• Flexible hybrid schedule
• Free chef‑inspired lunch Monday–Thursday
• 15 PTO days + floating holiday
• Competitive benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with matching per the plan terms
• Annual bonus
• Tuition reimbursement
• Career growth in a fast‑growing, mission‑driven company
• Collaborative, purpose‑driven culture

• Lead and contribute to board bring‑up activities for new hardware platforms, including boot loader configuration, memory initialization, and peripheral verification.
• Design, implement, and maintain firmware in C/C++ for bare‑metal microcontrollers and embedded Linux systems.
• Develop, integrate, and optimize device drivers for peripherals such as sensors, radios, storage, displays, and communication interfaces (e.g., I²C, SPI, UART, USB, Ethernet).
• Implement and tune interrupt handlers, ISRs, and low‑level scheduling mechanisms to achieve reliable, deterministic behavior.
• Perform performance tuning and resource optimization (CPU, memory, power consumption) to meet system constraints and battery‑life targets.
• Use low‑level debugging and measurement tools – such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers, and protocol analyzers – to diagnose and resolve hardware/firmware interaction issues.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to review schematics and PCB layouts, ensuring firmware compatibility and identifying potential design risks early.
• Develop and maintain board support packages (BSPs), bootloaders, and OS configuration for embedded Linux and RTOS‑based systems.
• Implement robust error handling, logging, and diagnostic capabilities for field debugging and remote support.
• Create and maintain unit and integration tests for firmware components, leveraging test harnesses, hardware‑in‑the‑loop setups, and automated test frameworks where appropriate.
• Participate fully in Scrum ceremonies including daily standups, sprint planning, refinement, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Work with product managers and cross‑functional partners to break requirements into clear user stories and technical tasks.
• Conduct peer reviews of firmware design and implementation to maintain quality, consistency, and security best practices.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, build pipelines, and documentation related to firmware development.
• Collaborate with software engineering teams on Java‑based device management services and firmware/cloud integration points.

• Significant professional experience developing embedded firmware for production hardware platforms.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems, including memory management, concurrency, and real‑time constraints.
• Hands‑on experience with bare‑metal development and at least one RTOS or embedded Linux distribution (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience with board bring‑up, including boot loader configuration, peripheral initialization, and hardware validation.
• Experience developing and debugging device drivers for common embedded interfaces (e.g., GPIO, I²C, SPI, UART, USB, CAN, Ethernet).
• Practical experience implementing and tuning interrupt handlers and low‑level timing mechanisms (timers, watchdogs, clock configuration).
• Proficiency with low‑level debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers, and serial…
