The selected candidate will own the software architecture and design execution, along with processes, tools, and metrics used for both new product development and sustaining programs. Key Responsibilities
Translate high-level concepts into robust, maintainable firmware architectures. Lead the definition and documentation of requirements and rationale for regulated products. Collaborate with hardware engineers to define and implement hardware/firmware integration strategies and diagnostic coverage. Drive alignment with Product Owners and stakeholders through Agile practices. Adhere to and champion development processes, lead technical reviews, and implement source code that meets product requirements and complies with coding standards. Ensure all code is well-documented, rigorously tested, and version-controlled. Perform unit testing using tools such as IDEs, debuggers, emulators, communication analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. Provide work breakdown plans and task estimates to support project planning and tracking. Contribute to product roadmap planning, identify competency and resource gaps, and implement plans to close the gaps. Develop metrics to track progress and identify areas for improvement. Support multiple product development programs simultaneously. Develop and implement risk mitigation strategies throughout the firmware development lifecycle. Mentor junior engineers, fostering technical growth and promoting best practices across the firmware team. Required Qualifications
Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. 12+ years of experience developing embedded software/firmware using C/C++. 5+ years of experience with Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS). Preferred Qualifications
Masters degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Background in regulated industries (e.g., medical, industrial safety, automotive). Experience developing firmware for multi-core embedded processors. Skilled in using firmware debugging tools such as JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers (e.g., UART, I2C, SPI, Ethernet). Proven ability to lead firmware development across the full development lifecyclefrom requirements capture to design, implementation, and validation. Proficient in Agile development and DevOps tools such as Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks. Experience leading FMEAs and implementing risk mitigation strategies in firmware. Strong communication and writing skills for collaboration with project stakeholders (Product Managers, Customers, and other Engineers). Skilled in leading cross functional teams to distill market needs into defined technical requirements and system/subsystem/module architectures.
