Firmware Engineer, RTOS, Consumer Devices

About this role

About the Team

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.

About the Role

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.

In this role, you will:

• Design, implement, and debug software for embedded devices.

• Contribute to defining software requirements, interfaces, and test plans.

• Bring up and debug new boards.

• Analyze performance, memory, and power profiles and implement optimizations.

• Investigate field issues, perform root-cause analysis, and deliver robust fixes.

• Foster good software engineering practices.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have deep experience shipping embedded systems (around 10+ years).

• Are proficient in C and C++.

• Are familiar with embedded toolchains, operating systems, and debugging tools.

• Have experience with both rapid prototyping and scalable product development.
