Staff or Senior Firmware Engineer

Responsibilities

• Shape the hardware, not just the code that runs on it. Sit in reviews with our electrical engineers and argue for the right SoC, amount of flash/RAM, and combination of sensors, then prove those choices out on prototypes that reach real customers in months, not years.
• Be the first person to make a new board do anything at all. Bring up new platforms and prototypes from virgin silicon: configure I/O, get SPI, I2C, UART, BLE talking, debug system init, validate the design, and turn unproven hardware into a product.
• Own the layers everything else depends on. Peripheral drivers, secure bootloaders, device firmware updates, as well as the core management layers like power and connectivity, that determine whether a device in the field quietly recovers on its own or becomes an RMA.
• Chase every microamp.
• Design protocols and hardware management for battery-powered sensors and gateways where the gap between good firmware and great firmware is measured in years of device life.
• Work with the people who ship the whole product.
• Partner with product, full-stack, mobile and quality engineers so the data your firmware produces arrives intact and useful as it lands in the hands of dispatchers, fleet managers, and technicians who depend on it every shift.
• Raise the bar for the engineers around you. At the Senior level, you are a force multiplier for your team. Through thoughtful designs, rigorous reviews, hands-on mentorship, and sound technical judgment, you help other engineers deliver better work. You lead by example, strengthen engineering practices, and connect…
• What you bring
• 8+ years building firmware for resource-constrained systems, You have delivered reliable firmware where memory, processing power, energy and timing are all scarce, and you know how to measure, optimize and make deliberate trade-offs between them.
