Full Job Description
Minimum qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2 years of experience working in firmware and embedded systems development.
  • 2 years of experience with Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) environments (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr) or bare-metal execution models.

Preferred qualifications:
  • Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field.


Responsibilities
  • Architect unified low-level communications and sensor integration strategies, establishing bus interface standards (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN-FD) across multi-modal sensor and actuator nodes.
  • Lead high-speed onboard embedded networking design, including Ethernet switches, PHYs, MACs, and Linux DSA ensuring deterministic traffic flow and low-latency throughput between microcontrollers and compute modules.
  • Drive real-time signal processing and filtering algorithms on resource-constrained targets to maximize sensor data fidelity before high-frequency control loops.
  • Bridge Electrical and Systems teams by guiding component selection, bus topology, power sequencing, and signal integrity for seamless hardware bring-up.
  • Establish hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, deterministic safety mechanisms, and real-time diagnostic pipelines to rigorously validate firmware performance under harsh conditions.


Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $132000 - $189000 (USD) 15% bonus target equity benefits.
