Firmware Engineer, RTOS, Consumer Devices

The Software Engineering Firmware team builds reliable, high-performance systems on custom hardware. We work closely with hardware engineers to design, optimize, and ship software that bridges cutting-edge devices and real-world constraints like memory, power, and latency. Our work spans early prototyping through product launch, ensuring that our embedded platforms are robust, efficient, and production-ready.

As a Firmware Engineer , you will design, implement, and debug software for embedded devices. You'll own low-level bring-up, write production C/C++ code, and partner closely with hardware teams to deliver reliable, high-performance systems.

We're looking for engineers with deep embedded expertise, strong debugging skills, and a passion for building systems that perform under real-world conditions.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA . We use a hybrid work model of four days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
