Firmware Engineer

Job Title

Firmware Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement firmware that connects AI-driven hardware to physical devices, focusing on bring-up, control, and diagnostics. Work with electrical, systems, and verification engineers to develop embedded software for adaptive, real-time systems.

Experience Level

Mid-level (typically 5+ years of relevant firmware or embedded systems experience)

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include firmware development across hardware bring-up, control loops, and diagnostics.

• Develop and maintain C/C++ firmware for RTOS or bare-metal targets.
• Perform board bring-up, bootloader development, and device driver implementation.
• Integrate and validate sensor interfaces and control systems.
• Use hardware debug tools (JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes) to diagnose failures.
• Collaborate with electrical, systems, and verification teams during integration and test.
• Implement diagnostics and monitoring to enable adaptive, real-time behavior.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience for this role.

• 5+ years in firmware or embedded systems development.
• Proficient in C/C++ on RTOS or bare-metal environments.
• Experience with board bring-up, bootloaders, and driver development.
• Proficient with hardware debug tools: JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes.
• Experience with control systems, sensor interfaces, or embedded ML.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
