## About the role

You'll own firmware end-to-end on safety-critical embedded systems. Our products run on ARM Cortex-M class hardware in demanding field environments. The current codebase is Rust-on-Embassy, but we are language-agnostic — strong C, C++, or Rust embedded engineers are equally welcome. You'll work closely with the hardware engineer from bring-up through qualification.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of professional embedded firmware on ARM Cortex-M (or comparable) in C, C++, or Rust — show us something you shipped or fielded
- Deep comfort with the bare-metal stack: interrupts, DMA, clocks, timers, low-power modes, linker scripts, and memory maps
- Strong with peripheral protocols — I²C, SPI, UART, USB CDC — and with debugging them on a scope or logic analyzer when the abstraction layer is lying
- Experience building and reasoning about real-world safety-relevant state machines, including guard conditions and timer-driven transitions
- Discipline around testability: pure-logic code separated from HAL, host tests for everything that doesn't strictly need the target
- Working English, written and verbal
