Principal Firmware Engineer

The Opportunity

A leading clean energy technology company is looking for an experienced Embedded Firmware Engineer to join its next-generation grid-scale energy platform team in Austin.

You’ll be working across real-time embedded systems, developing firmware that sits closely alongside the hardware and power electronics. This is a hands-on role covering everything from low-level drivers and board bring-up through to system validation and control.

What You'll Get

• Ownership of complex embedded firmware across next-generation energy systems
• The opportunity to work closely with hardware, controls and power electronics engineers
• A technically deep environment where you’ll be involved from early development through to production
• Scope to influence platform architecture and mentor engineers at senior levels
• The chance to work on technology directly supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy grid

What You’ll Bring

• Strong C/C++ embedded development experience across bare-metal and RTOS environments, ideally Zephyr
• Experience with ARM Cortex-M/R, low-level drivers and hardware bring-up
• Background working with real-time/closed-loop control and embedded peripherals
• Experience taking embedded products from development through to production, with Python for testing/automation
• Functional safety experience is beneficial; Embedded Linux, Yocto, CI/CD, bootloaders or power electronics experience would be advantageous
