Firmware Engineer

Company Background

The next great leap in AI will happen in the real world, on your face, in real time. MIRA is that leap, and it gives you a second brain: lightweight AI glasses that remember every conversation, answer any question in under a second, translate 60+ languages, and surface the right context exactly when you need it.

We recently sold out and shipped our first batch of units, and we're moving fast. MIRA has raised $6.4M from General Catalyst, Naval Ravikant, Pillar VC, and more.

We're a small team of engineers and builders in San Francisco solving some of the hardest problems in consumer AI and wearable hardware: real-time responses, all-day wearable design, ambient context understanding, and human-AI interaction that just works.

Responsibilities

MIRA is looking for a talented Firmware Engineer to help build the next evolution of human-AI interaction. This role is full-time, in-person, in San Francisco.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of software or firmware engineering experience.
• Strong systems programming fundamentals (C/C++, Rust, embedded systems, low-level debugging, RTOS, BLE, device communication stacks, etc.).
• Experience building complex technical products end-to-end, ideally across hardware and software boundaries.
• Strong product intuition and ability to make pragmatic engineering tradeoffs in fast-moving environments.
• Comfortable working close to hardware, debugging real devices, and shipping production systems under tight iteration cycles.

These might make you a great fit:

• Experience with wireless protocols, embedded Linux, microcontrollers, sensors, audio pipelines, power optimization, or real-time systems is a major plus.
• Prior experience at an early-stage startup, ideally as a Founding or early engineer, is a strong plus.
• Prior experience building consumer hardware products is a strong plus.
