Staff Embedded Firmware Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead firmware development for high profile product development efforts.
• Be responsible for technical leadership, system architecture, and execution across the firmware domain, working closely with internal teams and external partners.
• Own firmware architecture and design for embedded devices from concept through production.
• Drive end-to-end firmware execution including development, integration, validation, and release.
• Lead and mentor firmware engineers (internal and external partners) while remaining hands-on.
• Develop and define communication protocols to enable peripheral functionality.
• Design, implement, and scale low-latency RF/wireless communication protocols for embedded systems.
• Architect structured, modular, and reusable firmware frameworks that scale across multiple platforms and product lines.
• Ensure firmware designs support cross-platform reuse and long-term scalability.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and UX teams to define and deliver product requirements.
• Develop and manage hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and automated test systems.
• Troubleshoot complex system-level issues across hardware, firmware, and RF domains.
• Support manufacturing builds and coordinate firmware activities during product bring-up.
• Support and enhance products post-launch.
• Prototype new features on new hardware platforms.

Qualifications

• Strong embedded firmware development experience in C/C++.
• Strong experience with RF/wireless systems (e.g., Bluetooth, low-latency audio, or similar technologies).
• Deep understanding of low-latency embedded systems and communication protocol design.
• Proven ability to design scalable, reusable, and cross-platform firmware architectures.
• Experience with ARM microcontrollers and low-power system design.
• Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up and debugging (including RF/system-level issues).
• Experience implementing hardware-in-the-loop and automated testing.
• Strong system-level thinking across hardware and software boundaries.
• Proven ability to lead firmware efforts across teams and partners.
• Experience with consumer electronics product development from concept through mass production.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
