Senior Firmware Software Engineer

Senior Firmware Engineer

Are you a Senior Firmware Engineer who likes to craft, enhance, and redefine embedded software? If you thrive on innovation and want to see your work directly impact industry-leading solutions, we want to hear from you!

As a Senior Firmware Engineer with Trimble's CCFS division, you will bridge the worlds of software development and electronic hardware development. You will be a key contributor to our product architecture, bringing a dedicated embedded systems perspective to the team. Your responsibilities will span the full product lifecycle, from initial hardware bring-up and core firmware implementation to deploying robust production-ready images. You will:

1. Work closely with our team of hardware and firmware engineers in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
2. Design, develop, and implement firmware for a range of hardware products.
3. Work at the hardware level, performing bring-up, debugging, and performance optimization.
4. Investigate and resolve complex technical issues in both research and production environments.
5. Translate product requirements (MRD / PRD) into well-documented firmware designs.
6. Collaborate with other Firmware Engineers, Backend Software Engineers and architects to plan, design, develop, test, and maintain embedded applications.
7. Designing, developing, unit testing, bug fixing embedded firmware applications that are deployed on Telematics boxes.
8. Analyze and Reverse engineer vehicle and machine CAN data.
9. Work closely with the CTCT division (a joint venture between Trimble and Caterpillar).

Along with your excellent problem-solving skills and ability to recognize improvement opportunities, you will have excellent analytical skills, verbal communication, and technical writing competency. You will be a self-motivated team player who is schedule-conscious when performing multiple tasks. To be a successful applicant you will have:

• A relevant tertiary qualification in Software Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Demonstrable experience in embedded systems development, ideally with Linux (embedded, OS, and user application development).
• Professional experience with C, C++, and Python.
• Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up and debugging.
• Familiarity with tools for creating embedded Linux distributions (e.g. Yocto Project).
• Experience with version control systems (e.g. Git), issue tracking tools (e.g. Jira), and Continuous Integration (CI) practices.

Our Civil Construction Field Systems division provides a wide range of hardware and software solutions to the construction industry. We also work closely with the CTCT division (a joint venture between Trimble and Caterpillar), creating world-leading grade control and automation products for customers in the paving, construction, landfill, and mining industries. Our products make operators of heavy equipment more productive, whether they're working on a landscaping job in someone's backyard, leveling a section for a house, building a subdivision or highway, or operating an 800-tonne excavator on a mine site.

Central to our success is accurate positioning. We utilize the latest in technology from our in house developed positioning technologies utilizing IMU, GNSS, Laser, Optical and Sonic sensors, and some tech we can't even talk about yet, to empower machine operators with clear and accurate guidance. In many cases we automate functions of the machine, so the operator can concentrate on other tasks.

Trimble's Inclusiveness Commitment

We believe in celebrating our differences. That is why our diversity is our strength. To us, that means actively participating in opportunities to be inclusive. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion have guided our current success while also moving our desire to improve. We actively seek to add members to our community who represent our customers and the places we live and work.

We have programs in place to make sure our people are seen, heard, and welcomed and most importantly that they know they belong, no matter who they are or where they are coming from.
