About The Position

SteelSeries makes award-winning, cutting-edge hardware and software products that help PC and Console Gamers on their daily quest for glory. We are looking for a Firmware Engineer with 2-5 years of experience to help develop Firmware for world class PC and Console Gaming Peripheral Products. We are looking for someone that can make a huge impact to our product development and has a serious passion for technology and product development. Why should you work here: Love what you do - This isn't some B2B product targeted at an industry you have no real interest in. This is a consumer product for Gamers and part of the Gaming Industry. If you are interested in consumer electronics, gaming, or something related, you will love it here. Solve interesting technical problems - The Firmware Team is fairly small, but versatile. One day, you may be developing code for a gaming mouse and the next day, you may be developing code for a gaming keyboard, controller, or headset. Make an impact - We are a small company, so if you like being able to make an impact on a daily basis, this is your place. Be part of Product Development - We are a flat organization and everyone has chances to see how consumer electronics products are built and what goes into bringing them to market.
