Are you a seasoned Embedded Software developer with a deep understanding of low-level hardware interaction, from schematics to processor architecture? Are you excited by a dynamic environment where you can apply your Software Development skills across a diverse range of sensor-based projects? Join our team and help us build the core software that powers our proprietary hardware!

About Us:

We are an engineering-first company specializing in the design and manufacture of advanced sensor technology. Our team develops the mission-critical embedded software for our own product lines, including TPMS, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and more. We thrive on technical challenges and foster a dynamic environment where engineers work on multiple, varied projects, ensuring that no two days are the same. We believe in building robust solutions from the ground up and value deep technical expertise.

What You'll Do With Us:

As a Senior Embedded Software Developer, you will be at the heart of our product development, responsible for creating the software that brings our sensors to life. This is a dynamic role that involves working on a variety of projects and technologies. Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing, developing, and optimizing highly reliable Embedded Software in C or C++ for our proprietary sensors (pressure, accelerometers, gyros, etc.).
• Working closely with hardware teams, using your ability to read schematics and datasheets to influence hardware design and write corresponding low-level software.
• Leveraging your deep knowledge of processor architecture (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V) to write efficient, performance-oriented, and memory-conscious code.
• Developing software for a range of embedded projects, from bare-metal applications to systems running a real-time operating system (RTOS).
• Effectively prioritizing tasks, performing rapid context switching between different projects, and responding to customer-reported issues and bug fixes in a timely manner.
• Proactively identifying and solving complex technical challenges, often under pressure, to ensure project continuity and client satisfaction.
• Creating comprehensive development and testing environments for new sensor projects and platforms.
• Collaborating with quality assurance teams to define and implement rigorous testing procedures for your drivers and firmware.
• Mentoring junior engineers and acting as a technical authority on embedded software development and best practices.

• Senior Experience: Several years of proven experience in embedded software development using C.
• Electronics Expertise: Strong ability to read and understand electronic schematics and component datasheets.
• Processor Knowledge: In-depth understanding of different microprocessor/microcontroller architectures.
• Driver Development: Demonstrable experience in writing, debugging, and optimizing low-level device drivers.
• Debugging Skills: Exceptional analytical and debugging skills for complex hardware-software integration issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debug probes (JTAG/SWD).
• Problem-Solving: Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve difficult technical issues efficiently.
• Adaptability: A proactive mindset and enthusiasm for working in a dynamic role across a wide variety of projects and hardware targets.

What Will Help You Stand Out (Nice-to-Haves):

• Bare-Metal & RTOS: Experience with both bare-metal programming and development using Real-Time Operating Systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr).
• Communication Protocols: Proficiency with common embedded communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, etc.
• Tooling: Familiarity with version control (Git), build systems (CMake, Make), and static analysis tools.
• Automotive Experience: Experience with automotive standards or sensor technology is a significant plus.

Who You Are (Ideal Profile):

• A hands-on engineer who is passionate about the intersection of hardware and software.
• Quality-driven, with meticulous attention to detail and a systematic approach to problem-solving.
• An excellent communicator who can collaborate effectively with hardware, software, and QA teams.
• A highly organized and resilient individual, skilled at prioritization and context switching in a fast-paced, client-facing environment, always ready to tackle new challenges.
