Principal Embedded firmware engineer As an Principal Embedded Firmware Engineer, you'll play a central role in shaping the intelligence inside our hardware, writing the code that makes our devices perform reliably, efficiently, and safely in homes around the world. You'll work across the full embedded stack, from low-level bootloader to high-level application firmware, in a fast-moving team where your contributions have real and immediate impact. Lunar Energy was founded to transition homes to 100% clean energy—making our electricity greener, our air cleaner and our energy more safe, secure and reliable for all.

Desired skills * 12+ years of experience developing and architecting software, with exposure to the full lifecycle from prototype to production.
  • Experience developing C in bare-metal systems and/or RTOS.
  • Experience implementing power electronics firmware control functionality.
  • Ability to integrate hardware and software to develop end-to-end solutions.
  • Comfortable working in a small, fast-moving team where individual initiative
and contributions have a big impact. * Able to contribute in a multi-disciplinary team following modern software engineering practices (e.g. Git, continuous integration).
