Are you passionate about developing embedded systems from the ground up? We're partnering with an innovative product development organization seeking a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to play a critical role in designing and developing next-generation embedded solutions that power intelligent connected products.

This is an opportunity for a highly technical engineer who thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys owning firmware development from concept through production. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in embedded C programming and the ability to create, architect, and implement microcontroller-based solutions from scratch.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for commercial products and new technology initiatives.
• Architect and implement microcontroller-based systems from the ground up, including hardware interaction, peripheral integration, and communication protocols.
• Develop firmware solutions using embedded C in a real-time environment.
• Create software designs that support product development from concept, prototyping, validation, manufacturing, and ongoing support.
• Collaborate closely with Electrical, Manufacturing, Product, and Test Engineering teams.
• Utilize MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, simulation, and embedded application development.
• Support system-level debugging, testing, and performance optimization.
• Develop tools and automation utilities to improve engineering and manufacturing processes.
• Contribute to innovative projects involving connected devices, edge computing, and intelligent product development.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 7+ years of embedded firmware development experience.
• Expert-level proficiency in Embedded C programming.
• Proven ability to design and develop embedded systems and microcontroller solutions from scratch.
• Strong experience with embedded debugging, testing, and hardware bring-up.
• Experience working with communication protocols such as CAN, UART, SPI, and I2C.
• Hands-on experience with MATLAB and Simulink.
• Strong understanding of embedded system architecture, memory management, and hardware/software integration.
• Ability to pass technical coding assessments and contribute immediately in a fast-paced engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) application development.
• Real-time operating systems (RTOS), including FreeRTOS.
• Python scripting and automation.
• C++ development experience.
• Bootloader development.
• Embedded cybersecurity concepts including secure boot, certificate chains, and hardware security modules (HSMs).
• Model-Based Software Development (MBSD).
• AI Edge Computing or Image Detection applications.
• Android application development.
• Experience supporting new product development initiatives.
• Agile/Scrum development environments.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

• Opportunity to own firmware architecture and embedded design decisions.
• Work on connected products incorporating Bluetooth, automation, and emerging AI technologies.
• High visibility role with significant influence on new product development.
• Collaborative engineering culture with strong cross-functional engagement.
• Stable and growing organization investing heavily in embedded innovation.

If you're an engineer who enjoys turning concepts into real-world products and has the technical depth to build embedded systems from the microcontroller level up, we'd love to hear from you.
