Contract Embedded Software Engineer

The role, at a glance:

*This role is a contract role, expected to run for 12 months* 
We are seeking a curious, hands-on Embedded Software Engineer who loves
building new things. You will join the cross-functional product-development team that
creates and maintains the next generation of our network-connected
professional-audio devices: digital signal processors (DSPs), smart amplifiers,
beam-forming microphones, and more.
You will design, implement, and test embedded Linux firmware that delivers reliable
real-time audio performance, robust connectivity, and seamless integration with our
desktop, web, and mobile applications.

How you'll contribute:

• Write modern, maintainable C/C++, go, and Python for embedded Linux platforms (ARM-based SOCs) to enable new product features: networking protocols, peripheral drivers, audio streaming/control, secure boot, OTA updates, and more

• Participate in firmware & system-level architecture discussions, contribute to technical design documents, and de-risk complex interactions between hardware, DSP, and cloud services

• Create unit/integration tests, embrace static analysis, and leverage CI/CD pipelines to ensure every commit raises the quality bar

• Work closely with hardware, mechanical, and software teams to bring up new boards, tune performance, and resolve cross-domain issues quickly

• Produce clear design docs, API references, and commit messages; mentor junior engineers informally and help evolve best practices

• Engage with Product Management and Support to understand real-world use-cases, translating them into resilient, user-delighting firmware features

You'll also support with:

• Championing refactoring and technical-debt reduction when adding new capabilities

• Prototyping emerging technologies (e.g., TSN/AVB, Matter, Rust components) and presenting findings

• Contributing to continuous improvement of our development workflow, tooling, and coding standards

• Other duties as assigned

A successful candidate should have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related field or equivalent experience

• 3+ years of professional experience developing embedded firmware in C/C++/C#/go on Linux-based systems

• Solid understanding of low-level debugging, board bring-up, and peripheral interfaces (I²C, SPI, UART, Ethernet)

• Experience with git and issue-tracking systems (Jira preferred)

• Proven collaboration & communication skills in cross-disciplinary teams

• A pragmatic mindset with the ability to balance innovation, product requirements, and schedule realities

Some nice-to-haves:

• Exposure to Python or Bash scripting for test automation and build tooling

• Experience with Yocto or Buildroot, and containers for embedded development

• Familiarity with professional-audio, real-time media streaming (AES67, Dante, AVB, etc.), or high-performance networking

• Knowledge of secure-boot, TPM, and over-the-air update frameworks

• Awareness of cybersecurity frameworks (SSDF, ISO 27001, EU-CRA) and secure coding guidelines

Work environment:

• This is an onsite position based in Stafford, Queensland, 4053

• Modern office & lab facilities including hardware prototyping labs

• Espresso Machine with beans from Elixir

• Fully stocked kitchen pantry and fridge with a wide variety of snacks
