Job Details

Embedded Software / Firmware Engineer

??San Francisco Bay Area (Onsite / Hybrid)

?? Full-Time | Competitive Salary + Equity

We are currently partnering with a well-funded, venture-backed deep-tech start-up in the Bay Area that is developing next-generation hardware platforms at the intersection of FPGA, embedded systems, and high-speed data processing

As part of their continued growth, they are looking to hire an Embedded Software / Firmware Engineer to join a small, high-caliber engineering team working on cutting-edge SoC-based systems.

?? The Role

This is a highly hands-on position focused on low-level software development and hardware/software co-design. You will play a key role in building and optimizing embedded platforms working closely with FPGA and hardware teams.

?? Key Responsibilities

• Develop, customize, and maintain embedded Linux systems
• Bring up new hardware platforms and support BSP development
• Design and implement low-level drivers (SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, PCIe)
• Collaborate with FPGA engineers on system architecture and integration
• Debug and optimize performance across hardware/software boundaries
• Contribute to system validation and production readiness

? Requirements

• Strong experience in Embedded Linux development
• Proficiency in C/C++ for low-level systems programming
• Experience with SoC platforms
• Solid understanding of Linux kernel, device drivers, and system bring-up
• Experience working close to hardware (FPGA interaction is a strong plus)

?? Nice to Have

• Familiarity with high-speed interfaces or real-time data systems
• Background in RF, imaging, or high-performance embedded applications

?? Why Apply?

• Join a high-impact start-up at an early stage
• Work on technically challenging, cutting-edge systems
• Gain exposure to full-stack embedded development (HW + SW)
• Competitive compensation package including equity participation
