3 Ceribell Firmware Engineer Jobs Hiring Near You

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Electrical/Computer Engineer to contribute to late-stage phases of electrical/computer bring-up and development for the next-generation of medical devices. We have working prototypes of most peripherals on various development platforms (Raspberry Pi and Arduino) and need an experienced embedded engineer to port, integrate, bring up, and test these on the target host, then help drive the design toward manufacturing readiness. This is a hands-on, fast-moving role in a design that is still evolving.

We are looking for someone comfortable with ambiguity, who can independently debug at the hardware/firmware boundary, and who can turn prototype code into reliable, testable integrations on the target platform.

This is a 6-month Contract role.

What You'll Do

• Driver development & porting: Migrate proven peripheral prototypes from Raspberry Pi and Arduino development platforms onto the target platform and/or the analog-front-end MCU, adapting drivers, device-tree/bus configuration, and control logic to the target.
• Bring-up & integration: Bring up peripherals on target hardware, validate electrical interfaces (I2C, MIPI-CSI, GPIO/PWM, audio), and integrate individual peripherals into a working system.
• Control algorithms: Develop and tune peripheral control logic.
• Troubleshooting & debug: Diagnose and resolve hardware/firmware issues on the bench using scopes, logic analyzers, and protocol tools; isolate whether issues are electrical, driver, or timing/configuration.
• Test: Author and execute test procedures to verify peripheral functionality, performance, and reliability; capture results and support related documentation.
• Manufacturing transfer (as needed): Support the eventual transfer of bring-up and test work toward production, including documentation and vendor coordination.
• Collaboration: Work alongside internal engineers and other contractors; communicate status, risks, and technical trade-offs clearly.

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on embedded development experience.
• Strong embedded Linux experience on ARM SoCs, including device tree, kernel/driver configuration, and userspace/kernel debugging.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded targets; comfortable reading and adapting existing driver code.
• Hands-on experience bringing up and integrating peripherals over I2C, MIPI-CSI/camera, GPIO/PWM, and audio (I2S/ALSA).
• Demonstrated ability to port prototype code (e.g., Raspberry Pi / Arduino) onto a production-target host and MCU.
• Strong bench-debug skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and protocol/bus analyzers.
• Ability to work independently through ambiguity and drive problems to resolution with minimal hand-holding.
• Clear written and verbal technical communication, including assisting test-oriented techs with performing reliability / corner-case / etc. testing
• On-site availability (3–5 days/week) for lab and bench work.

 Would Be Great If You Have:

• Camera/imaging experience: V4L2, libcamera, ISP tuning, or MIPI-CSI-2 integration.
• Experience with sensor fusion or closed-loop control (e.g., light-adaptive LED control).
• Audio pipeline experience on embedded Linux (ALSA / device tree audio) or on MCUs.
• Experience authoring and executing verification test procedures in a regulated environment.
• Familiarity with schematic tools (Altium preferred) sufficient to read and redline. Schematics/layout ownership is not required for this role.
• Version control (Git) and issue/project-tracking tools.
