Job Description
Become a Key Player as an Embedded Firmware Engineer You will design, implement, and maintain embedded firmware that enables next-generation spectroscopy and OCT products, driving features that matter to instrument users and researchers. You will work closely with hardware, FPGA, software, and data-science stakeholders to deliver reliable device firmware in an onsite development environment (on-site, 5 days/week). Your contributions will impact device performance, power management, and data delivery. Here's How You'll Make an Impact on the Team Own and maintain C firmware for multiple microcontrollers and spectrometer product families Implement and test code to read sensors, modulate lasers, configure battery chargers and power sequencing, and apply EEPROM device configuration Deliver spectra and device data over USB, BLE, I2C, SPI, UART and other communication protocols Support system power management including USB power negotiation, battery management, IC sleep modes and watchdogs Support board bring-up and feature testing on new PCB/hardware revisions and maintain firmware architecture and theory-of-operation documentation Maintain product API documentation for customer-facing USB and BLE interfaces and keep source code under revision-control and quality policies (branches, code reviews, tags) Collaborate with FPGA designers, PCB design engineers, software engineers, and data scientists to integrate firmware with sensor control, data pipelines, host apps, and embedded ML models Here's What You'll Need to Be Successful in This Role 5 years experience with ANSI C/C++ Experience in "bare metal" flow control using priority interrupts and service windows Experience with board-level protocols including I2C, SPI and UART Familiarity with USB, including control packets and power negotiation (preferred) Familiarity with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) (preferred) Experience with low-power and battery-operated device design (preferred) Experience with STM32 family and related tools (e.g., STM32Cube
