Job summary

Laminar seeks a Senior Embedded Software Engineer in Somerville, MA to own signal processing and firmware for process-aware sensors. This hands-on role sits at the junction of embedded systems, DSP, and sensing, collaborating with Hardware and ML teams to achieve real-time visibility into industrial processes.

You will implement detectors, manage end-to-end signal data, and drive integration from prototype to production with CMOS/ADC expertise and robust testing practices.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience building embedded software for sensors or instrumentation.
• Track record of owning the design, implementation, and success of significant components within a larger system.
• Comfortable defining technical direction, taking ownership, and delivering in a fast-paced product iteration cycle.
• Strong embedded C/C++ on microcontrollers with production Zephyr experience. You are fluent in devicetree, Kconfig, west, and the device driver model.
• You have designed filters, tackled sampling and aliasing, and designed and debugged signal chains.
• Comfortable with analog: ADCs, gain, references, grounding, and noise.
• Testing heavy, pushing for unit tests, hardware mocks, CI, and collecting realistic data.
• Experience with optical and electrical sensing and emitters
• Experience productionizing new sensing methodologies, from prototype to deployed product.

Responsibilities

• Acquisition & Conditioning: Own the sensing signal chain, covering ADC acquisition and timing, filtering, integration and averaging strategy, and calibration.
• Sensor Integration: Integrate new detectors and sensing elements as our sensor lineup evolves. Own integration, supporting board bring-up through production-ready drivers.
• Noise Rejection: Get the real signal out of noisy environments. Tackle challenges like vibration, EMI, thermal drift, and more.
• Firmware development: Develop firmware in Zephyr to interface with new detectors into our existing modular sensor stack
• Calibration: Build the firmware side of calibration, including on-device coefficient storage, third party calibration procedures, and the final provisioning process for our sensors
• Device Connectivity: Ship drivers, OTA, and health monitoring for our sensors to carry data up to our Edge Gateway.
