Senior Firmware Engineer – Embedded Printing Solutions

About the role

We are seeking a Senior Staff / Lead Firmware Engineer to scale the next generation of market‑leading embedded printing solutions. The role will architect and develop new firmware platforms from the ground up, collaborating with cross‑functional teams to deliver high‑performance, reliable, and scalable products.

Key responsibilities

• Develop robust, real‑time embedded software architectures from scratch.
• Design and implement firmware platforms for tabletop printers, care‑label fabric printers, and ultra‑mobile handheld devices.
• Create low‑level drivers and control algorithms for stepper and DC motors, thermal print heads, and print engines.
• Implement telemetry, logging, and remote monitoring frameworks to track device health and diagnose field issues.
• Participate in rapid prototyping to validate new product concepts, features, and hardware components.
• Validate and troubleshoot complex system‑level issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, and protocol analyzers.
• Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to translate electro‑mechanical requirements into firmware solutions.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field.
• 7+ years of embedded systems development experience with expert‑level C programming.
