## Description

We're looking for an Embedded Firmware Engineer who thrives at the intersection of hardware and code: crafting the logic that turns precision optics and electronics into accurate, reliable data streams. You'll design and implement embedded systems software for our ARM-based sensing platform, ensuring that every photon and every signal is handled efficiently and intelligently., * Develop and maintain embedded firmware in C++ for ARM32-based microcontrollers.

 * Design and implement modular drivers, data acquisition routines, and real-time control loops.
 * Integrate and optimize communication protocols (e.g. UART, SPI, BLE, USB) for robust data exchange.
 * Collaborate closely with signal processing and data science engineers to align timing, synchronization, and calibration logic.
 * Implement unit and integration tests using GoogleTest (GTest) or similar frameworks.
 * Contribute to continuous integration pipelines for automated build and regression testing.
 * Optimize for power, memory, and timing constraints without sacrificing maintainability.
