Role Overview

A global technology company focused on connected infrastructure and resource optimization is seeking a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to help develop the next generation of intelligent, IoT-enabled devices. This role offers the opportunity to work on products that drive sustainability, improve operational efficiency, and connect edge devices with cloud-based platforms.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on embedded systems engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, collaborating across hardware and software disciplines, and delivering high-quality firmware for products deployed at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, test, and maintain embedded firmware for connected hardware products.
• Write clean, scalable, and well‑documented embedded C++ code for microcontroller and SoC‑based systems.
• Participate in architecture discussions, design reviews, and technical planning activities.
• Perform board bring‑up, hardware validation, debugging, and system‑level troubleshooting.
• Develop and execute firmware verification and validation strategies.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, cloud, DevOps, manufacturing, quality, automation, and product teams.
• Support product launches through testing, field validation, and production readiness activities.
• Maintain thorough technical documentation, project records, and development artifacts.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes, tools, and development practices.

Education & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5+ years of embedded firmware development experience.
• Strong experience developing firmware in Embedded C++.
• Experience with microcontrollers (MCUs) and/or System‑on‑Chip (SoC) platforms.
• Proficiency with embedded development and debugging tools including compilers, JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and related instrumentation.
• Experience with board bring‑up, bootloaders, low‑level hardware interaction, and OTA update systems.
• Experience working with RTOS environments such as FreeRTOS, ThreadX, or similar.
• Familiarity with development toolchains including Git, Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines, Jira, CMake, VS Code, IAR, or comparable tools.
• Understanding of Agile development methodologies and engineering best practices.
• Ability to read and interpret digital and analog schematics.
• Experience developing multi‑threaded and multi‑tasking embedded applications.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem‑solving skills.
• Comfortable operating in fast‑paced environments with evolving priorities.

Preferred Experience:

• Embedded cybersecurity and device security expertise including encryption, secure boot, authentication, certificates, HSMs, and privacy‑focused design.
• Experience developing consumer, commercial, or industrial IoT products.
• Experience integrating embedded devices with cloud platforms and connected infrastructure.
• Experience with wireless communication technologies such as BLE, Wi‑Fi, LoRa, LoRaWAN, Matter, Cellular, or similar protocols.
• Experience implementing automated testing frameworks and CI/CD workflows.
• Familiarity with manufacturing test systems and production engineering processes.
• Experience developing battery‑powered or low‑power embedded devices.
• Experience leveraging AI‑assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot or similar platforms.

Compensation

• Base Salary: $150,000 - $170,000 DOE
• Annual Performance Bonus: 5% - 10%
• Compensation commensurate with experience and qualifications

Why Us:

• Opportunity to develop products that support sustainability and efficient resource management.
• Work on modern connected‑device and IoT technologies spanning edge, cloud, and embedded systems.
• Join a highly collaborative engineering environment with strong cross‑functional partnership.
• Influence the architecture and technical direction of next‑generation products.
