Job description

 

We are seeking a motivated experienced Embedded Engineer (GUI & Web Design) to develop user interfaces for Linux‑based embedded systems and companion web pages. This role focuses on building lightweight, efficient, and intuitive GUIs that run on devices with limited CPU, memory, and display capabilities. The candidate 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 processor and memory constrained embedded devices using frameworks such as LVGL (preferred), Qt/QML. Flutter embedded, etc.
  • Optimize UI rendering, animations, and widget performance for limited CPU & RAM 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:

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 10 years of experience.
  • Solid understanding of graphical UI elements, layout principles, and interaction flows.
  • Strong hands-on knowledge of UI toolkits commonly used on embedded Linux systems such as LVGL (preferred), Qt/QML, Flutter, GTK+, etc.
  • Proficiency with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
  • 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.
  • Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and to reduce costs. The successful candidate must be able to identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs 

 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Application development using AI tools such as Co-Pilot, Claude, etc.
  • Experience designing UIs specifically for low-power, low-memory, or real-time embedded devices.
  • Understanding of REST APIs or device-to-web interaction models.
  • Exposure to Python, shell scripting, or automation tools.
  • 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 hardware teams.
  • Clear communication and documentation skills.
