Sr. Engineer I, Embedded Sottware
For Earth For Life
BASIC PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF POSITION
The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will design, develop, and maintain embedded software for IoTâenabled devices used in Kubota’s connected equipment ecosystem. This role focuses on hardware-software integration, sensor interfacing, powerâoptimized embedded designs, and robust wireless communication methods on resource constrained devices.
The engineer will support development across multiple embedded platforms, contribute to hardware bringâup, implement connectivity protocols for wireless and cloud-connected systems, and collaborate closely with hardware, systems, machine, and cloud engineering teams. This position will help define system architectures, ensure reliable operation under realâworld conditions, and support prototype development and testing throughout the full product lifecycle.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES: This position does the following in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws / regulations and the Company’s policies, procedures, and guidelines:
Design, implement, and maintain firmware in C/C++ for ARMâbased embedded platforms used in IoTâenabled products.
Integrate peripherals using interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, ADC, IMUs, sensors, BLE modules, Wi-Fi modules, and cellular modems.
Utilize CAN communication protocols for integration and communication.
Develop applications using RTOS platforms (Zephyr strongly preferred) with an emphasis on reliability, security, and lowâpower operation.
Implement wireless and cloudâconnected features using BLE, WiâFi, cellular, MQTT, and related technologies.
Support hardware bringâup, board testing, and embedded debugging using common lab tools.
Collaborate with hardware and systems teams on schematics review, embedded architecture, and verification activities.
Work in Linuxâbased development and build environments as needed for embedded and tooling workflows.
Support prototype testing, troubleshooting, and iterative improvements throughout the development lifecycle.
Generate clear and maintainable software documentation.
Perform other related duties as assigned by management.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
7+ years of experience developing embedded software in C/C++ for microcontrollerâbased systems.
Strong experience with ARMâbased MCUs and peripheral interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and ADC.
Experience with RTOSâbased development.
Experience developing with wireless and connectivity technologies such as BLE, MQTT, Wi-Fi and cellular.
Experience with embedded debugging, hardware bringâup, and lab instrumentation.
Familiarity with Linuxâbased development environments.
Familiarity with CAN communication protocols is a plus.
Ability to travel up to 10%.
WORK ENVIRONMENT & PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:
Typical office and lab environment with frequent use of computers and standard lab instrumentation (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters).
Routine handsâon work with prototypes, embedded hardware, and electromechanical systems in shop or field settings.
May work on or around agricultural, turf, or construction machinery during testing, evaluation, or support activities; adherence to all safety procedures and PPE requirements is expected.
Ability to stand, walk, bend, and handle small components or tools for extended periods.
