Work with Product Owners and stakeholders using Agile practices to maintain alignment and transparency throughout the development lifecycle. Adhere to and champion development processes, lead technical reviews, and implement source code that meets product requirements and complies with coding standards. Ensure all code is well-documented, rigorously tested, and version-controlled. Perform unit testing using tools such as IDEs, debuggers, emulators, communication analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. Provide work breakdown plans and task estimates to support project planning and tracking. Contribute to product roadmap planning, identify competency and resource gaps, and implement plans to close the gaps. Develop metrics to track progress and identify areas for improvement. Support multiple product development programs simultaneously. Develop and implement risk mitigation strategies throughout the firmware development lifecycle.

Preferred Qualifications: Background in regulated industries (e.g., medical, industrial safety, automotive). Skilled in using firmware debugging tools such as JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers (e.g., UART, I2C, SPI, Ethernet). Proven ability to deliver firmware across the full development lifecycle—from requirements capture to design, implementation, and validation. Proficient in Agile development and DevOps tools such as Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks. Experience contributing to FMEAs and implementing risk mitigation strategies in firmware. Strong communication and writing skills for collaboration with project stakeholders (Product Managers, Customers, and other Engineers).
