  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in firmware development for embedded systems, with a strong understanding of electronics and hardware-software interactions.
  • Experience developing consumer electronics systems at large scale.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems, with experience developing for bare-metal, RTOS, or Linux-based systems.
  • Experience with Zephyr RTOS, Linux kernel internals, and real-time system design.
  • Familiarity with standard industry tools: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, UART, SPI, I2C, PCIe, etc.
  • Strong debugging skills in both hardware and software domains, including use of low-level debuggers and trace tools.
  • Hands-on experience with microcontrollers, SoCs, and custom board bring-up.
  • Experience developing manufacturing test software, including boundary scan, functional test, and system diagnostics.
  • Ability to work independently on complex projects and take full ownership of deliverables

  • Design and implement low-level drivers and board support packages (BSPs) for microcontrollers, sensors and SoCs.
  • Drive hardware/firmware integration and debug issues across electrical and software boundaries.
  • Participate in design reviews and provide input on embedded system architectures and testability.
  • Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams on concept integration into product roadmap with a focus on stability, power, and performance.
  • Evaluate, debug, and validate new hardware designs, leveraging oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab tools.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, software, product) to optimize system performance.
  • Author and maintain documentation for firmware architecture, testing procedures, and validation results.
  • Coordinate with software engineers to validate system-level behavior and address hardware/software integration issues.
  • Support production system debug as needed.
  • Mentor junior engineers in development best practices.
