Senior Firmware Engineer

Role Summary

We are looking for a highly skilled Embedded Firmware Engineer with strong expertise in C programming and ARM-based microcontrollers. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing, debugging, and optimizing embedded firmware for resource‑constrained systems. Experience or exposure to Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology will be a strong advantage.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware in C for ARM-based platforms
• Work on bare-metal or RTOS-based systems
• Debug low-level drivers (GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, timers, etc.)
• Perform firmware bring-up on new hardware platforms
• Debug complex system-level issues using JTAG/SWD, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes
• Optimize firmware for performance, memory, and power
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and validation teams
• Participate in code reviews and ensure compliance with coding standards
• Create and maintain technical documentation (design specs, test reports)

Job qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related field.
