高级嵌入式软件研发工程师

Role Mission We are seeking an accomplished, hands-on R&D Senior Embedded Software Engineer to serve as both a core developer and the technical anchor in Shenzhen for Datalogic’s software initiatives. Beyond acting as a bridge between Italian R&D and local suppliers, this role requires direct, active software development in collaboration with the R&D team and local ODM partners. The role focuses on designing, developing, and debugging embedded software on modern MCU/SoC platforms (such as AllWinner, Rockchip, Sigmastar, and ARM Cortex MCUs) running Embedded Linux or RTOS, with strong integration of camera vision, image sensors, industrial smart cameras, or handheld scanning devices.

Main Responsibilities 1.

Active Software

Co-Development &

• Engineering:
• Actively design, develop, and code embedded software solutions in close collaboration with the Italian R&D team and local ODM partners, going far beyond mere coordination or interfacing. 2.

Embedded Platform

Bring-Up &

• Driver Integration:
• Lead hardware bring-up activities for new projects based on MCU/SoC platforms (like AllWinner, Rockchip, Sigmastar, and ARM Cortex MCUs), developing low-level drivers, bootloaders, and kernel configurations under Embedded Linux or RTOS.
• Architecture, Portability &
• Quality Standards:
• Ensure high application portability across different hardware platforms and product lines (vision systems, fixed scanners, and handheld devices) while adhering to global software quality standards.
• Requirement, Defect &
• Acceptance Management:
• Translate system goals into clear software requirements, manage requirement traceability, track defects, and strictly verify software acceptance criteria using standard development toolchains.
• ODM Collaboration &
• Cross-Border Alignment:
• Guide local ODM software development teams, facilitate technical understanding, and ensure seamless alignment between foreign R&D groups (Italy/Vietnam) and local execution.
• Hands-on Coding &
• Joint Development:
• Write, review, and optimize production-ready embedded code in C/C , participating directly in feature implementation alongside the Italian software group or external ODMs. 7.

Bench

Diagnostics &

• Troubleshooting:
• Troubleshoot complex cross-functional bugs by understanding hardware schematics and signal flows, personally executing functional and performance tests on bench prototypes. 8.

Progress

Verification &

• Feedback:
• Provide rigorous, objective feedback on software status, release readiness, and performance bottlenecks based on direct bench verification.
• HQ Training &
• Onboarding:
• Spend an initial onboarding and training period at Datalogic’s headquarters in Italy to master proprietary software frameworks, coding standards, and architectural patterns.

Requirements: 1.

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline. 2.

Language: Primary Language is Mandarin. Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
