Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer

Job Description

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop device software features for Smart Glasses and Wrist devices.

Your responsibilities include maintaining service stability, implementing tests to ensure quality, and triaging issues reported by QA, developer communities, and customers.

You will assist in device bring-up, feature onboarding, migration, and AOSP up-leveling. The role requires analyzing, designing, developing, and debugging firmware and embedded software for sensing and imaging systems.

You will implement firmware on microcontrollers and SoCs, leveraging peripherals, managing power consumption, supporting boot loaders, and scheduling real-time tasks (RTOS). Collaboration across multiple research-focused and engineering disciplines is essential to rapidly deliver firmware solutions.

You will support all phases of custom hardware development, from architecture requirements definition to proof-of-concept implementation, MCU selection, and board bring-up.

Driving the implementation of embedded software development best practices across teams and projects is also a key responsibility.

Additionally, you will document and communicate your learning, understanding, and problem-solving to various audiences and disciplines, while working closely with firmware, software, and hardware teams to ensure platform compatibility.
