Firmware Engineer

Cricut•South Jordan, UT

12d•Onsite

About The Position

Cricut makes smart cutting machines that work with an easy-to-use app, an ever-growing collection of materials, and crafting essentials to help you design and personalize almost anything. This role involves developing and debugging embedded firmware for bare-metal microcontroller systems. You will work closely with hardware engineers to bring up new boards and support new product development. The position requires writing control system code for actuators, integrating and analyzing sensor data, and troubleshooting low-level hardware interfaces. You will also develop internal tools for testing, automation, and manufacturing, and participate in code reviews and documentation to ensure firmware quality. Collaboration across engineering teams is essential to support the full product lifecycle and contribute to design reviews.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (robotics/control emphasis preferred)
1–3 years of embedded firmware experience OR strong project/internship experience for new grads
Strong C programming skills
Experience with bare-metal microcontroller development
Familiarity with electromechanical systems including actuators and precision control
Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills for low-level embedded systems
Excellent communication, documentation, and teamwork skills
Comfortable working both independently and in a collaborative, hands-on environment

Nice To Haves

C++ and/or Assembly exposure a plus
