Our firmware engineers own the software that runs on those devices, from first boot through to the features customers use every day. We are looking for engineers who design and build software systems that happen to run on embedded targets, and who think carefully about correctness, maintainability, and the long-term health of a codebase as much as they think about performance. You will own firmware components end to end, from architecture through to delivery and maintenance, working closely with hardware, cloud, and mobile teams to ship products that work reliably in the real world., Design and implement firmware for battery-powered and wired IoT devices running on microcontrollers and RTOS environments - Own components end to end: design, implementation, code review, testing, and maintenance across product generations - Define and implement software interfaces consumed by other teams and services - Debug and resolve issues across the full stack, from hardware bring-up through to production defects in the field - Contribute to and maintain CI pipelines, build systems, and automated test infrastructure - Work closely with hardware engineers, cloud engineers, and product managers to translate requirements into reliable firmware A day in the life You will spend your time designing and implementing firmware features, reviewing code, debugging production issues, and working through technical trade-offs with your team. New products bring new hardware, new constraints, and new problems to solve. The work is hands-on and the decisions you make end up in devices in customers' homes. About the team The Ring Firmware team develops and delivers firmware for Ring's camera-centric devices across new products, existing device support, and new feature development. We are a large team with sites in Europe and Asia and stakeholders in the US. ## Related Videos - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Unleashing the Full Potential of the Arm Architecture – Write Once, Deploy Anywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/940-unleashing-the-full-potential-of-the-arm-architecture-write-once-deploy-anywhere) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) - [When Agents Meet Legacy: Never Change a Running System](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100320-when-agents-meet-legacy-never-change-a-running-system) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering)
