# Senior Firmware Engineer, Platform

- **Company:** Neros Technologies
- **Location:** Torrance, CA, United States
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** UClibc (C Standard Library), Code Review, Software Debugging, Linux, Embedded C, Linux on Embedded Systems, Firmware, Open Source Technology, Real-Time Operating Systems, Data Logging, Yocto
- **Published:** November 7, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.juju.com/job/28_25303_730313c63e386040db1deabdc3cc190f

## About the Role

* Mastery of embedded C on shipped products, with fluency across both MCU/RTOS and embedded Linux environments
 * Have built platform code that other engineers depended on - libraries, SDKs, or protocols consumed by multiple teams - and kept them stable through change
 * Hands-on ownership of an embedded build system (e.g. Bazel) - cross-compilation across multiple targets, dependency management, and build reproducibility
 * Track record of owning problems that spanned team or subsystem boundaries and driving them to shipped resolution
 * Strong resource-constrained design judgment - compute, memory, and bandwidth trade-offs on real hardware
 * Debugging mastery - a history of cracking the bugs others gave up on
 * Hands-on: you still ship code, and your technical influence comes from the work, * Bazel specifically, especially for embedded/cross-compiled targets - or migrating a firmware org onto it
 * Embedded Linux platform internals - kernel, BSPs, Yocto/Buildroot - alongside MCU work
 * Flight-stack experience - Betaflight, PX4, or similar
 * DSP, comms, or RF-adjacent firmware
 * Visible open-source systems work
 * You fly - FPV, RC, or drones generally

## Description

Neros builds first-person-view drones for the modern battlefield. As a Senior Firmware Engineer on the Platform team, you will own the common runtime, libraries, SDK, and build system that our flight, ground-station, and autonomy software teams build on - across microcontroller and Linux targets alike. Your customers are other engineers, and the hardest problems in this space are the ones that surface where their code meets the platform., * Own the common runtime and libraries every firmware team consumes - logging, telemetry, IPC, configuration - on MCU-based systems and Linux targets

 * Own the build system and cross-compile toolchain: fast, reproducible, hermetic builds across every target we ship, and the SDK other teams consume
 * Design and maintain the interfaces other teams build on, keeping them stable as the platform evolves underneath
 * Solve the hard, ambiguous problems that surface where the platform meets its consumer teams
 * Drive resource trade-offs - compute, memory, bandwidth - when subsystems compete for the same budget
 * Raise the firmware engineering bar through patterns, code review, and mentoring
