We are seeking a Firmware Developer with a strong foundation in low-level embedded development. This role focuses on working directly with microcontrollers and custom boards, maintaining and enhancing existing firmware, and supporting new hardware bring-up. Ideal candidates will have hands-on experience with platforms such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Pico, or similar microcontroller environments, and be comfortable working close to the silicon.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop, maintain, upgrade, and patch embedded firmware written in C or C++.
  • Work directly on custom boards and microcontrollers, including low-level hardware bring-up.
  • Debug hardware and firmware issues using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related instrumentation.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to support existing codebases and implement updates or improvements.
  • Assist in validating and testing firmware on new or revised hardware.
  • Operate primarily onsite while gaining familiarity with systems and hardware.

What You Bring

  • Experience with embedded C or C++ programming.
  • Hands-on exposure to microcontrollers or single-board computers (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Pico, STM32, ESP32).
  • Comfort working at the bare-metal or low-level layer of embedded systems.
  • Ability to understand schematics and basic hardware concepts (formal electrical engineering degree not required).
  • Familiarity with hardware debugging tools such as oscilloscopes or multimeters.
  • Curiosity, willingness to “get close to the hardware,” and ability to troubleshoot in real time.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in the following industries is beneficial but not required: Aerospace, Automative, Defense
