## About the Role

* Experienced embedded software engineer who has shipped production firmware in C and C++ for complex electromechanical products such as robots, consumer electronics, medical devices or industrial equipment.
 * You've led a team of embedded or firmware engineers, including hiring and managing performance.
 * You've taken multiple products from prototype to volume production and supported them after launch.
 * You're comfortable working from bare-metal microcontrollers to embedded Linux and multicore processors, using Python for tooling and testing.
 * You've brought up boards and peripherals yourself (ADC, PWM, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet), can read a schematic, and debug with a scope and logic analyzer.
 * You can profile and optimize firmware for performance, memory, and power, and diagnose problems across several connected controllers using logs and trace data.
 * You make decisions with incomplete information, move quickly, and can explain how a technical call affects the customer.
 * You communicate clearly with electrical, mechanical, and software engineers, as well as product and program leads.

Bonus Skills:

 * Linux kernel experience, such as writing device drivers
 * Firmware for motion control, lasers or optics, or thermal systems
 * Over-the-air (OTA) updates and device security for connected products
 * Supporting a large fleet of connected devices in the field
 * MISRA C or other safety-critical coding standards
 * Passion and experience in 3D printing
 * Background in electronics or robotics

## Description

* Own delivery of embedded firmware for current and upcoming printers: hit program milestones, set the quality bar, and decide with program leads what ships now and what waits.
 * Stay hands-on. Review architecture and code, debug on target hardware next to your engineers, and write code when the team needs another pair of hands.
 * Set direction for a shared embedded platform (drivers, communication stacks, RTOS and embedded Linux integration, bootloaders, firmware updates and build infrastructure) so each new printer reuses what works instead of starting over.
 * Hire strong embedded engineers, coach them toward their best work, and deal with performance problems directly and early.
 * Partner with electrical engineering, systems integration, mechanical and software teams from board bring-up through production, and trace field failures back to root cause.
 * Build the test automation, CI, and static analysis that let the team ship firmware updates to a large installed base without breaking it.
 * Question requirements and cut work that doesn't matter to customers, so the team spends its time on what does.
