We are a devoted and capable team that includes world-renowned engineers and distinguished business leaders united by a common goal - To build the future of predictive maintenance. As we enter the next phase of rapid growth, we are seeking people to help lead the journey.

Asset Watch helps industrial teamsmonitorthe health of critical equipment through connected hardware, sensing, analytics, and condition-monitoring workflows. Our products include battery-powered sensors, edge hubs and gateways, wireless communication systems, wired networking interfaces, and factory/test infrastructure designed for demanding industrial environments.

As a Firmware Engineer on theAsset Watch Hardware  Team, you will develop production embedded firmware while contributing directly to electrical design, hardware bring-up, validation, and product launch. This is a hands-on, multi-functional role for an engineer who can move comfortably from code to the bench, through network and gateway diagnostics, and into manufacturing and field support.

• Develop and maintain production embedded firmware in C/C++ for sensors, hubs, gateways, and related connected hardware.
• Design and debug features for device communication, scheduling, data collection, configuration, diagnostics, logging, and OTA/FOTA updates.
• Develop and troubleshoot connectivity across BLE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and cellular paths, including TCP/IP, DNS/DHCP, TLS, MQTT/HTTP, provisioning, reconnection, signal quality, and network diagnostics.
• Support embedded Linux and/or RTOS components, peripheral interfaces, and edge services that connect device firmware and hardware to backend/cloud systems.

• Contribute to schematic and PCB reviews, component selection , power and interface design, design-for-manufacture, and design-for-test decisions.
• Bring up and debug new hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power profilers, debug probes, serial logs, packet captures, and other lab tools.
• Develop and execute test plans; support fixtures, regression and hardware-in-the-loop testing, failure analysis, and environmental or compliance pre-screening.

• Support the full product lifecycle from prototype and EVT/DVT/PVT through manufacturing test, production ramp, launch readiness, field deployment, and sustaining engineering.
• Own work across firmware, hardware, validation, documentation, manufacturing support, and field issue resolution while collaborating with electrical, mechanical, test, cloud, product, cybersecurity, support, and contract-manufacturing partners.
• Maintain disciplined release practices, including Git workflows, pull requests, code reviews, repeatable builds, versioning, change logs, release notes, and controlled deployment artifacts.
• Create clear technical specifications, interface references, test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and launch documentation that help teams move faster and reduce risk.

• Must be based in the Columbus, Ohio area and able to work from the office at least three days each week.
• Demonstrated experience developing, debugging, releasing, and sustaining production embedded firmware in C or C++.
• Practical electrical engineering experience, including reading schematics, reviewing PCB layouts, supporting board bring-up, and troubleshooting analog, digital, power, and embedded interface issues.
• Experience with network-connected devices, edge…
