Remote Embedded Firmware Engineer Jobs in Orem, UT

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on Project Matrix, you will provide durable technical leadership for our embedded cameras ecosystem. You will shape the engineering organization by driving system-wide architecture and identifying technical bets that create a long-term competitive advantage. Your team vertically owns embedded camera development—from device-level software and encoding to storage, streaming, and analytics. Operating within a JDM model, you will leverage Yocto and AI-driven methodologies to build robust edge devices that power LVT's intelligent site solutions.

This role can be fully remote, or based on-site at our HQ in Utah or in Seattle. Regular travel is expected to our Headquarters in American Fork, Utah (if remote) as well as to our Joint Design Manufacturing (JDM) partners.

• System-Wide Architecture: Own and drive architectural decisions for LVT's embedded camera platforms, ensuring designs hold up over multi-year horizons and support both current capabilities and future technical bets.

• Domain Ownership: Architect and govern the software running directly on edge devices, as well as the underlying infrastructure for on-camera encoding, video storage, streaming, and retrieval.

• JDM & Strategic Alignment: Serve as the primary technical authority in a Joint Design Manufacturing (JDM) model, keeping cross-functional work aligned across third-party software partners and internal hardware teams.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Broker alignment by working effectively with Technical Program Managers (TPM) to collaborate seamlessly across Hardware, Product Management (PM), and other Software teams to ensure cohesive product delivery from the edge to the cloud.

• Tactical Execution & Mentorship: Drive rigorous architecture and code reviews, manage complex schedule planning, and proactively mentor engineers to raise the technical floor of the organization.

• Edge Analytics & AI: Direct the implementation of camera analytics that translate raw video into actionable signals, utilizing AI-driven tools to enhance design, coding, and automated testing across the development lifecycle.

• Senior Technical Leadership: Proven track record as a Staff or Senior Staff Software Engineer capable of navigating high ambiguity, driving engineering process improvements, and turning complex architectural problems into scoped, prioritized work (8+ years of experience total).

• Embedded & Video Expertise: Deep expertise in embedded Linux environments, custom Yocto distributions, and video processing pipelines, complemented by a foundational understanding of low-level hardware and MCU/RTOS.

• Analytics Integration: Experience architecting edge-based camera analytics and deploying resource-efficient computer vision or Edge AI models.

• JDM & Partner Leadership: Demonstrated success driving technical outcomes within a JDM framework, evaluating vendor capabilities, and holding third-party partners to high engineering standards.

• Engineering Multiplier: Recognized as a technical authority whose judgment generalizes across teams; a leader who actively shapes engineering culture, drives schedule planning, and raises the talent floor.

• AI Tool Adoption: Proficiency in leveraging AI-driven development tools to accelerate code quality, architecture planning, and overall team efficiency.
