Job Title: Sr. Embedded Firmware Engineer (Rust and

C)

Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Sr. embedded firmware engineer with a strong background in Rust to help re-design and port existing firmware into Rust. This role focuses on designing for manufacture and scale secure, high-performance firmware for ARM Cortex‑M and other microcontrollers while implementing hardware abstraction layers and ensuring robust board bring‑up for novel platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

• Firmware Architecture & Security:

  • Assist in designing and implementing a secure firmware architecture with robust secure update mechanisms.

  • Develop and integrate secure firmware modules leveraging best practices and industry standards.

• Hardware Abstraction and Peripheral Integration:

  • Implement HALs and drivers for unsupported peripherals and features.

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

• System Bring-Up & Application Code:

  • Contribute to board bring‑up tasks using Rust.

  • Develop firmware application code and new Rust crates for unsupported SoCs as needed.

• Rapid Prototyping & UI Framework Selection and bring products to market:

  • Evaluate and select an embedded GUI framework that supports rapid prototyping for UI needs. As well as late stage development to DFM and transition product to scale and final product launch

• Collaboration & Documentation:

• Preferred:

  • Familiarity with the Rust embassy framework.

  • Hands‑on experience with Arm Trust Zone.

  • Experience in writing Rust crates for unsupported SoCs.

  • Solid understanding of secure firmware update protocols and architecture.

  Experience with medical device compliance and documentation as per FDA and ISO
  13485 standards

  PhD or MS / ME in EECS

What We Offer:

• An innovative work environment tackling challenging embedded systems projects.

• Opportunities for professional growth in secure firmware development and advanced embedded technologies.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
