- Bring up new hardware: validate schematics, debug board-level issues with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers
- Build and maintain firmware update, telemetry, and diagnostics capabilities
- Write unit and hardware-in-the-loop tests; integrate firmware into CI/CD pipelines
- Collaborate with hardware, RF, systems, and manufacturing test teams to root-cause cross-domain issues
- Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and operational excellence practices Basic Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience
- 3+ years of embedded firmware development experience
- Experience with embedded Linux and/or RTOS environments
- Experience with common hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet) and reading schematics/datasheets
- Experience debugging embedded systems using lab equipment (JTAG, logic analyzer, oscilloscope) Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with Yocto/BitBake or other embedded Linux build systems
- Experience with FPGA/SoC platforms (Xilinx Versal/Zynq or similar) and FPGA-processor integration
- Experience with RF systems, phased arrays, or radio/modem firmware
- Experience with manufacturing or hardware validation test environments
- Familiarity with secure boot, firmware signing, and OTA update mechanisms
