  • Collaborate with Test Engineering to streamline the high-yield production and manufacture of hardware products.
  • Support product field testing to quantify customer value and identify firmware feature opportunities with high program impact.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years of experience developing software/firmware for embedded systems.
  • BS in CS/CE/EE or equivalent industry experience.
  • Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors and developing firmware application logic in bare-metal or RTOS environments.
  • Strong C coding ability and familiarity with the language standard.
  • Solid understanding and application of software development best practices, software/hardware debugging approaches, and board bringup methodology.
  • Familiarity with common IC bus protocols such as I2C, SPI, USB, CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, etc.
  • Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • MS in CS/CE/EE or equivalent industry experience.
  • Experience with the implementation details of one or more microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, etc.)
  • Firmware/hardware debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, Oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
  • Exhibit a growth mindset, and always be looking for opportunities to learn more about the technologies and tools you use.
