Firmware Developer

Miovision•Kitchener, ON

4d•CA$100,000 - CA$120,000•Hybrid

About The Position

As a Firmware Developer, you will collaborate, design, and develop firmware across all Miovision hardware and test systems. Our firmware team is responsible for developing the low-level hardware abstraction layer (BSP) for Miovision Core and Scout products, and much of the on-device software stack for our Opticom priority/preemption phase selectors, radios, and infrared products. Operating in a Linux environment, this is a hands-on role that involves working with multi-board, multi-processor hardware, building out the kernel, modifying low level drivers and hardware abstraction level firmware. You will also develop low-level tests to validate the functionality of each hardware interface. We value practical problem-solving, deep curiosity, and individuals who take the initiative to build the right product.

Requirements

Proven track record of hands-on embedded/firmware design and development experience.
Prior experience working in C/C++ and Python.
Experience navigating development ecosystems such as Git/GitLab, Docker, AWS, Visual Studio, CMake, Jira, and/or Confluence.
Familiarity with embedded systems design at the board and IC level, including familiarity working with hardware devices and compiling for ARM/X64 architectures.
Comfortable designing for protocols like UART, I2C, SPI, USB, and Ethernet.
Passion for building products that our customers love and that the team can be proud of.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, a positive attitude, and a natural curiosity to dive deep into complex technical systems.
