About The Position

The Embedded Firmware Engineer II is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining embedded firmware for production hardware used in table game products. This role requires strong hands-on experience with low level firmware development, close interaction with hardware, and the ability to deliver reliable, deterministic, and testable software in a regulated production environment. The ideal candidate is comfortable working close to hardware, debugging real world systems, and contributing firmware that integrates cleanly into larger platform architectures spanning electronics, mechanical systems, and higher-level software.

Requirements

Experience working close to hardware including peripherals, registers, interrupts, timers, and DMA
Ability to design and debug firmware that interfaces with physical electronics
Experience with one or more embedded platforms including MCUs, SoCs, or embedded Linux systems
Familiarity with common embedded interfaces including SPI, I two C, UART, GPIO, Ethernet, and USB
Understanding of boot sequences, firmware update mechanisms, and version control strategies
Hands-on experience debugging embedded systems using professional tools
Working knowledge of modular code design and structured firmware architectures
Experience implementing state machines, task scheduling, and robust error handling
Ability to work within larger firmware codebases spanning multiple modules and components
Comfortable collaborating with other software disciplines when systems span multiple layers
General understanding of electronic fundamentals including power, grounding, and signal integrity
Ability to read and understand schematics for firmware development and debugging purposes
Awareness of how hardware design choices affect firmware behavior, reliability, and performance
Experience developing software for regulated, certified, or compliance driven products
Understanding of traceability, reproducibility, and controlled change management
Ability to produce firmware suitable for audits, certification, and long-term support
Demonstrated ability to learn new chips, protocols, and technologies using datasheets and reference designs
Comfortable working within environments with evolving requirements and cross domain technical challenges
Ability to independently identify knowledge gaps and close them effectively
