Job description

As a Senior Firmware Engineer, you will be an essential member of our engineering team. You’ll help design and implement high-performance firmware across multiple systems.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Developing high-performance firmware capable of handling large data payload while ensuring end-to-end data integrity.
  • Working closely with hardware, electrical and chemistry teams to help define requirements and specifications.
  • Architecting and implementing using bare metal languages such as C and C++
  • Bringing expertise in low-level programming to develop reliable firmware with strict timing requirements.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Software engineering?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * 6+ years of professional software development experience in a senior technical role.

  • Expertise in C and C++.
  • Deep, demonstrable understanding of memory management in embedded platforms.
  • Proven ability to write performant, low-latency, and highly optimized code, particularly when dealing with large data payloads (multi-gigabyte scale).
  • Experience designing and implementing firmware using high-speed buses (SPI, 1G/10G Ethernet, USB…).
  • Experienced in using real-time operating systems such as FreeRTOS, DMA controllers, AXI bus, interrupt mechanisms and low-level threading implementation.
  • Knowledge of IP protocols down to the physical layer

Desired Skills

  • Prior experience working directly with hardware development, bring-up, and troubleshooting.
  • Understanding of FPGA and ASIC integration
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field.
