What You'll Do

ARC is looking for an experienced firmware engineer to join our team to extend and enhance the capabilities of our Internet of Things (IoT) sensors with ML-edge processing. You will be building and developing ARC’s IoT sensor devices, leveraging an ARC designed microprocessor platform to characterize and enhance performance of numerous MEMS-based components. Because you will be joining a startup, there are many opportunities to expand beyond your core skills set if desired. You will be part of a high caliber team dedicated to both mission and advancing ground-breaking technology.

Role Responsibilities - How You Will Make an Impact

• Break down system and product requirements into a firmware design and implement it for the ARC product lines
• Work with the product team to define and characterize performance metrics for sensor components
• Iteratively improve user-experience concerns around accuracy, stability, and calibration of MEMS sensors
• Support firmware development and optimization efforts for processing efficiency, code size, and power requirements
• Provide input, feedback, and data-backed results to management and leadership on various firmware features, functions, and power utilization
• Work with the ARC team to plan firmware work in Agile development cycles
• Identify, develop, and execute automated and manual testing procedures with ARC QA functions including hands on support for debugging and resolving identified issues

Relevant Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field
• Experience with hardware or firmware development (C programming)
• Experience with electronic magnetometers, accelerometers, gyroscopes, temperature/pressure sensors, and similar digital sensing technologies
• Experience with SPI, I2C, and UART protocols
• Experience developing microprocessor/micro-controller-based solutions
• Experience with Agile methodologies and development cycles
• Proficiency in using various development environments as well as meters, oscilloscopes, JTAG debugging, logic analyzers, packet sniffers, emulators, etc.
• Familiarity with battery operated products or products with constrained power

Bonus Points:

• Master’s degree or higher in electrical, computer engineering or a related field
• Experience with Test Driven Development (TDD)
• Experience with digital signal processing (DSP) techniques
• Experience developing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), WiFi, or RF enabled IoT devices
• Experience developing firmware applications for the Zephyr RTOS
• Experience reading/developing schematic drawings using KiCAD/Altium or equivalent tools/software
• Experience developing ultra-low power optimized firmware for custom designed PCB boards
• Existing or ability to obtain a DoD security clearance
