Are you passionate about embedded systems, digital signal processing, and wireless communications? Join our innovative team as a Firmware Engineer, where you'll apply your technical expertise to develop cutting-edge firmware for hearing aids and accessory products. You'll collaborate with product development teams, contributing to both New Product Development and Advanced Development Projects. In this role, youll solve real-world technical challenges and help bring high-quality, reliable products to market. As you grow within our organization, you'll tackle increasingly complex problems, shape the future of hearing technology, and ensure seamless performance through both development and verification processes. Responsibilities Learn and Implement Firmware on wireless radio ICs Learn Bluetooth standards published by Bluetooth SIG Implement FW related to BLE or NFMI Radios Learn and debug issues related to the wireless subsystem Understand and participate in establishing requirements Have a solid understanding of system level requirements impacting firmware deliverables. Participate in the creation of firmware requirements based on system requirements Collaborate with others in the organization to define and improve system level requirements for the hearing aid firmware. Ensure that the firmware design is aligned with the requirements through continuous exploration of the firmware system through review of documentation on the wiki and discussions with senior members of the team. Design and implement high quality firmware Create designs to meet the firmware requirements. At this level the engineer is expected to provide technical solutions to a moderate range of challenging problems. Solutions are reviewed by senior engineers for technical soundness. Document and review designs. Documentation shall provide value and enhance the understanding of the firmware. Use knowledge of programming languages (such as C or assembly) to implement firmware on resource constrained hardware. Diligently follow firmware development processes such as code reviews, creation of design documentation, coding conventions, etc. Create and continually update the status of assigned tasks using the established issue and project tracking software. Use established version control software to store the code. Root cause and resolve firmware issues in a timely manner. Communicating the root cause of firmware issues, possible solutions and the impact of the solution to firmware management and project team as needed. Verify the functionality of the firmware Support the Firmware Verification Team in devising test plans and executing tests to ensure high quality firmware at the system level. Review and provide constructive feedback on the test plans of the Firmware Verification Team. Create and perform unit tests to verify the functionality of firmware they have developed before handing off to Verification team Work with Firmware Verification Engineers and others from the R&D organization to understand and root cause issues. Effectively participate in project activities Understand and follow organizational processes such as the advanced development process and the product development process During assigned projects work with Firmware project sponsor/manager to create project plans and work estimates which are used to set project milestones Proactively take ownership of project assignments and follow project management process (Scrum) defined for the project Throughout projects, proactively communicate changes to level of effort estimates and the impact to the schedule Effectively communicate project activities during sprint reviews, stand-ups, and one on one meetings Other duties/responsibilities as assigned
