## About the Role

* Experience designing and debugging firmware for microcontrollers and/or embedded Linux platforms
 * Ability to translate cross-functional systems requirements (hardware, controls, manufacturing) into embedded software design
 * Experience integrating with APIs or external systems (e.g., MES, ERP, or similar production/data systems)
 * Strong testing discipline - comfortable writing unit/integration tests and building validation fixtures
 * Full-stack debugging skills spanning hardware/electrical, firmware, and network layers
 * Solid documentation habits, especially around architecture and requirements traceability
 * Comfortable working cross-functionally with hardware, systems, and manufacturing engineers across the full product lifecycle
 * Proficiency in Embedded C and/or C++
 * U.S. Person as defined by ITAR (22 CFR §120.62)

NICE TO HAVE

 * Experience with C# and/or Python
 * Prior work in a manufacturing or production-floor environment
 * Familiarity with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) specifically
 * Experience with Raspberry Pi or similar SBC platforms in a production setting

## Description

* Design, write, and debug firmware for microcontrollers and embedded Linux platforms (including Raspberry Pi) that control sensors, actuators, and other production-floor hardware
 * Translate systems-level requirements from hardware, controls, and manufacturing engineering into embedded software architecture and code
 * Build and maintain integrations with our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) API - pushing machine and process data up, and pulling work orders, recipes, and routing instructions down
 * Write unit and integration tests, and build validation fixtures to verify firmware behavior against requirements
 * Debug field issues across the stack, from hardware/electrical faults up through firmware and network communication
 * Document architecture, interfaces, and requirements traceability so systems and software stay in sync
 * Collaborate with hardware, systems, and manufacturing engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle, from prototype to production deployment
