## About the Role

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience

 - 3+ years of embedded firmware development experience
 - Experience with embedded Linux and/or RTOS environments
 - Experience with common hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet) and reading schematics/datasheets
 - Experience debugging embedded systems using lab equipment (JTAG, logic analyzer, oscilloscope), Experience with Yocto/BitBake or other embedded Linux build systems
 - Experience with FPGA/SoC platforms (Xilinx Versal/Zynq or similar) and FPGA-processor integration
 - Experience with RF systems, phased arrays, or radio/modem firmware
 - Experience with manufacturing or hardware validation test environments
 - Familiarity with secure boot, firmware signing, and OTA update mechanisms

## Description

In this role you will own firmware for RF and digital subsystems, from board bring-up through production test. You will work at the hardware/software boundary: writing drivers and control software for SoCs, FPGAs, and RFICs, debugging with lab instruments, and partnering closely with hardware, RF, and test automation teams to deliver reliable systems at scale., Design, implement, and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++ and Rust for ARM-based SoCs and FPGA-based platforms

 - Develop device drivers, board support packages, and hardware abstraction layers for peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, Ethernet)
 - Bring up new hardware: validate schematics, debug board-level issues with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers
 - Build and maintain firmware update, telemetry, and diagnostics capabilities
 - Write unit and hardware-in-the-loop tests; integrate firmware into CI/CD pipelines
 - Collaborate with hardware, RF, systems, and manufacturing test teams to root-cause cross-domain issues
 - Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and operational excellence practices
