I am looking for a true, embedded engineer  with electrical engineering degree and experience in Embedded Systems and design for firmware. This is a hands-on firmware role supporting microprocessor-based control systems used in real-world infrastructure. You’ll be writing low-level C/C++ code, building device drivers, and working directly with hardware. This role has real engineering ownership.
 
In this role you will join a team to 
  • Write embedded C/C++ firmware for low-power devices 
  • Develop device drivers (GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, etc.)
  • Work directly with hardware (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers)
  • Support system integration, testing, and debugging
  • Collaborate with EE + hardware teams
 Qualifications
  • 5–7+ years of embedded firmware experience (C/C++) 
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with U.S. experience
  • Experience with low-power microcontrollers + RT systems 
  • Hands-on debugging at the hardware level 
  • RTOS (Zephyr, Embedded Linux) is preferred
  • Signal processing (FFT/DFT) is preferred 
  • Communications (Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) is preferred
 
If you’ve written firmware that talks to hardware — we should talk.
