Full Job Description
About this Role
In this role, you'll design and implement firmware that bridges AI-driven hardware with physical devices. You'll work across bring-up, control, and diagnostics - enabling adaptive, self-optimizing behavior in real-time systems. Collaborate with electrical, systems, and verification engineers to develop embedded software that powers learning machines.

You might thrive if you have 5+ years of experience in
  • C/C++, RTOS, or bare-metal firmware development
  • Board bring-up, bootloaders, and driver development
  • Debug tools such as JTAG, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes
  • Control systems, sensor interfaces, or embedded ML
