We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Firmware Engineer to join our Tucson Agile Release Team. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in embedded C/C++ development, hardware-software integration, and automated hardware validation. This role involves designing scalable firmware architectures, developing low-level drivers, and collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver reliable embedded solutions for real-world systems.
- Design, develop, and optimize embedded firmware using C/C++ for microcontroller and RTOS-based systems
- Develop low-level drivers and middleware for sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces
- Build and maintain Python-based automated test frameworks and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation systems
- Troubleshoot hardware/software interactions using JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
- Participate in Agile/SAFe planning, backlog refinement, and technical design discussions
- Collaborate with Electrical, Mechanical, and Systems Engineering teams for end-to-end system integration
- Conduct code reviews, technical investigations, and firmware demonstrations on target hardware
- Ensure firmware reliability, scalability, and compliance with system architecture standards
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
- Strong professional experience in embedded firmware development using C/C++
- Experience with microcontrollers such as ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, or similar platforms
- Hands-on experience with communication protocols including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, or USB
- Strong understanding of embedded system architecture, memory management, interrupts, and state machines
- Experience debugging embedded systems using JTAG/SWD tools, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes
- Experience with Python scripting, automation, or test harness development
- Familiarity with RTOS platforms such as FreeRTOS or Zephyr
- Experience in Agile or SAFe development environments
- Prior experience mentoring engineers or leading firmware development efforts
