Full Job Description
WHAT YOU WILL DO
• Design, write, and debug firmware for microcontrollers and embedded Linux platforms (including Raspberry Pi) that control sensors, actuators, and other production-floor hardware
• Translate systems-level requirements from hardware, controls, and manufacturing engineering into embedded software architecture and code
• Build and maintain integrations with our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) API - pushing machine and process data up, and pulling work orders, recipes, and routing instructions down
• Write unit and integration tests, and build validation fixtures to verify firmware behavior against requirements
• Debug field issues across the stack, from hardware/electrical faults up through firmware and network communication
• Document architecture, interfaces, and requirements traceability so systems and software stay in sync
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and manufacturing engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle, from prototype to production deployment
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• Experience designing and debugging firmware for microcontrollers and/or embedded Linux platforms
• Ability to translate cross-functional systems requirements (hardware, controls, manufacturing) into embedded software design
• Experience integrating with APIs or external systems (e.g., MES, ERP, or similar production/data systems)
• Strong testing discipline - comfortable writing unit/integration tests and building validation fixtures
• Full-stack debugging skills spanning hardware/electrical, firmware, and network layers
• Solid documentation habits, especially around architecture and requirements traceability
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with hardware, systems, and manufacturing engineers across the full product lifecycle
• Proficiency in Embedded C and/or C++
• U.S. Person as defined by ITAR (22 CFR #120.62)
NICE TO HAVE
• Experience with C# and/or Python
• Prior work in a manufacturing or production-floor environment
• Familiarity with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) specifically
• Experience with Raspberry Pi or similar SBC platforms in a production setting
Additional:
