Job Title: Senior Embedded Platform Engineer
Location: Irvine, CA (100% Onsite)
Role Summary:
We re seeking a Senior Platform/Real-Time Embedded Firmware Engineer with strong low-level embedded software expertise and a passion for building robust, deterministic firmware for
safety-critical control systems. This role focuses on the real-time firmware foundation that enables actuators, motor drives, BMS, sensors, and vehicle-level systems to operate reliably.
You will architect, implement, and maintain firmware across real-time microcontroller platforms, owning BSPs, drivers, RTOS/bare-metal execution, timing, peripheral interfaces, diagnostics
hooks, and hardware bring-up. This role works closely with embedded systems, motor control, BMS, and vehicle control software engineers to ensure the platform layer is reliable, reusable,
and deterministic.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience developing embedded firmware for complex real-time systems
- Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time firmware architecture
- Experience with real-time microcontroller platforms such as TI C2000, NXP, or comparable
- safety-oriented MCUs
- Strong understanding of MCU peripherals, interrupts, timers, watchdogs, memory, clocks,
- ADC, PWM, GPIO, and communication interfaces
- Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN, CAN derivatives, SPI,
- Ethernet, or ARINC 825
- Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware, firmware, and system
- boundaries
- Experience supporting hardware bring-up, lab validation, and HIL testing
- Strong analytical skills and low-level debugging ability
Preferred / Bonus Experience:
- Experience with TI C2000, NXP, or similar real-time control microcontrollers
- Prior work on safety-critical or regulated systems: aerospace, automotive, industrial
- Exposure to certification-oriented development processes: DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, ISO
- 26262 concepts
- Experience developing reusable BSPs, drivers, middleware, and embedded software
- frameworks
- Background supporting motor drives, BMS, power electronics, sensors, or vehicle control
- systems
- Experience supporting production launch, field issues, and long-term platform maintainability
