• Develop and optimize embedded firmware and FPGA logic for high‑speed, precision camera‑based systems in a real‑time environment.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers, system architects, and application developers to integrate firmware with other systems.
• Engage in architectural and design discussions on firmware and FPGA solutions for next‑generation products.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, providing technical leadership and support in firmware development and real‑time systems design.
• Perform rigorous debugging, optimization, and testing to ensure reliability, robustness, and fault tolerance of embedded systems.

• 6+ years of embedded systems development experience, with a focus on real‑time, performance‑critical applications.
• Mastery of bare‑metal/real‑time development using C/C++ for embedded systems.
• Proven experience interfacing with components such as FPGA, DDR, Flash Memory, I2C, SPI, RTOS, LVDS, and understanding their interactions in real‑time systems.
• Experience in performance‑critical scenarios such as high data rate or low latency.
• Hardware debugging experience, including JTAG and diagnostic tools.
• Strong understanding of real‑time systems and performance metrics such as latency, throughput, and timing constraints.
• Advanced knowledge of object‑oriented programming (OOP) design and software engineering best practices.
• Extensive experience with bare‑metal microcontrollers in time‑critical applications.
• Comfortable in Linux environments, particularly for managing embedded Linux systems alongside real‑time processors.
• Minimum education:
  
  Bachelor’s degree.

• FPGA design and development using Xilinx toolset (VHDL/Verilog) with experience on Xilinx Zynq, Versal, or Artix SoCs.
• Familiarity with Vitis/Vivado toolchain and hardware‑software co‑design.
• Experience in image processing, machine vision, or related domains, including filters, transforms, convolution kernels, and algorithm optimization for embedded systems.
• Background in algorithm development for real‑time computer vision or signal processing with a focus on performance optimization.
• Familiarity with performance benchmarking tools and optimization techniques for embedded systems.

Annual Salary: $ – $ (actual offer based on experience, location, education, and skills).

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Disability and life insurance.
• 401(k) plan.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Gear discounts.
• Opportunity to contribute to an exciting mission.
