Job description

Position Overview:

We are looking for a seasoned Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer with deep Rust expertise to lead the re-architecture and migration of existing firmware into Rust. You will be central to building secure, high-performance firmware targeting ARM Cortex-M and other microcontrollers - covering everything from hardware abstraction layers and board bring‑up to DFM‑ready product launches at scale.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborate on the design and implementation of a secure firmware architecture, including robust and reliable firmware update mechanisms.

Build and integrate secure firmware modules in alignment with industry best practices and established security standards.

Develop HALs and peripheral drivers for hardware not yet covered by existing crates or frameworks.

Port and integrate low‑level communication drivers for Bluetooth, cellular, and other connectivity modules.

Write firmware application code and author new Rust crates for SoCs that lack existing ecosystem support.

Execute board bring‑up workflows using Rust tooling and debugging infrastructure.

Research, evaluate, and select an embedded GUI framework suited to rapid UI prototyping as well as the demands of late‑stage DFM and high‑volume product launch.

Communicate clearly and consistently with the broader team - contributing to design documentation, participating in code reviews, and upholding security and performance standards across the codebase.

Required Qualifications

Proven track record working with high‑performance ARM Cortex‑M microcontrollers and comparable architectures.

Substantial experience with bare‑metal embedded programming across resource‑constrained systems.

Hands‑on background designing and building secure firmware for production hardware.

Strong command of Rust in embedded contexts, including board bring‑up and direct hardware register interaction.

Preferred Qualifications

PhD or MS/ME in EECS or a closely related field.

Working knowledge of the Rust Embassy async embedded framework.

Practical experience with Arm TrustZone security architecture.

Prior work authoring Rust crates targeting unsupported or novel SoCs.

Familiarity with FDA and ISO 13485 compliance requirements for medical device firmware.

Solid grasp of secure firmware update protocols, threat models, and verification strategies.
