- Partner with HW, UX, cloud, mobile, and other firmware teams to architect end-to-end IOT systems
- Design and implement features, as well as related tests, to deliver mission critical, robust code
- Optimize firmware for low-power operation, extending the battery life of IoT devices and supporting energy-efficient designs. Profile power consumption and identify opportunities for optimization on the submodule as well as system level.
- Implement robust security measures within firmware to safeguard devices against potential threats, ensuring data integrity, authentication, and encryption protocols are in place.
- Develop a robust CI/CD pipeline and advocate for best practices to help grow a high performance team with highly automated tools and testing
- Collaborate with QA teams and leverage metrics to monitor for and debug issues
- Engage effectively with third party firms by delivering clear specifications and requirements and managing execution

- 4+ years of experience in firmware development, focused on wireless communications on common silicon, especially Nordic.
- Expert in C programming, ideally familiar with C++, Python, and bash scripting
- Past experience working with wireless technologies (BLE, LTE, GPS, NFC, UWB)
- Proficiency with real time operating system concepts including direct experience with Zephyr RTOS and/or FreeRTOS.
- Hands on experience debugging in real world environments with wireless diagnostics tooling such as wireshark
- Knowledge of basic communication protocol principles - messaging, network, security, compression
- Specific experience working with IOT data protocols (e.g. MQTT, HTTP), OTA, wireless regulatory compliance, and cloud APIs a big plus
- Highly collaborative mindset and strong communication skills
