## About the Role

* 8+ years of embedded software and firmware engineering.
 * 2+ years leading or formally mentoring embedded engineering teams. First-time people leaders with strong technical depth will be considered.
 * Hands-on delivery of production firmware for consumer electronics, home appliances, robotics, or related high-volume industries.
 * A track record establishing CI/CD, static analysis, and automated test infrastructure for embedded programs.
 * Executing against architecture and standards defined elsewhere.
 * Working alongside or coordinating with offshore development teams or external development partners.

Technical Expertise

 * Embedded C / C++ development on resource-constrained platforms.
 * Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
 * OTA and bootloader software update architecture.
 * Device security fundamentals.
 * Git-based workflows, CI builds (gcc, CMake, headless), unit testing (Ceedling or equivalent), and static analysis.
 * Hardware-software integration, board bring-up, and debug on target hardware., * Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline required.

## Description

You'll report to the Director, Embedded Firmware, as a peer to the Embedded Firmware Architecture manager. That manager owns the standards and architecture applied to the designs; you own implementation and feature delivery against them, and you decide how the team's time gets spent across concurrent programs., * Lead, hire, and develop the delivery-focused Senior Embedded Firmware Developers within the US embedded firmware team.

 * Delivery commitments for internally developed embedded firmware - schedule, quality, and scope.
 * Code review, day-to-day technical direction, and design guidance for the team, with enough hands-on depth to make credible technical calls.
 * Workload allocation, sprint planning, and capacity across concurrent programs.

Delivery Execution

 * Deliver firmware in the areas retained internally: device control, OTA, and differentiated product features.
 * Execute against defined architecture, interface, and HAL standards.
 * Ensure firmware integrates cleanly with hardware, cloud services, mobile applications, and user interfaces.
 * Enforce engineering standards within the team - feature branches, PR-gated merges with required approvals, ticket-linked commits, unit test coverage, and static analysis on every merge., * Partner with other global firmware leadership on programs spanning multiple sites and on shared platform work.
 * Work with the Software TPM on program sizing, schedule commitments, and cross-program dependencies.
 * Support Quality on release readiness, defect triage, and gate criteria.
 * Partner with Hardware Engineering, Systems, and NPD through bring-up and integration., * Contribute to the reproducibility standard - ensuring internally developed programs meet the same source, toolchain, and build manifest requirements applied to partners.
 * Identify and reduce technical debt across internally owned codebases.
