Founding Engineer - Embedded System

Embedded & FirmwareFull-timeOn-site / Hybrid

About the Role

We are looking for a Founding Embedded Systems Engineer to build the firmware that powers our secure edge devices. You will enable low-latency ML inference and secure transaction processing on resource-constrained microcontrollers.

Responsibilities

  • Develop bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware for ARM Cortex-M or RISC-V microcontrollers.
  • Optimize audio processing pipelines for real-time performance on embedded targets.
  • Implement secure boot, OTA updates, and cryptographic protocols.
  • Port and optimize ML models for execution on embedded storage and compute limits (TinyML).
  • Write low-level drivers for peripherals (I2S, SPI, UART, USB).

Requirements

  • Expert proficiency in C and C++ for embedded systems.
  • Experience with RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr) and embedded Linux.
  • Understanding of computer architecture, memory management, and interrupts.
  • Experience with secure elements and hardware security modules is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with build systems (CMake, Make, Yocto) and cross-compilation toolchains.
