Sr Embedded Software Engineer (Board Bring Up)

Capgemini is hiring a Senior DSP & Audio Embedded Software Engineer to support bring-up, integration, and validation of the DSP and Safety Processor subsystems on the iRDK platform. This role focuses on enabling real-time audio functionality while driving performance validation and safety compliance across a production-minded embedded development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Support bring-up and integration activities for the DSP subsystem and Safety Processor on the iRDK platform.
• Own the real-time audio pipeline, including codec integration, Audio HAL enablement, latency characterization, and performance validation.
• Integrate and validate safety-critical subsystems, including lockstep processing, safety monitors, and fault detection mechanisms.
• Collaborate with DSP firmware teams, tools support teams, and technology partners to resolve technical challenges.
• Debug and resolve hardware/software integration issues that impact audio, DSP, and safety subsystem performance.
• Validate real-time system performance and audio quality against Ok2Book and program acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate with hardware, software, systems, and validation teams to support platform integration and product readiness.
• Participate in board bring-up, subsystem enablement, and system-level debugging efforts.
• Document the status and readiness of DSP, audio, and safety subsystems for program reviews and milestones.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of embedded software development and validation processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of embedded software development experience, including 5+ years working with TI DSP platforms (C7xxx, C66x, or equivalent).
• Strong expertise in real-time operating systems such as TI SYS/BIOS, FreeRTOS, or equivalent RTOS environments.
• Hands-on experience with audio subsystem bring-up, including ALSA, Audio HAL, codec integration, I2S, and SoundWire technologies.
• Experience with safety-critical embedded systems, including lockstep architectures, safety self-test libraries, and FTTI analysis/modeling.
• Strong C/C++ development skills in both bare-metal and RTOS-based environments.
• Experience with TI Code Composer Studio and DSP development toolchains.
• Proven hardware debugging expertise using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and related diagnostic tools.
• Experience with board bring-up, subsystem enablement, and hardware/software integration activities.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills in complex embedded environments.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
