We are seeking a hands-on Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to design, develop, test, and support firmware for PCB-based electronic products. This role works closely with hardware, mechanical, manufacturing, and product teams throughout the full product lifecycle.

Read schematics and datasheets and troubleshoot hardware-to-firmware interfaces
Lead firmware activities for assigned products and coordinate with cross-functional teams
Develop firmware specifications, test procedures, and production documentation
Perform firmware verification, validation, debugging, and root-cause analysis
Support hardware bring-up, prototypes, product compliance, manufacturing, and production launch
Define test methods, tuning procedures, and production test fixtures
Improve firmware development, source control, automated builds, and engineering processes
Qualifications:
U.S. Citizenship is required by Federal Law
Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
5+ years of embedded firmware and electronic product-development experience
Strong C/C++ programming skills
Experience with DSPs, microcontrollers, FPGAs, or audio codecs
Experience with PCB-based hardware and embedded communication interfaces
Ability to read schematics, interpret datasheets, and troubleshoot electronic systems
Experience with firmware testing, validation, production support, and technical documentation
Working knowledge of version control systems
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills
Ability to work independently and within a small cross-functional team
Preferred Qualifications:
- DSP-based audio processing or I2S experience
- Low-power or battery-powered embedded systems
- RF or wireless communication products
- Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio
- Automated build scripts or batch files
- TCP/IP or connected embedded products
- FPGA or programmable-fabric specifications
- FCC, UL, European, or other product-compliance testing
- Experience with consumer electronics, communications equipment, automotive electronics, industrial products, or similar embedded systems
Full-time position offering a comprehensive benefits package, including Medical (BCBSAL), Dental (BCBSAL), and Vision (The Standard/VSP) coverage; a Healthcare FSA; employer-paid Basic Life/AD&D insurance; voluntary Life/AD&D, Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity coverage; and a 401(k) with a discretionary employer match.
