  • Design and development of embedded firmware for sensor applications including sensor interfacing, data acquisition, signal processing and RF protocol stack implementation including protocol layers such as PHY, MAC, and network.
  • Architect and implement firmware solutions optimized for real-time sensor data acquisition, analysis, and control in diverse application scenarios.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to define system requirements and specifications for sensor integration, ensuring seamless interaction between firmware and sensor hardware.
  • Optimize firmware performance for low-power operation, resource-constrained environments, and real-time communication requirements.
  • Develop and maintain firmware drivers and libraries for common sensor types, enabling rapid development and deployment of sensor applications across different platforms.
  • Conduct thorough testing and validation of firmware functionality, performance, and reliability, addressing any issues or deficiencies through iterative refinement and optimization.
  • Stay abreast of the latest advancements in sensor technology, embedded systems, and firmware development methodologies, integrating emerging technologies and best practices into our development process.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

YOU MUST HAVE:
  • 5+ years of experience in embedded firmware development, with a focus on sensor applications and real-time systems.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C and C++ for embedded systems, with experience in firmware development for microcontrollers, DSPs, and SoCs.
  • Deep understanding of sensor principles, including analog and digital sensor interfaces, data formats, and signal processing techniques.
  • Experience with common sensor types and applications, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, proximity sensors, and environmental sensors.

WE VALUE:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex firmware issues and optimize performance for efficiency and reliability.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and present technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
