About the Opportunity

We're seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer / Firmware Architect to join a cutting-edge hardware development team supporting next-generation device development. This is an opportunity to play a key role in architecting and developing low-level firmware that bridges hardware and software for innovative products.

The ideal candidate has deep expertise in BIOS/UEFI, embedded firmware development, and system architecture, with experience delivering reliable, high-performance firmware for complex hardware platforms.

What You'll Do

• Lead the architecture, design, development, and debugging of embedded firmware for new hardware platforms.
• Design and implement BIOS/UEFI firmware, bootloaders, EFI drivers, and other low-level system software.
• Develop enhancements, feature updates, and performance optimizations across firmware subsystems.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, software, validation, and product engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle.
• Drive firmware integration, bring-up, testing, debugging, and deployment for new products.
• Troubleshoot complex hardware/software interactions and resolve low-level system issues.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, design specifications, and development guidelines.
• Lead firmware development efforts by planning work, managing priorities, and ensuring high-quality deliverables.
• Support architecture decisions and mentor engineers on firmware best practices.

Required Qualifications

• Extensive experience developing embedded firmware in C/C++.
• Strong expertise with BIOS/UEFI architecture, EFI drivers, and boot firmware.
• Experience with embedded systems, hardware bring-up, and low-level debugging.
• Solid understanding of processor architecture, memory initialization, boot flows, and system firmware.
• Experience debugging firmware using JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, or similar tools.
• Knowledge of firmware development across hardware platforms and embedded devices.
• Ability to collaborate across cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-paced development environment.
• Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with DSP firmware or other embedded firmware subsystems.
• Familiarity with board support packages (BSPs), device drivers, and hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, PCIe, etc.).
• Experience with secure boot, firmware validation, and production firmware releases.
• Previous experience leading firmware architecture or technical initiatives.
• Experience working on consumer electronics, peripherals, audio devices, or headset products is a plus.

Ideal Candidate

We're looking for a technical leader who enjoys solving complex hardware/software challenges, influencing firmware architecture, and delivering robust embedded solutions from concept through production.
