Firmware Engineer — Sydney, Sydney Region
Expired

Job Description Some code can afford to crash. Yours can't. We're building a real-time, performance-critical embedded platform where latency isn’t just a UX issue—it’s the difference between signal integrity and total system failure. As part of a growing cross-disciplinary engineering team, you'll be helping develop low-level firmware for a next-gen wireless platform built on Nordic chipsets, custom SoCs, and Zephyr RTOS. This is true real-time embedded development, with tight timing constraints and no margin for dropped packets. What you'll be doing: Building and optimising firmware for low-power, high-reliability devices Working across RF data transfer, interrupt-driven systems, and embedded protocols Architecting and maintaining Zephyr-based firmware stacks Collaborating closely with hardware, RF, and embedded teams to align system-level performance What you bring: C/C++ skills strong enough to survive compiler hell and memory constraints Real-world experience with real-time operating systems (especially Zephyr) Familiarity with Nordic chipsets or similar RF-capable MCUs A mindset that prioritises reliability, determinism, and tight feedback loops Bonus points for: Projects where any delay or dropout had real-world consequences Prior work on distributed embedded systems or custom wireless protocols Experience bringing up new SoC platforms and establishing clean codebase foundations Location: This is an onsite role in Macquarie Park, working side by side with a small but mighty engineering crew. Contract: 12 months initially, with a high likelihood of extension/conversion depending on roadmap. Rates: Up to $1100/day Thaís Amorim - [email protected]
