Embedded Firmware Engineer – Low-Power IoT Devices

Design and debug ultra-reliable firmware for microcontrollers powering tomorrow’s IoT, automotive and medical products.

Responsibilities

- Craft clean, deterministic C/C++ code for ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V MCUs.  

- Build and refine board support packages that bring brand-new hardware to life.  

- Implement peripheral drivers for I2C, SPI, UART, CAN and USB—then stress-test them with oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.  

- Shape robust bootloaders and secure OTA update flows that keep field systems evergreen.  

- Profile and tune code paths to squeeze every microwatt from battery-driven designs.  

- Trace hard real-time bugs with GDB, J-Link, JTAG and hardware trace ports; document root causes concisely.  

- Collaborate with electrical, mechanical and test engineers—often remotely—to integrate firmware, PCB layouts and enclosure constraints into one seamless product.  

- Guard code quality through Git workflows, peer reviews and CI pipelines.  

Requirements

- You wield 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Firmware Engineer or Embedded Firmware Engineer.  

- Deep command of Embedded C/C++, assembly snippets and CMSIS libraries.  

- Proven record of shipping commercial products that run under RTOS (FreeRTOS or Zephyr) with sub-millisecond deadlines.  

- Confident in hardware bring-up, schematic reading and the black-art of signal probing.  

- Familiar with low-power design techniques: sleep states, dynamic clock gating, adaptive duty cycling.  

- Comfortable integrating BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE-M or CAN stacks and troubleshooting RF coexistence issues.  

- Adept in static analysis, MISRA compliance, unit testing and regression automation.  

- Clear, engaging communication skills that bridge firmware and non-firmware teams.  

- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar discipline.  

Pluses That Make You Stand Out

- Experience with medical IEC-62304 or automotive ISO-26262 lifecycle standards.  

- Rust or MicroPython prototyping know-how.  

- Hands-on with Matter, Thread or Zigbee protocol layers.  

- Prior success leading dispersed engineering squads across multiple time zones.  

About Us

We are a U.S. product-development studio obsessed with reliability. Our multidisciplinary crew—mechanical, electrical, industrial design—thrives on complex challenges and rapid iterations. No politics, just engineered results. You will influence architecture decisions, mentor junior colleagues, and see your code travelling the globe inside mission-critical devices.

Why This Role Matters

Firmware is the heartbeat of every connected system. When you optimise flash footprints, the bill of materials shrinks. When you shave current draw, batteries last a year longer. When you harden a bootloader, hospitals and factories avoid downtime. Your craftsmanship will echo in thousands of deployed units… and your next innovation could redefine an industry.
