Principal Embedded Software Engineer

They are looking for a Principal Engineer to own the technical vision and architecture of our embedded firmware platform. This is a critical leadership hire. You will be the person who takes a high-potential prototype and transforms it into a rock-solid, production-ready system capable of powering global energy deployments., * Architecture Ownership: Define and own the long-term roadmap for our embedded platform, covering RTOS, HAL, bootloaders, telemetry pipelines, and core device infrastructure.

• From Prototype to Production: Conduct independent assessments of existing platforms to transition hardware from engineering prototypes to field-hardened.
• Technical Leadership: Direct the work of a team of embedded engineers, establishing coding standards, architectural best practices, and driving rigorous design reviews.
• Fleet Management: Build and own robust Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware upgrade systems and remote management tooling for a massive fleet of connected power electronics.
• Systems Thinking: Act as the primary technical escalation point, solving complex integration issues that span from low-level silicon to full product architecture.

• Expert-Level C/C++: 8+ years of hands-on experience in bare-metal or near-bare-metal programming.
• Architecture Pedigree: A proven track record of architecting full firmware platforms across multiple shipped commercial products.
• Real-World Fleet Experience: Experience managing connected devices in the field, including fault-tolerant recovery mechanisms and secure boot.
• Modern RTOS Expertise: Deep familiarity with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar embedded operating systems.
• Hardware Fluency: Comfortable with PWM, ADC, SPI, CAN, and using logic analyzers/
