Embedded Software Engineer

2+ yrs exp · Full-time · onsite
HireSetu listing reference d04eaf — confirm requirements below, then apply on the employer site.
Quick answer: An onsite role in Vadodara writing reusable low-level firmware that other Hilti product teams build on. The real bar is two years of professional embedded work, and testing carries as much weight as coding.
From Hilti's job posting
Embedded Software Engineer
As a Junior Embedded Software Developer in the embedded platform (base libraries) team, you
contribute to reusable low-level firmware components used across Hilti power tools and batteries.
You collaborate with stakeholders and the software architect to define requirements, design
maintainable solutions, implement them in C/C++, and ensure quality through automated tests and
hands-on debugging on target hardware.
What You’ll Bring
- Basics of Git and disciplined code reviews
- Understanding of MCU basics (memory, interrupts, peripherals)
- Interest in testing and code quality (static analysis/coding rules)
- Any experience with CI, unit test frameworks, or HIL/SIL exposure
- Knowledge in embedded C (and/or C++) and embedded systems
- Master's or bachelor's degree in electronics, mechatronics, software engineering, computer science or relevant disciplines
- Minimum 2 years of professional working experience

HireSetu's note
Two years is the real bar
Junior in the description describes the team's seniority mix, a base libraries group, not the experience Hilti is asking for. The minimum is two years of professional work, so a fresher with strong college projects gets filtered before anyone reads the code. Two years of firmware anywhere close, in appliances, automotive, industrial or consumer devices, puts you in range.
Base libraries means components the product teams consume. A change here lands in several tools at once, so the Git discipline and code reviews in the listing are the point. Expect to read a lot of existing firmware before you write any of your own. Ask how the Vadodara team splits work between new components and maintaining what already ships.
The test work is what to lead with
Plenty of embedded CVs list microcontrollers and the peripherals driven. Add the quality loop: unit test frameworks, static analysis, continuous integration, HIL or SIL setups. Put that near the top even if it is a small slice of your current job, and be able to describe the harness you built and what it caught.
C and C++ on an MCU is the entry ticket, with memory, interrupts and peripheral setup being the parts that matter daily. Have one story about a bug that only appeared on target hardware, since debugging there is named in the description. If you are short on CI experience, a small GitHub project with automated tests running on every push covers the gap better than a certificate.
