• Work with communication technologies and protocols including Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and cellular connectivity .
• Develop firmware for battery-powered and power-constrained products , with a focus on efficiency and reliability.
• Work with microcontroller peripherals and interfaces including I²C, SPI, GPIO, ADC, CAN, and UART .
• Collaborate closely with hardware and electrical engineers to bring products from concept through development and production.
• Read and interpret schematics, datasheets, and hardware specifications .
• Perform firmware verification, troubleshooting, analysis, and optimization.
• Use tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and other test equipment to diagnose hardware and software issues.
• Contribute to technical requirements, architecture, design decisions, and engineering documentation.
• Help identify and resolve complex system-level issues across hardware and software.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science , or a related technical discipline.
• 7+ years of professional embedded software development experience , or equivalent depth of hands-on experience.
• Strong programming experience in embedded C/C++ .
• Extensive experience developing firmware for microcontrollers, particularly ARM-based platforms such as STM32 or NXP.
• Experience with a range of embedded architectures or platforms such as AVR, PIC, or DSPs is valuable.
• Experience with BLE/Bluetooth and connected IoT products.
• Experience with RTOS and/or bare-metal embedded development .
• Strong understanding of microcontroller peripherals, hardware interfaces, and embedded system architecture.
• Experience developing software for low-power or battery-operated systems .
• Ability to troubleshoot complex embedded systems using hardware and software debugging tools.
• Ability to read schematics and work comfortably with hardware engineers.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering disciplines.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Silicon Labs BG22E and Simplicity Studio .
• Experience designing microcontroller or microprocessor subsystems.
• Understanding of power, thermal, and timing considerations in embedded systems.
• Experience defining or refining technical requirements.
• Experience working directly with customers, clients, or cross-functional stakeholders.
• U.S. Citizenship.

Why Join?

• Work on real-world embedded and connected products from concept through development.
• Collaborate with experienced engineers across embedded software, hardware, electrical, mechanical, systems, and other disciplines.
• Take ownership of technically challenging projects and have a visible impact on the final product.
• Work in an environment that encourages innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning .
• Access opportunities for professional development, training, and growth.
• Competitive compensation and benefits based on experience and expertise.
