Job Details

Job Description: Firmware Software Engineer V

REQUEST HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Our team is at the front end of the firmware/software development cycle, so we are always innovating and charting new territories in the Augmented Reality world. We build prototypes and dev-vehicles that help XFN teams develop and validate solutions.
  • Additionally, we also provide fw/sw solutions that improve code stability/quality for e.g. enabling CI (Continuous Integration) on hardware devices in lab.
  • As a member on our team, there will be opportunities to work on the entire sw stack from host applications, system software and drivers, and firmware.

Must-Have Hard Skills:

  • Experience with software design and programming in C/C++ for development, debugging, testing, and performance analysis.
  • Experience with firmware development for embedded systems and/or systems software
  • Experience with peripherals such as USB, SPI, MIPI CSI/DSI, I2C, UART, GPIO

Nice-to-Have Skills:

  • Experience with scripting languages like Python, Bash, etc.
  • Experience with embedded RTOSes such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, uCOS, etc.

Experience with CPU architectures like ARM, RISC-V, etc

Summary:

We aim to bring together the brightest cross-disciplinary minds in one place to deliver on our mission: build tools that help people feel connected, anytime, anywhere. We have an exciting opportunity for a Firmware Engineer to join our team of experts that deliver key AR/VR firmware and software solutions. As a Firmware Engineer you will apply the principles of computer science and mathematical analysis to the design, development, and testing of AR/VR devices and prototypes.

Job Responsibilities:
