Austin, TX with hybrid work flexibility

What you'll do

• Own firmware execution on state-pattern FSMs, HAL boundaries, driver integration, board bring-up, and test readiness
• Partner with the current firmware DRI and an architecture advisor to ramp into greater technical ownership
• Bring disciplined engineering practices: design notes/ADRs, thorough code review, strong test coverage, early risk escalation
• Grow into ownership of follow-on product lines as a senior technical contributor

What you bring

• Demonstrated embedded C/C++ delivery on shipped, production hardware
• Hardware bring-up experience: drivers, HAL, board-level debug, low-level integration
• Comfort with state-pattern or event-driven design
• Strong collaboration habits and cross-functional experience with hardware, mechanical, test, and quality teams
• Comfortable operating as a senior IC on a small team

Nice to have: RTOS, bootloaders, firmware update systems, BLE/GPS/cellular connectivity, analog measurement/instrumentation, hardware-in-the-loop testing
