Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

Acroname designs and manufactures world‑class products—from software‑controlled USB hubs to manufacturing test automation equipment. We’re a lean, fast‑moving company that values teamwork, humor, mentorship, and creative problem‑solving. Our team tackles everything from electrical and mechanical design to software development and automation. We’ve been around for decades, deployed and trusted by the biggest names in consumer electronics. Our products enable engineers to solve problems in ways they hadn’t even considered possible, and we’re continuing to expand our offerings in test automation and Audio Video (AV) conferencing solutions.

The Senior Embedded Systems Engineer role requires an experienced engineer who can operate across the whole stack: low‑level C firmware, high‑level C++ and Python applications, API architecture, and documentation.
