Senior Firmware Engineer (Onsite)
About The Position
SUMMARY OF THE POSITION: We are looking for a Sr. Firmware Engineer with experience in ARM-based microcontrollers and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to help build the next generation of our connected hardware platform. In this role, you will design, optimize, and maintain embedded firmware that enables secure, reliable, real-time performance. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners in hardware engineering, product management, and QA to deliver high-quality features. In this role, you will not only contribute to foundational firmware components but also have the opportunity to pursue your long-term engineering ambitions. We foster an environment where personal dream achievements become part of the team’s shared success.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- At least 5 years of experience developing firmware for embedded systems.
- Hands-on experience with ARM microcontrollers (e.g., Cortex-M series) including peripherals, timers, and memory architectures.
- Experience writing firmware for various serial protocols; SPI, I2C, UART, USB.
- Experience with debugging tools such as JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
- Proficiency in C/C++ and familiarity with RTOS concepts and embedded build systems.
- Strong working knowledge of BLE, including advertising, pairing/bonding, GATT profiles, and low-power operation.
- Ability to interpret schematics, read data sheets, and collaborate closely with hardware design teams.
- Solid understanding of version control and modern development workflows.
- Strong interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, enabling effective collaboration with quality and regulatory groups, and self-directed problem solving.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with secure firmware architectures, secure boot, or OTA update mechanisms preferred.
- Experience with IoT ecosystems and cloud-connected device workflows preferred.
