Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer

🚀 Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer (C/C++ | RTOS | AI Hardware)

We are working with an innovative AI hardware company building the next generation of compute systems designed to power advanced AI workloads. Their technology sits at the intersection of embedded systems, high-performance hardware, and real-time software — enabling faster, more efficient AI infrastructure.

They are now looking for a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to help design and optimize firmware for real-time embedded systems powering next-generation AI hardware platforms.

This is an opportunity to work close to the silicon — building the low-level systems that make cutting-edge AI hardware possible.

💻 The Role

You will design and develop firmware for high-performance embedded systems, working closely with hardware and architecture teams to bring new SoC platforms to life.

✅ What you will be responsible for

• Designing and implementing firmware in RTOS environments (e.g. FreeRTOS)

• Optimizing interrupt handling, scheduling, and event processing for low latency

• Building firmware architectures for multi-core embedded processors

• Collaborating with hardware teams to integrate firmware with evolving AI accelerator platforms

• Debugging complex system behaviour and performance bottlenecks across embedded platforms

✅ What They’re Looking For

• 6+ years of experience developing embedded firmware

• Strong C/C++ systems programming skills

• Experience building or optimizing RTOS-based systems

• Deep understanding of interrupts, concurrency, and real-time system behaviour

• Experience debugging complex embedded platforms

⭐ Nice to Have

• Experience with RISC-V or ARM firmware

• Exposure to secure boot, firmware validation, or embedded security

• Experience working with high-performance interconnects (e.g. PCIe)

💰 Compensation

$200K – $260K base + equity (depending on experience)
