Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer

Location: On-site, Bommasandra, Bangalore Urban

Employment Type: Full-Time

About Us:

We are a rapidly growing wearable technology company developing cutting-edge smart rings and other innovative devices. Our flagship product is a smart ring featuring Bluetooth, NFC, a dual-processor PSOC63 architecture, and an RTOS-based application. We are seeking a passionate and experienced engineer to be part of our firmware team and drive next-generation wearable product development.

Key Responsibilities:

Firmware Development:

• Architect, develop, and maintain embedded software for dual-core processors using C/C++ and RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS).
• Optimize firmware for ultra-low current consumption to extend battery life in wearable devices. Implement advanced power-saving modes, and efficient resource management.
• Implement robust inter-processor communication (IPC) mechanisms, manage shared resources, and ensure thread-safety between cores.

System-Level Programming:

on linker and startup files, low-level assembly, and deeper PSoC libraries to optimize system performance and memory usage.

Debugging & Troubleshooting:

Utilize advanced debugging techniques (JTAG, SWD, logic analyzers), detect and prevent deadlocks, optimize semaphores, and resolve concurrency issues.

Hardware Integration:

Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate new features (Bluetooth, NFC, PSOC63) into the firmware.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Coordinate with product management, software, hardware, and manufacturing teams for end-to-end product development.

Project Management:

Establish firmware project timelines, deliverables, and resources, ensuring high-quality releases within deadlines.

Programming Expertise:

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
• Experience with RTOS (preferably FreeRTOS or equivalent) and real-time constraints.
• Familiarity with assembly language for low-level hardware interfacing.\
• Ultra-Low Power Firmware Design
• Proven track record in optimizing firmware for low-current consumption in battery-powered or wearable devices.
• Knowledge of power management techniques (sleep modes, dynamic frequency/voltage scaling, etc.).

Multi-Core & Concurrency:

• Hands-on experience with dual-core processors (preferably PSoC6 or similar).
• In-depth understanding of inter-processor communication (IPC), deadlocks, semaphores, and other concurrency mechanisms.

Low-Level Systems Knowledge:

• Experience handling linker files, startup scripts, and bootloaders.
• Ability to optimize memory usage and power consumption at the system level.
• Communication Protocols: Experience with Bluetooth (BLE), NFC, UART, I2C, SPI, or other communication interfaces.
• Debugging & Optimization: Familiarity with debugging tools, profiling, and root-cause analysis for real-time systems.
• PSOC Experience: Prior experience with Cypress PSoC6 (particularly PSOC63) and advanced PSoC libraries is a big plus.
• Leadership & Teamwork: Excellent communication and leadership skills, with a proven ability to mentor teams and foster collaboration.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelors, or Master's in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
• Experience (Embedded Firmware Engineer): 2+ years in embedded firmware development (freshers need not apply).
• Experience (Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer): 4+ years in embedded firmware development.

Why Join Us?

Innovative Products: Work on state-of-the-art wearable devices and emerging technologies.

Growth & Impact: Shape our product line, influence company strategy, and make a tangible impact on the future of wearable tech.

Collaborative Culture: Join a team of dedicated professionals who value continuous learning,

innovation, and teamwork.

Competitive Compensation: We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and other perks.

If you are a seasoned firmware engineer eager to push the boundaries of wearable technology, we want to hear from you!

This role is for engineers whocare deeply about the product they ship, not just the code they write.

You should apply if you:

• Think like asystems engineer, not just a firmware developer you naturally look at interactions between firmware, hardware, sensors, power, BLE, and manufacturing.

• Have shippedreal hardware productsand lived through issues that only show up in the field, at scale.

• Takeextreme ownership if a device misbehaves in a customers hand, you feel responsible for fixing it, even if the root cause isnt strictly your code.

• Are comfortable working withimperfect systems: early silicon, noisy sensors, power constraints, race conditions, and bugs that are hard to reproduce.

• Have strong fundamentals inembedded systems(MCUs, interrupts, memory, low-power modes, watchdogs, RTOS/concurrency).

• Care aboutbattery life, reliability, and stabilityas much as features and can make smart trade-offs between them.

• Enjoy debugging tough, multi-layer problems and dont stop at surface-level fixes.

• Can balance engineering excellence withproduct judgment knowing when something is ready to ship and when it isnt.

• Want to buildworld-class wearable productsthat will be used by hundreds of thousands (and eventually millions) of users.

This role maynotbe a good fit if you:

• Havenever built or shipped a real hardware productused by customers in the field.
• Prefer fully defined requirements and stable environments over ambiguous, fast-moving product development.
• Like to focus narrowly on a single module or layer without engaging with the larger system.
• Are uncomfortable taking ownership of problems that cross firmware, hardware, and product boundaries.
