Embedded Engineer

About Job Profile

Salary: As per industry standards (Commensurate with experience)

Location: Research & Innovation Park, IIT Delhi Campus

Description: Cluix is growing! We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Embedded Engineer to join our core engineering team. In this role, you will lead the architecture, development, and optimization of firmware and hardware-software interfaces for our next-generation water quality sensing instrumentation and IoT devices.

About The Role

• Architect, develop, and optimize high-reliability, low-power firmware for next-generation embedded systems and sensor instrumentation.
• Design, implement, and maintain robust hardware-software interfaces, peripheral drivers, and board support packages (BSPs).
• Integrate and optimize Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS like FreeRTOS / Zephyr) and bare-metal architectures.
• Lead board bring-up, validation, and diagnose complex system-level timing, memory, and hardware-firmware integration issues.
• Implement and optimize communication and telemetry protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, BLE, Cellular IoT / Wi-Fi).
• Conduct power profiling and optimization to maximize battery life for field-deployed portable devices.
• Establish firmware versioning, testing frameworks, and continuous integration (CI) workflows.
• Mentor junior engineers, conduct peer code reviews, and collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, mechanical, chemical R&D, and product teams.
• Skill(s) required
• High proficiency in C, C++, assembly language, and embedded systems development.
• Extensive experience programming microcontrollers and processors (ARM Cortex-M/A series, STM32, ESP32, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with RTOS architecture, task scheduling, inter-process communication, and memory management.
• Strong understanding of hardware communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB).
• Ability to read schematics, evaluate PCB design specifications, and work closely with hardware design engineers.
• Familiarity with version control (Git), firmware build toolchains, and CI/CD pipelines.

Eligibility

• B.Tech / B.E. / M.Tech in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electronics & Communication (ECE), Computer Science (CSE), or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of hands-on professional experience in embedded systems and firmware development.
• Proven track record of taking embedded products from design and prototyping to mass production.

What we are looking for

• Strong ownership mindset with an eagerness to solve complex deep-tech engineering challenges.
• Rigorous, analytical problem-solving and root-cause troubleshooting skills.
• Passion for building reliable, real-world hardware products with direct societal and environmental impact.
• Strong communication skills and collaborative leadership to guide junior team members.

What we Offer

• Competitive compensation aligned with top industry benchmarks
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge deep-tech and environmental sensing technologies
• Access to world-class R&D infrastructure at IIT Delhi Research & Innovation Park
• High-impact role with accelerated career growth within a rapidly scaling team
