## Description

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy technical depth, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration. As a senior engineer, you will shape and own firmware architecture, influence key hardware decisions, mentor teammates, and contribute from early concept through product launch.

You will help strengthen the technical focus behind a growing portfolio of products,
establish engineering standards that scale with project complexity and bring sound judgement to complex problems where firmware, hardware, usability, and product requirements intersect.

Responsibilities

 * Partner with product and engineering stakeholders to translate product needs into clear, resilient firmware architecture and implementation plans

 * Design and develop firmware for embedded products from concept through production

 * Write and maintain
high-quality C and C++ code

 * Develop control algorithms and communication interfaces

 * Collaborate closely with electrical engineers on hardware selection, board bring-up, testing, and debugging

 * Support system integration and product validation efforts

 * Own and evolve firmware architecture and technical direction

 * Lead drive design reviews and cross-functional technical discussions
 * Mentor engineers and elevate team capability
