Why You’ll Love Working Here

• 15 PTO days floating holiday
• Competitive benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k). We provide 401(k) matching per the terms of the 401(k) plan.
• Annual bonus and tuition reimbursement
• Career growth in a fast-growing, mission-driven company
• Collaborative, purpose-driven culture
  
  

Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to board bring-up activities for new hardware platforms, including
  
  

bootloader configuration, memory initialization, and peripheral verification.

• Design, implement, and maintain firmware in C/C for bare-metal microcontrollers and
  
  

embedded Linux systems.

• Develop, integrate, and optimize device drivers for peripherals such as sensors, radios,
  
  

storage, displays, and communication interfaces (e.g., I²C, SPI, UART, USB, Ethernet).

• Implement and tune interrupt handlers, ISRs, and low-level scheduling mechanisms to
  
  

achieve reliable, deterministic behavior.

• Perform performance tuning and resource optimization (CPU, memory, power consumption)
  
  

to meet system constraints and battery-life targets.

• Use low-level debugging and measurement tools—such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers,
  
  

JTAG/SWD debuggers, and protocol analyzers—to diagnose and resolve hardware/firmware

interaction issues.

• Collaborate with hardware engineers to review schematics and PCB layouts, ensuring
  
  

firmware compatibility and identifying potential design risks early.

• Develop and maintain board support packages (BSPs), bootloaders, and OS configuration for
  
  

embedded Linux and RTOS-based systems.

• Implement robust error handling, logging, and diagnostic capabilities for field debugging and
• remote support.
• Create and maintain unit and integration tests for firmware components, leveraging test
  
  

harnesses, hardware-in-the-loop setups, and automated test frameworks where appropriate.

• Participate fully in Scrum ceremonies including daily standups, sprint planning, refinement,
  
  

reviews, and retrospectives.

• Work with product managers and cross-functional partners to break requirements into clear
  
  

user stories and technical tasks.

• Conduct peer reviews of firmware design and implementation to maintain quality,
  
  

consistency, and security best practices.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, build pipelines, and
  
  

documentation related to firmware development

Qualifications

• Three to five years of professional experience developing embedded firmware for production
  
  

hardware platforms.

• Strong proficiency in C/C for embedded systems, including memory management,
  
  

concurrency, and real-time constraints.

• Hands-on experience with bare-metal development and at least one RTOS or embedded
  
  

Linux distribution (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot, or similar).

• Demonstrated experience with board bring-up, including bootloader configuration, peripheral
  
  

initialization, and hardware validation.

• Experience developing and debugging device drivers for common embedded interfaces (e.g.,
  
  

GPIO, I²C, SPI, UART, USB, CAN, Ethernet).

• Practical experience implementing and tuning interrupt handlers and low-level timing
  
  

mechanisms (timers, watchdogs, clock configuration).

• Proficiency with low-level debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD
  
  

debuggers, and serial consoles.

• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and basic PCB layout to understand
  
  

hardware behavior and constraints.

• Solid understanding of embedded systems fundamentals including real-time concepts, state
  
  

machines, and resource-constrained design.

• Experience working in an agile/Scrum environment as part of a cross-functional engineering
  
  

team.

• Familiarity with Git-based workflows, code review practices, and modern CI/CD tooling for
  
  

firmware builds.

• Experience with wireless communication stacks (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, LTE, proprietary
  
  

RF) and associated firmware.

Coreforce is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
