Job description
Description
We are hiring a Staff Firmware Engineer to add senior embedded firmware capacity and deep technical contribution on a small R&D team as we deliver a flagship next-generation IoT product and prepare follow‑on platform work. This is an individual contributor role. There is no expectation to manage people or lead a firmware team. This person will:
Support current‑program firmware execution: state‑pattern FSM, HAL boundaries, driver integration, prototype board bring‑up, and firmware‑test readiness.
Partner with the existing senior firmware engineer (program DRI) on near‑term delivery; the current DRI remains accountable while this person ramps.
Work with a senior firmware architecture advisor on platform standards, architecture review, release hygiene, and cross‑team consistency.
Grow into broader firmware ownership on follow‑on product lines once the current foundation is stable — as a senior IC, not as a people manager.
Bring disciplined embedded execution: Jira stories, design notes / ADRs, code reviews, tests, and early escalation.
Requirements
Embedded C/C++, HW‑adjacent debug, shipped product, test discipline, collaboration
State‑pattern FSM, hierarchical state machines, event‑driven architecture, embedded UI/menu systems
HAL / driver architecture for MCU‑based products
RTOS, watchdogs, bootloaders, firmware update, low‑power, BLE/USB/serial
Radio / connectivity (big plus): GPS/GNSS, BLE, cellular modem, satellite modem, RF module integration
Analog measurement (big plus): ADC, calibration, noise/drift, accuracy, data acquisition, DVM/instrumentation
Safety/reliability: logging, fault handling, recovery, release hygiene
Test automation, hardware‑in‑loop, unit tests, CI for embedded
Test & measurement, industrial instrumentation, power electronics, field equipment
Peer mentoring; improving existing codebases without destabilizing delivery
