• Lead technical decision-making for core system architecture, guiding features from early-stage concepts through commercial launch.
• Establish and scale development standards and best practices for an expanding engineering organization.
• Demonstrate deep expertise in C/C++ for hardware-constrained environments.
• Write efficient code directly on microcontrollers without an operating system (no-OS/RTOS environments).
• Configure diverse hardware interfaces to achieve microsecond-accurate event synchronization and scheduling.
• Optimize low-level software for resource-constrained systems, balancing memory, power, and performance trade-offs.
• Document system architecture and technical specifications to build a comprehensive internal engineering repository.
• Develop low-level software across a range of hardware platforms to support both internal testing tools and client-facing hardware.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (including cloud, application software, and product) to deliver seamless end-to-end device integration.

What skills/experience do you need?

• ARM microcontrollers must have
