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.
  • Work on products deployed in real‑world environments at meaningful scale.
  • Strong opportunity for technical growth, mentorship, and career advancement.

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full‑time basis now and in the future. This position does not offer sponsorship.
