Senior/Lead Firmware Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a Senior/Lead Firmware Engineer to architect, prototype, and scale the next generation of our market-leading printing solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robust, real-time embedded software architectures from the ground up while establishing development best practices across the team.
• Develop low-level drivers and control algorithms for critical printing peripherals, including stepper/DC motors, thermal print heads, and print engines.
• Collaborate with hardware and manufacturing teams early in the design cycle to ensure firmware supports efficient factory testing, calibration, and high-yield production.
• Drive fast-paced prototyping initiatives to validate new product concepts, features, and hardware components while providing strong technical leadership to elevate team capabilities.
• Design and implement robust telemetry, logging, and remote monitoring frameworks to proactively track device health and diagnose complex system-level bugs in the field.
• Drive the technical direction, delegate and assign tasks, and elevate the technical capabilities of the entire firmware team.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field required. Master's degree preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in embedded systems development with expert-level proficiency in the C language.
• Proven experience architecting systems utilizing Real-Time Operating Systems (e.g., FreeRTOS).
• Deep understanding of communication protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi, USB, UART, SPI, I2C) and experience driving physical peripherals (motors, thermal components, sensors).
• Strong hands-on hardware debugging skills with comfortable reading of schematics and using standard lab equipment (scopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers).
• Proven track record of designing firmware with full lifecycle and manufacturability in mind, taking products from a blank text editor to a commercialized, mass-produced reality.

Nice to have

• FPGA design and development experience using Verilog or VHDL is highly desired.
• Previous experience developing printers is highly desired.
• Previous experience developing for RFID encoders or readers.
• Experience with INTEGRITY OS.
