA, or DES.
  • Experience with automotive embedded platforms, telematics control units, infotainment systems, connectivity modules, or other vehicle-connected software.
  • Experience with automotive Ethernet, including 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, TC10 sleep/wake, Ethernet PHY integration, or related diagnostics.
  • Experience with eMMC, NAND, NOR memory controllers, flash management, partition table design, dm-verity, SELinux, Fastboot, UEFI/EDK2, or similar platform technologies.
  • Awareness of automotive software standards or practices such as ISO 26262, AUTOSAR concepts, or production release discipline.
  • Experience debugging production or field issues using pstore, minidumps, kernel logs, crash dumps, field diagnostics, or manufacturing test tools.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools to support code review, refactoring, driver integration, security analysis, test generation, or embedded software troubleshooting.
