Firmware Engineer

Cricut® makes smart cutting machines that work with an easy-to-use app, an ever-growing collection of materials, and crafting essentials to help you design and personalize almost anything — custom cards, unique apparel, everyday items, and so much more.

We believe everyone is born creative. We’re a diverse tapestry of thinkers, dreamers, givers, DIYers, handi-workers, artisans, and forever and always architects of things.

At Cricut, we place the power of handmade into the hands of all. We give you beautiful, easy-to-master tools so you can make something unique, remarkable, perfect. We surround you with ideas, community, inspiration, and encouragement to take your creativity further than you ever imagined. And as a community, we celebrate the exhilarating act of making every single day.

So, make that handcrafted card that feels like a hug. Design a shirt for fun, for family, or for a full-blown business. Craft with a passion or for a purpose. Make something big and bold, itsy-bitsy, amazingly ambitious, or just plain silly. Whatever you make, just make your heart out. Because here’s the remarkable truth:
When we all make together, we make all things possible.

Let’s make.

• Work closely with hardware engineers to bring up new boards and support new product development
• Write control system code for actuators (motors, solenoids), including PID tuning and dynamic control
• Integrate and analyze sensor data (optical, thermal, reflective, etc.), focusing on signal processing and noise reduction
• Troubleshoot and debug low-level hardware interfaces such as USB, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, and GPIO
• Develop internal tools (in C or C++) to aid testing, automation, and manufacturing processes
• Participate in code reviews, documentation, and revision control to ensure high firmware quality
• Collaborate across engineering teams to support full product lifecycle and contribute to design reviews

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (robotics/control emphasis preferred)

• Strong C programming skills; C++ and/or Assembly exposure a plus
• Experience with bare-metal microcontroller development
• Familiarity with electromechanical systems including actuators and precision control
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills for low-level embedded systems
• Excellent communication, documentation, and teamwork skills
• Comfortable working both independently and in a collaborative, hands‑on environment
