## Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Embedded Firmware Engineer to design, develop, and optimize low-level software for advanced embedded systems. This role involves working across the full firmware stack-from bare-metal development to RTOS-based wireless systems-while interfacing closely with hardware to deliver high-performance, low-power solutions. The ideal candidate has strong experience in embedded Linux, Zephyr, device drivers, and hardware/firmware integration.

Duties/Responsibilities:

 * Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs

 * Develop and debug firmware on bare-metal and RTOS platforms (e.g., Zephyr)

 * Work with embedded Linux systems, including kernel configuration and user-space applications

 * Implement and optimize hardware drivers (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, ADC/DAC, PCIe, etc.)

 * Develop and validate hardware/firmware interfaces and bring-up new hardware platforms

 * Design and implement low-power management strategies

 * Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software teams

 * Perform board bring-up, debugging, and system validation

 * Troubleshoot system-level issues

 * Contribute to architecture decisions and documentation
