Why this job is a big deal

We're seeking a hands-on, highly experienced, and technically driven individual to join our talented team as ourFirmware Equipment Engineer. In this role, you will develop robust, maintainable embedded firmware that supports reliable and on-time equipment launches. You will translate customer and system needs into clear firmware requirements, develop real-time controls and interfaces, support New Product Introduction (NPI) through the Stage-Gate process, and ensure product readiness through rigorous testing and documentation. Firmware Engineer Global. You'll work closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Product, Test, Operations, and Service teams to bring new equipment platforms from concept through successful release.

What will you get to do?

Develop Reliable Embedded Firmware

• Translate product and customer needs into clear firmware requirements, interfaces, behaviors, performance limits, and acceptance criteria.
• Develop embedded C/C++ firmware, drivers, communication protocols, and real-time controls for equipment platforms and product variants.
• Apply defensive design practices, watchdogs, and other techniques to meet required timing, safety, reliability, and performance expectations.
• Maintain clear, version-controlled specifications that support product design, verification, and release.

Prototype, Test & Validate

• Accelerate equipment bring-up through prototyping, bench validation, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Instrument boards and collect reproducible test data using scopes, analyzers, and other engineering tools.
• Troubleshoot integration issues and reconcile test results against models, requirements, and specifications.
• Plan firmware verification, develop test cases, and execute regression and system-level testing.
• Provide traceable test results, logs, and issue-closure documentation to demonstrate readiness throughout the NPI Stage-Gate process.

Integrate Firmware & Equipment Systems

• Collaborate with engineering partners on schematics, pinouts, timing, and system interfaces.
• Validate communications and interfaces including Ethernet, SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485, and Ethernet/IP.
• Support integration with electronics, motion controls, I/O, and networked machine-to-machine systems.
• Confirm signal integrity, EMC robustness, and fail-safe behaviors under normal and edge-case operating conditions.

Strengthen Software Development Practices

• Support disciplined Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) practices, including requirements traceability, code reviews, static analysis, and continuous integration.
• Develop and maintain unit and integration tests to improve firmware quality and prevent regressions.
• Maintain disciplined branching, configuration control, and release practices.
• Create technical documentation including design notes, state diagrams, communication specifications, UI specifications, and release notes.
• Maintain source code, builds, and binaries using version control and tagged, reproducible releases.

Drive Cross-Functional Execution

• Partner with Electrical, Mechanical, Product, Test, Operations, and Service teams throughout product development and launch.
• Coordinate cross-functional handoffs and priorities to keep development schedules on track.
• Triage defects by establishing clear priorities, ownership, and next steps.
• Communicate technical risks, decisions, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Help ensure equipment builds and launches remain on time and meet established specifications.

What Success Looks Like

• Embedded firmware is reliable, maintainable, and ready to support successful equipment launches.
• Firmware requirements, specifications, test results, and release documentation are clear, traceable, and complete.
• Hardware and firmware integration issues are identified and resolved early in the development process.
• Verification and validation activities provide objective evidence that products meet established requirements.
• Software development practices reduce defects and prevent regressions across product releases.
• Cross-functional engineering teams have clear visibility into technical risks, priorities, and decisions.
