Embedded Firmware Engineer

Firmware bugs are unlike software bugs in one important way — they often can't be patched remotely once devices ship, so getting it right before production matters more than in almost any other engineering discipline. We write production-grade bare-metal and RTOS firmware for ESP32, STM32, and Nordic platforms, built and tested for the real constraints of embedded and IoT hardware — memory limits, power budgets, timing guarantees. This is for hardware products where firmware quality directly determines device reliability in the field. You get firmware built to ship, tested against the actual hardware, not just a simulator.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan — not a black box

  1. 1

    Review the hardware specification, power and memory constraints, and the firmware's real-time requirements.

  2. 2

    Build and test core firmware functionality on actual target hardware, not just a simulator or dev board.

  3. 3

    Review firmware behavior under real operating conditions with your hardware team before finalizing.

  4. 4

    Complete the firmware build with test coverage and a documented flashing/update process for production.

What You Get

Deliverables from this engagement

  • Production firmware source code for your target hardware
  • Test results validated on real hardware, not just simulation
  • Documented flashing and firmware update process
  • Power and memory usage report against your constraints
