Job Description

Position: Embedded Firmware Developer

Location: Round Rock, TX (100% Onsite)

Job Type: Fulltime

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain low-level embedded firmware in C/C++ for real-time, high-reliability industrial devices.

Architect firmware modules compliant with IEC 62368, UL 508, ATEX, and IECEx directives.

Develop and optimize bootloaders, secure firmware update mechanisms, and memory-safe drivers for communication interfaces and sensors.

Utilize ARM Cortex-M MCU platforms and hardware abstraction layers (HALs), such as ST HAL, CMSIS, or Silicon Labs SDKs.

Perform hardware-in-loop (HIL) validation, timing analysis, and fault injection testing to ensure system robustness.

Integrate support for industrial fieldbus protocols: Modbus RTU/TCP, PROFIBUS, and HART communication stacks.

Author technical documents including safety analysis reports, firmware architecture design documents, certification support artifacts, and regulatory submission manuals.

Implement secure coding practices to meet functional safety (SIL) levels, tamper resistance, and secure boot standards.

Work cross-functionally with hardware engineers, product safety leads, and compliance teams to align firmware design with industry and government requirements.

Assist with pre-compliance testing, including EMC, temperature cycling, electrical stress, and explosive atmosphere safety tests.

Support plant-floor commissioning activities, firmware diagnostics, and firmware updates for embedded devices deployed in hazardous industrial zones.

Mandatory Qualifications

10+ years of professional experience in embedded firmware development for industrial-grade systems.

Proven delivery of firmware for UL-certified or IEC/ATEX-certified products (e.g., intrinsically safe devices).

Advanced knowledge of embedded system design constraints: power management, RTOS integration, and watchdog timers.

Deep experience with ARM Cortex-M (M0/M3/M4/M7) microcontrollers and common debugging tools such as JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.

Understanding of hardware schematics, PCB layouts, and low-level signal interfacing.

Desirable Skills

Familiarity with RTOS platforms (FreeRTOS, Micrium, Zephyr).

Experience integrating secure bootloaders and crypto libraries (e.g., WolfSSL, MbedTLS).

Exposure to IEC 61508, SIL-2/3, or ISO 13849 functional safety development lifecycles.

Prior experience with Regulatory Audits, UL Field Inspections, or FM Approvals.

Experience using Version Control (Git), Continuous Integration, and Automated Unit Testing for embedded environments.

Hands-on with CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, and custom device protocols.
