Job Description
Position: Firmware Engineer (C/C++ Firmware)
Location: Milwaukee area, WI 53172 (Hybrid – 3 days onsite)
Type: Full time permanent direct hire role - No C2C | No Sponsorship available
Salary Range $95K - $140K + Bonus and Benefits
I am looking for a true, embedded engineer with electrical engineering degree and experience in Embedded Systems and design for firmware. This is a hands-on firmware role supporting microprocessor-based control systems used in real-world infrastructure. You’ll be writing low-level C/C++ code, building device drivers, and working directly with hardware. This role has real engineering ownership.
In this role you will join a team to
- Write embedded C/C++ firmware for low-power devices
- Develop device drivers (GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, etc.)
- Work directly with hardware (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers)
- Support system integration, testing, and debugging
- Collaborate with EE + hardware teams
Qualifications
- 5–7+ years of embedded firmware experience (C/C++)
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with U.S. experience
- Experience with low-power microcontrollers + RT systems
- Hands-on debugging at the hardware level
- RTOS (Zephyr, Embedded Linux) is preferred
- Signal processing (FFT/DFT) is preferred
- Communications (Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) is preferred
If you’ve written firmware that talks to hardware — we should talk.
