Firmware
Engineer
with experience in microcontroller/microprocessor programming in
C/C++ . The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience developing and debugging firmware for custom hardware and embedded systems.
Responsibilities
Develop firmware for microcontrollers, microprocessors, and DSPs in C/C++ (Microchip, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, Espressif ESP modules, etc.)
Program and configure microcontroller peripherals such as ADCs, DACs, PWMs, timers/real-time clocks, and interrupt service routines (ISRs)
Implement and debug communication protocols including I2C, UART, SPI, USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
Design and implement firmware routines for signal processing, algorithm development, system logic, state machines, and communication structures (e.g., command/data parsing, CRC handling)
Develop firmware to control and interface with external sensors, ICs, memory devices, LCDs, user interface components, and other peripherals
Validate and troubleshoot firmware on custom hardware prototypes and embedded systems, including debugging at both the firmware and hardware levels
Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other test equipment to diagnose and validate signals, timing, and communications
Collaborate closely with the hardware engineering team on microcontroller and peripheral integration
Work with other firmware and software engineers to achieve system-level integration and performance goals
Previous hands-on experience designing firmware for custom hardware and verifying/debugging firmware on custom hardware is a must.
Additional Responsibilities
Defining firmware requirement specifications for projects
Experimental data collection and reporting
Preparing internal and client-facing documentation and reports
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or similar)
Hands-on experience with embedded system design and debugging
Familiarity with Microchip, TI, and/or ST microcontrollers or processors
Ability to read schematics and interpret PCB layouts
A positive attitude, communicate clearly, work collaboratively, demonstrate honesty and integrity, and have a passion for engineering, problem-solving, and learning
Experience That’s a Plus
Familiarity with MPLAB X IDE
Experience with ESP-IDF and ESP modules
Experience with FreeRTOS
Proficiency with Git version control
Exposure to Altium Designer ECAD software
Education and Core Requirements
This is a full-time role with the option to work fully remote or hybrid if near Alma, Arkansas.
Seniority level: Entry level
Employment type: Full-time
Job function: Engineering and Information Technology
