Firmware Engineer

Firmware Developer – Austin, TX (On-site)

We are seeking a Firmware Developer to join a small, fast-moving engineering team working on embedded systems for a consumer-focused hardware product. This is a hands-on role requiring close collaboration with electrical engineers, product designers, and software teams to bring connected products to life.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop, debug, and maintain embedded firmware for ARM-based microcontrollers (primarily C/C++)

• Collaborate with hardware engineers during board bring-up, prototyping, and testing

• Interface with sensors, actuators, and wireless communication modules (e.g., BLE, Wi-Fi)

• Design and implement low-level drivers and real-time control systems

• Work across the full product lifecycle—from prototyping to mass production support

• Optimize for performance, power consumption, and reliability

• Contribute to system architecture and code quality improvements

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience in embedded systems development

• Proficiency in C and/or C++ for resource-constrained environments

• Experience with RTOS-based systems or bare-metal programming

• Familiarity with board bring-up, schematics, and digital/analog interfacing

• Understanding of communication protocols like UART, I2C, SPI, and BLE

• Experience with firmware debugging tools (e.g., JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers)

• Ability to thrive in a collaborative, iterative development environment

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Python or scripting for test automation

• Familiarity with manufacturing test and diagnostics

• Exposure to IoT devices or connected consumer products

• Understanding of low-power system design and battery-operated devices

This is a full-time, on-site position based in Austin, TX. The team values pragmatism, curiosity, and engineering rigor in bringing innovative hardware products to market.
