Morse Micro is redefining wireless connectivity with next-generation Wi‑Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah) technology. As Australia’s largest fabless semiconductor company, we’re building ultra‑efficient chips that power tomorrow’s IoT landscape through extended range, low power consumption and high performance. You’ll be part of a global team collaborating across Australia, the US, India, the UK, China, Taiwan, and Japan.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software, hardware, and innovation. You will design, develop, and deploy high-performance embedded Linux applications for cutting-edge systems, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, scalable, and intelligent products.
Responsibilities Include
- Develop software for both microprocessor- and microcontroller-based systems.
- Develop linux user applications and hardware abstraction layers in C/C++ (e.g. TCP, IOT/MQTT/OPC UA gateways), optimised for both Linux and bare metal environments.
- Implement robust communication over TCP/UDP sockets, and serial COM ports; ensure interoperability and timing compliance.
- Create cross-platform builds with CMake (GCC/Clang/MSVC), automate builds and tests in CI/CD, and maintain reproducible toolchains.
- Write clear technical documentation (build guides, flashing procedures, protocol
- Build and maintain network communication layers using socket programming, MQTT, Protobufs, and WebSockets.
- Contribute to the design and review of complex algorithms ensuring performance and reliability.
- Implement and enhance CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and formal verification processes.
- Participate actively in code reviews, promoting best practices and code quality.
Qualifications / Experience / Skills
- 10+ years of professional experience with C/C++.
- Proven experience delivering embedded firmware or systems-level applications.
- Strong C/C++ on embedded Linux: POSIX APIs, multithreading, synchronisation primitives, IPC, and TCP/UDP sockets.
- Solid grasp of Linux internals: filesystems (ext4, SquashFS), init/service management (systemd or BusyBox), udev rules, and kernel modules.
- Hands-on Buildroot: cross-compilation toolchains, custom package creation, and reproducible builds.
- ARM (Cortex-A/M) familiarity: low-level peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO), memory/performance constraints.
- STM32 development using HAL/LL and FreeRTOS; bootloaders and robust firmware update/OTA strategies.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and stock option package
- Performance-based bonus scheme
- Income protection insurance
- Supportive, high-performance culture where your work truly matters
- Personal professional growth opportunities
