Firmware Architect & Subsystem Technical Leader

What you'll do

• Lead the end-to-end architecture, design, and implementation of high-reliability, low-latency embedded firmware for multi-core microcontrollers.
• Partner with ASIC, DSP, Optical, and Hardware architects to co-design hardware/software interfaces and resolve boundary challenges.
• Architect multi-threaded control-plane firmware, Board Support Packages (BSPs), device drivers, and real-time state machines.
• Establish firmware engineering standards and mentor senior and intermediate engineers across the software organization.
• Drive multi-functional alignment from high-level system modeling down to low-level register and bit-level implementation.
• Provide technical direction and leadership to scale the engineering presence within the community.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 12+ years of professional experience in low-level embedded C and C++ programming for resource-constrained hardware.
• 8+ years of experience architecting and developing real-time embedded firmware on bare-metal systems and RTOS platforms.
• Experience crafting firmware for ARM processors, including BSPs, device drivers, and hardware peripheral interfaces like I2C, SPI, and UART.
• Ability to work 100% onsite in Maynard, MA during the initial one-year onboarding period.
• Firmware architecture for optical transceivers, high-speed mixed-signal ICs, photonics, or telecommunications hardware (preferred).
• Development of control-plane software, state machines, and multi-processor/multithreaded communication protocols (preferred).
• Proficiency with modern version control, CI/CD tools, and automation scripting such as Git, Jira, and Python (preferred).
