The Role

You will develop embedded firmware for products used in IoT, medical devices, consumer electronics, and advanced manufacturing. You will work with electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to debug hardware-firmware interactions and deliver products to market.

What You'll Do

• Write and test embedded firmware for multiple product types.
• Debug hardware and firmware interactions in real time.
• Implement and optimize communication protocols including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and USB.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams from concept through product launch.
• Contribute to 2-3 projects simultaneously with shifting priorities.
• Review schematics and identify hardware design issues early.

What You'll Need

• 10+ years developing embedded firmware for connected or IoT devices.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and embedded systems development.
• Hands-on experience with at least two of these: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, or USB.
• Ability to read schematics and troubleshoot hardware-firmware problems.
• Experience taking products from prototype through manufacturing.
• Comfort working across multiple industries and product types.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with Zephyr RTOS or other real-time operating systems.
• Background in medical device, consumer electronics, or advanced manufacturing.
• Prior work at a product design consultancy or innovation firm.

What We Offer

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
• Paid time off and flexible scheduling.
• Professional development budget for certifications and conferences.
• Exposure to multiple industries and cutting-edge technologies.
• Work on products that ship to real customers, not prototypes.
• State-of-the-art facilities and collaborative engineering environment.
• Competitive bonus structure based on project outcomes.
