Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, test, and support our next generation of connected device solutions. This role is the critical link across our hardware, firmware, and cloud-connected platforms. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to build highly reliable, low-latency, and secure IoT products that handle high-velocity edge environments.

As a core member of the Embedded Team, you will:

• Design, develop, test, and maintain firmware for embedded systems and IoT devices.
• Develop software for microcontrollers, sensors, communication modules, single board computers, board support packages (BSP), and connected hardware platforms.
• Support the full product development lifecycle, including concept, design, prototyping, validation, production, and post-launch support.
• Implement communication protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, cellular, LoRaWAN, MQTT, CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, or similar technologies.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers on board bring-up, debugging, schematic review, peripheral integration, and system validation.
• Support device security, firmware updates, data integrity, and secure communication requirements.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, design specifications, test plans, and engineering records.
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, risk assessments, and continuous improvement efforts.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems, firmware development, or IoT engineering.
• A Bachelor’s or Advanced degree in EE, CE, CS, or a related field is preferred (or equivalent practical experience).
• Proficiency in C, C++, and Python.
• Solid experience with bare-metal development, RTOS, and embedded Linux (BSP, device drivers, kernel configuration).
• Deep familiarity with wireless and wired stacks (BLE, Wi-Fi, MQTT, cellular, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, CAN, SPI, I2C, UART).
• Experience with AWS IoT fleet management, observability tooling (OpenTelemetry), and automated testing/deployment via CI/CD pipelines (GitLab Runners).
• Comfortable using debugging tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to run root-cause analysis on complex physical/digital issues.

Requirements

• Ensure optimal performance, maintainability, and quality of firmware to minimize field defects and recurring technical failures.
• Timely execution of embedded software and IoT engineering goals through excellent cross-functional collaboration.
• Successful integration of telemetry and monitoring to maintain insight into large connected device fleets.

Benefits

• Competitive salary tailored to your experience and impact.
• Equity Awards: We believe strongly that if you contribute to Ubiety’s value, you should share in that reward.
• An environment that prioritizes and values creativity and innovation!
• Competitive benefits including: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and PTO.
• Remote opportunity, with preference given to candidates in the greater Chicago area, FL, or GA.
