Firmware Engineer, Connected Warfare

The Connected Warfare team builds, deploys, and scales modern command and control capabilities like the Menace Family-of-Systems. As the firmware engineer closest to the hardware, you are the critical link between Electrical Engineering and the rest of the software stack. You will own the end-to-end firmware for systems like Menace-I-from initial board bring-up and driver development to system-level integration and field testing-solving the toughest technical challenges at the hardware-software boundary

You'll be building the foundational embedded software for the Connected Warfare team. As a generalist firmware engineer, you'll be responsible for bringing new hardware to life - writing real-time microcontroller code, developing reusable device drivers for sensors and peripherals, and debugging the gnarly, cross-disciplinary problems that live at the boundary of hardware and software.

You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Electrical Engineering team on some of the most complex autonomous systems being built today.

- Develop low-level firmware/software for microcontrollers, create reusable device drivers, integrate system-level features and architect changes to support an ever-growing codebase

- Quickly debug and troubleshoot issues that span the electrical, firmware, and software boundaries

- Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors

- Experience developing firmware in bare-metal or RTOS environments

- Solid understanding and application of coding best practices, board bring up and debugging

- Some familiarity with common bus protocols such as Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS485, etc.

- U.S. Persons status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data

- Experience with one or more microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, etc.)

- Debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, Oscilloscopes, and Logic analyzers

- Have a bias for action. If you see a problem, you want to solve and fix it

- Be naturally curious about the technologies and tools you use
