Job description

Make an impact. Build technology that goes deep — literally. 2G Engineering designs and manufactures advanced subsea systems including embedded controllers, motor drives, power supplies, and sensors. We are looking for a Senior Embedded Systems Programmer to take a lead role in embedded firmware development and product architecture, driving innovation, technical strategy, and cross‑functional collaboration.

If you’re excited by complex systems, hands‑on engineering, and products that push technical limits, this is the place to be.

What You’ll Do

• Lead firmware development efforts in C, including architecture and implementation strategy
• Mentor engineers and guide debugging, root‑cause analysis, and corrective actions
• Support schematic capture and PCB design direction (hands‑on experience strongly preferred)
• Collaborate with internal teams and customers to define requirements and assess risks
• Drive design efforts including calculations, component selection, and cost estimation
• Produce and review reports, documentation, and engineering deliverables
• Develop test strategies, regression methods, and system‑level validation plans
• Support and evolve existing product lines through updates and change control
• Lead data collection, analysis, and continuous improvement efforts
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineering staff

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related field
• 5+ years embedded programming experience (C, microcontrollers, microprocessors)
• Strong understanding of microprocessors, ICs, lab diagnostics, and hardware/software fundamentals
• Experience supporting or owning a product line throughout its lifecycle
• Demonstrated leadership in technical tasks, features, or project components

Bonus Strengths

• Proficiency in Python and UNIX‑based systems
• Experience with RTOS
• Motor drive or electromechanical control experience
• Ability to forecast engineering effort, risks, and resource needs
• Exceptional troubleshooting, system analysis, and documentation skills

Who You Are

• A technical leader who enjoys solving complex problems
• A confident communicator who thrives in collaboration
• Someone who can balance hands‑on engineering with system‑level strategy

Why 2G Engineering?

This role offers the opportunity to influence product architecture, mentor future engineers, and help shape engineering standards for advanced subsea technologies. You’ll work in a collaborative environment where innovation, ownership, and impact are part of the everyday experience.
