Job Description:

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to develop production-grade firmware for power grid edge computing platforms. You will work alongside a diverse team of experts across hardware, cloud infrastructure, and AI/algorithms to design, implement, and deploy embedded systems running on mission-critical power infrastructure. This role requires hands-on development across multiple hardware variants, establishing firmware standards, implementing CI/CD pipelines, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams. We are looking for team members who are mission-driven, collaborative, and adaptive—someone who balances production rigor with the pace of innovation required in our distributed energy future. This is a remote position based in the United States, with occasional travel to our lab in Ann Arbor, MI and collaboration across distributed teams nationwide.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design, develop, and deploy production-grade firmware across multiple hardware platforms, architecting scalable, fault-tolerant components
  • Support hardware bring-up efforts and collaborate directly with hardware engineering teams during development cycles
  • Develop and optimize real-time embedded software using C/C++, RTOS, and bare-metal programming for resource-constrained microcontrollers
  • Implement and debug communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, LTE, WiFi) for IoT device connectivity
  • Establish and enforce firmware engineering standards, including coding conventions, testing protocols, and documentation requirements
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, static analysis, and version-controlled release processes
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with external contractors, cloud infrastructure, AI/algorithms, and product teams to deliver integrated solutions
  • Mentor and develop team members

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 7+ years developing and delivering production firmware for embedded systems
  • Expert proficiency in C/C++ with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and bare-metal programming
  • Strong understanding of embedded system architecture, hardware interfaces, and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet)
  • Experience with IoT devices utilizing microcontrollers, communication modules (LTE, Bluetooth, WiFi), and edge computing
  • Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up and working directly with hardware teams during development
  • Knowledge of debugging tools, such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers
  • Proven experience implementing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, and version control systems (Git)
  • Strong communication skills and collaborative work style with cross-functional teams
  • Ability to travel up to 20% of time

Nice to have:

  • Experience shipping firmware in high-reliability industries (medical devices, automotive, aerospace, industrial control)
  • Experience with FPGA integration and firmware development
  • Expertise in Agile development methodologies and firmware design patterns
  • Familiarity with UL compliance, safety standards, and regulatory requirements for power systems
  • Understanding of the physics, mathematics, and hardware components which underlie the U.S. electricity grid and evolving power systems
  • Experience with Rust or modern embedded programming languages
  • Familiarity with ML, IoT, and AI SOMs (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, AMD/XILINX Kria)
What we offer:
  • 10% annual bonus target
  • stock options
  • health, dental, vision
  • employer-match 401k
  • flexible paid time off
