Firmware Engineer

About This Role

This Firmware Engineer role involves developing low-level embedded software and building tests to verify its functionality. You will collaborate with senior engineers to update requirements, write firmware in C, and create tests to validate the code. This position is ideal for someone looking to enhance their embedded skills on defense platforms that are deployed rapidly.

Responsibilities

• Develop low-level firmware in C for microcontrollers across multiple product platforms
• Write and execute test procedures that verify firmware behavior against requirements
• Debug and troubleshoot issues that span the electrical, firmware, and software boundaries
• Support board bring-up and hardware-firmware integration alongside cross-functional teams
• Help maintain requirements traceability to ensure every requirement has a corresponding test
• Contribute to multiple projects at various stages from prototype through production

Requirements

• BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
• 2+ years of firmware/embedded software development experience
• Solid C coding ability for embedded systems
• Experience with common bus protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, or similar)
• Familiarity with board bring-up, debugging tools, and coding best practices
• Exposure to writing or executing test procedures for embedded firmware
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities

Nice to have:

• Experience with one or more microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, etc.)
• Experience with an RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, or similar)
• Familiarity with requirements management tools (e.g., Jama, DOORS)
• Experience building or contributing to automated test frameworks for embedded systems
• Comfortable with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for test automation
• Interest in defense technology and mission-driven work

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, available at little to no cost to employees
