Who we're looking for We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to join one of our projects, focused on re-architecting and optimizing firmware for an IoT device operating in real-world, unstable network environments. You’ll take ownership of core firmware logic, improve reliability and performance, and collaborate closely with hardware and product stakeholders. What you will do
  • Lead the refactoring and restructuring of an existing embedded firmware codebase into a modular, maintainable C-based architecture.
  • Develop and maintain sensor processing logic, including filtering and normalization of noisy data.
  • Optimize firmware performance and resource usage to support evolving hardware platforms.
  • Design and implement robust connectivity logic to handle unstable networks, offline scenarios, and reconnects.
  • Build local data caching and synchronization mechanisms for reliable data delivery.
  • Implement and maintain OTA firmware update mechanisms for deployed devices.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware engineers during board bring-up and platform changes.
  • Support testing and validation across firmware and hardware lifecycle phases.
  • What should my qualifications be?
