Embedded Firmware Engineer - UI & Web Design

Description

We are seeking a motivated Entry‑Level Embedded Engineer (UI & Web Design) to develop user interfaces for Linux‑based embedded systems and companion web pages. This role focuses on building lightweight, efficient, and intuitive UIs that run on devices with limited CPU, memory, and display capabilities. Candidates will design and optimize on‑device graphical interfaces for embedded Linux platforms while also creating clean, responsive web dashboards used for device configuration and monitoring.

Key Responsibilities

UI & Web Design for Embedded Linux

• Design and implement graphical UIs for Linux‑based embedded devices using frameworks such as Qt/QML, LVGL, Flutter embedded, etc.
• Optimize UI rendering, animations, and widget performance for constrained CPU, RAM, and GPU environments.
• Work with Linux display stacks, framebuffers, and lightweight compositors depending on device architecture.
• Ensure reliability and responsiveness of UIs on systems with limited storage, small screens, or low refresh rates.
• Develop clean, responsive web interfaces for configuration dashboards, control panels, or monitoring tools using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks.
• Integrate UI components with device APIs through REST, WebSockets, or lightweight local services.
• Ensure consistent design and smooth interaction flow across on‑device and web UIs.

Required Qualifications

• Solid understanding of graphical UI elements, layout principles, and interaction flows.
• Familiarity with UI toolkits commonly used on embedded Linux systems (Qt/QML, LVGL, Flutter, GTK+, etc.).
• Proficiency with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and basic responsive design patterns.
• Experience with Linux command‑line tools for debugging UI performance or system behaviour.
• Understanding of embedded Linux fundamentals: file systems, processes, permissions, services.
• Ability to design UIs optimized for low RAM, limited CPU, low‑resolution screens, and tight storage budgets.
• Familiarity with cross‑compiling UI frameworks for embedded Linux targets.
• Understanding of UI integration with device APIs using REST, WebSockets, or lightweight local services.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing UIs specifically for low‑power, low‑memory, or real‑time embedded devices.
• Understanding of REST APIs or device‑to‑web interaction models.
• Knowledge of Git or similar version control tools.

Soft Skills

• Strong interest in UI and web design for embedded Linux systems.
• Analytical mindset with good debugging and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with UX, firmware, and Linux platform teams.
• Clear communication and documentation skills.
