Firmware Engineering
About the role
Our Lighting Group is growing, and we're seeking a Firmware Engineer to join our team. The role involves hands-on firmware development for embedded systems, primarily focused on lighting and environmental control products.
Responsibilities
- Helping to review and revise product requirements to ensure technical feasibility and clarity from a firmware perspective.
- Designing, developing, and debugging firmware for our embedded systems, focusing on our Lighting and Environmental product lines (thermostats, keypads, shades, and controllers).
- Collaborating closely with hardware engineers and other developers to integrate firmware and troubleshoot system-level issues.
- Assisting hardware engineers with new board bring-up, then taking the lead on implementing and running firmware-centric design verification tests (DVT) and performing real-time debugging.
- Creating clear technical documentation including design specifications and test procedures.
- Supporting the products you help create, ensuring they meet our quality standards and customer expectations.
Requirements
- At least 3 years of hands-on embedded firmware development experience, covering all phases from initial board bring-up support and DVT to real-time debugging and system testing.
- Strong C/C++ programming skills and a deep understanding of microcontroller architectures.
- Proven ability to diagnose and solve complex system-level problems.
- Good communication skills – you can explain technical concepts clearly, both verbally and in writing.
- A proactive, self-motivated approach with a commitment to delivering quality work. You thrive in a team and can adapt to a fast-paced development cycle.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Experience with modern embedded security protocols and best practices.
- Experience with Matter/Thread connectivity (including commissioning and device interoperability).
- Control Theory (e.g., PID controllers, loop filters).
- Experience with Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) – Free RTOS is a significant plus.
- Experience with communication protocols such as Ethernet, Bluetooth (BLE), 802.15.4/Mesh (e.g., Zigbee).
- Experience with common peripheral interfaces like UART, I2C, SPI, and USB.
