Your Title: Firmware Engineer

Job Location: Christchurch, NZ

Our Department: Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies (CTCT)

Would you be excited about a role where you can design the core firmware for displays being used to transform the earth-moving industry globally?

What You Will Do

As a Firmware Engineer on the Hardware Solutions Team in CTCT, you will make an essential contribution to hardware product design and manufacture. You will undertake core firmware development primarily in the "displays" product category, working with internal team members and contracted parties to ensure our FW goals are achieved. Your initial focus will be embedded Android OS development for a proprietary device developed through a partner organization.

You will work as part of a multi-disciplined team responsible for on-machine construction machine guidance system components. Along with working on devices containing computing (including SoC) capacity you will incorporate sensing and communications technologies such as GNSS, IMUs, Bluetooth, WLAN, and other radio technologies. As a firmware engineer, you will bridge the worlds of software development and electronic hardware development. Working within the team you will design and implement the core firmware for the product, from bring-up through to production.

This Will Involve

  1. The conversion of market requirements into engineering specifications and technical solutions including firmware architecture for CTCT hardware products
  2. Taking accountability for the delivery and maintenance of embedded firmware for display devices but contributing to firmware work on compute boxes and rugged radios, predominantly using Android, but knowledge of Linux advantageous
  3. Being comfortable working at the hardware level, performing bring-up & debug
  4. Ensuring that the development process is followed; development code is maintained in the source control system (GIT), defects and change requests are logged in the issue tracking system (JIRA)
  5. Implementing quality design and being proactive at identifying & diagnosing issues in the code
  6. Contributing to automated testing (unit tests and functional tests)
  7. Working with the validation and verification team for in-field product testing
  8. Documenting technical solutions and development plans
  9. Identifying product risk and taking responsibility for risk mitigation
  10. Providing technical input to the team on component validation testing
  11. Being the key technical contact for display product FW, managing communication with stakeholders.
What Skills & Experience You Should Bring

As well as possessing excellent attention to detail, excellent verbal and written communication, a strong commitment to designing and building in quality, and the ability to work as part of a team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment as a proven team player, you should bring the following:

  1. Tertiary-level software engineering/computer science degree or equivalent
  2. Demonstrated experience in embedded firmware development in C, C++, and embedded Linux
  3. Hardware-level bring-up experience
  4. Advanced troubleshooting and debugging skills
  5. Familiarity with Git, Kanban, Jira & CI (continuous integration)
  6. Nice to haves:
  • Experience in embedded Android devices with Java and Kotlin
  • Experience with embedded RTOS
  • Experience with vehicle network technologies (CAN, J1939, BroadR-Reach)
  • Python scripting and/or test automation.
