Are you a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer with deep expertise in Embedded C/C++ and real-time operating systems like QNX looking for a highly technical role where you can help scale a growing R&D site?

This is an opportunity to join a well‑established, global engineering company that designs and manufactures high‑performance automation, protection, and monitoring systems. You will be joining their newly established, high‑growth Houston facility, offering you a unique chance to make a massive impact on a growing site while backed by the stability of a global market leader.

In this role, you will lead the design, development, and optimization of real‑time embedded software for complex, hardware‑integrated systems. Working closely with product management and cross‑functional engineering teams, you will evaluate technical feasibility, define architecture patterns, and drive coding standards across the complete firmware lifecycle.

This role would suit an experienced engineer with a strong track record in technical leadership and hands‑on development who enjoys solving complex debugging challenges and wants to be a foundational part of a growing US office.

• Lead the design, development, and optimization of real‑time embedded software and device drivers.

• Hands‑on experience with memory interfaces (NAND, NOR, DDR4) and communication protocols (UART, I2C, SPI, Ethernet).
• Experienced with IDEs, debug emulators, multithreading, and version control tools like Git or SVN.
• US Citizen or Green Card holder.
