About the Role

We are seeking a high-caliber Staff Embedded Systems Engineer to join our team remotely. As a Staff Embedded Systems Engineer, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our products by leveraging your expertise in System-on-Chip (SoC) technology. This position is perfect for someone who is not just a firmware developer but also an architect of hardware-software integration. You will be the primary technical authority for evaluating and abstracting our software stack across various silicon platforms, guiding our product roadmap with your insights.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the evaluation of application processors for next-generation products, comparing performance, power, thermals, and long-term support across vendors.
  • Provide honest assessments of vendor offerings, articulating why one vendor's SDK is superior for our specific use case.
  • Design, develop, and maintain hardware abstraction layers (HALs) that minimize vendor lock-in and streamline future platform pivots.
  • Enable the migration of existing applications and drivers from one vendor's BSP to another, ensuring smooth transitions between platforms.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate hardware and software solutions effectively.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, with a focus on SoC architecture.
  • Strong knowledge of silicon ecosystems, vendor toolchains, and Board Support Packages (BSPs).
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++ and Python.
  • Experience with hardware debugging tools and methodologies.
  • Excellent communication skills to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with machine learning on embedded platforms.
  • Familiarity with IoT protocols and architectures.
  • Knowledge of security practices in embedded systems.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary range of $120,000 - $160,000 per year.
  • Fully remote work environment, allowing you to work from anywhere in the world.
  • Flexible working hours to accommodate your lifestyle.
  • Opportunities for professional development and growth within the company.
  • A collaborative and innovative team culture that values your input and expertise.
