• About  Company  
• Company helps industrial teams monitor the health of critical equipment through connected hardware, sensing, analytics, and condition-monitoring workflows. Our products include battery-powered sensors, edge hubs and gateways, wireless communication systems, wired networking interfaces, and factory/test infrastructure designed for demanding industrial environments.  
• About the Role  
• As a Firmware Engineer on the Company Hardware Team, you will develop production embedded firmware while contributing directly to electrical design, hardware bring-up, validation, and product launch. This is a hands-on, multi-functional role for an engineer who can move comfortably from code to the bench, through network and gateway diagnostics, and into manufacturing and field support.  
• What You Will Do  
• Firmware, Networking & Gateway Systems  
• Develop and maintain production embedded firmware in C/C++ for sensors, hubs, gateways, and related connected hardware.  
• Design and debug features for device communication, scheduling, data collection, configuration, diagnostics, logging, and OTA/FOTA updates.
• Develop and troubleshoot connectivity across BLE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and cellular paths, including TCP/IP, DNS/DHCP, TLS, MQTT/HTTP, provisioning, reconnection, signal quality, and network diagnostics.
• Support embedded Linux and/or RTOS components, peripheral interfaces, and edge services that connect device firmware and hardware to backend/cloud systems.
• Electrical Design, Bring-Up & Validation  
• Contribute to schematic and PCB reviews, component selection , power and interface design, design-for-manufacture, and design-for-test decisions.  
• Bring up and debug new hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power profilers, debug probes, serial logs, packet captures, and other lab tools.
• Develop and execute test plans; support fixtures, regression and hardware-in-the-loop testing, failure analysis, and environmental or compliance pre-screening.
• Product Delivery & Cross-Functional Ownership  
• Support the full product lifecycle from prototype and EVT/DVT/PVT through manufacturing test, production ramp, launch readiness, field deployment, and sustaining engineering.
• Own work across firmware, hardware, validation, documentation, manufacturing support, and field issue resolution while collaborating with electrical, mechanical, test, cloud, product, cybersecurity, support, and contract-manufacturing partners.
• Maintain disciplined release practices, including Git workflows, pull requests, code reviews, repeatable builds, versioning, changelogs, release notes, and controlled deployment artifacts.
• Create clear technical specifications, interface references, test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and launch documentation that help teams move faster and reduce risk.  
• What You Will Bring  
• Required Qualifications  
• Must be based in the Columbus, Ohio area and able to work from the office at least three days each week.
• Demonstrated experience developing, debugging, releasing, and sustaining production embedded firmware in C or C++.
• Practical electrical engineering experience, including reading schematics, reviewing PCB layouts, supporting board bring-up, and troubleshooting analog, digital, power, and embedded interface issues.
• Experience with network-connected devices, edge gateways, or hubs using technologies such as BLE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular, TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, DHCP, TLS, MQTT, HTTP/HTTPS, or VPNs.
• Experience with embedded Linux and/or RTOS-based systems, device state machines, diagnostics, logging, fault handling, and common interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, or CAN.
• Hands-on proficiency with firmware and hardware debug tools, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, debug probes, serial logs, packet captures, or equivalent equipment.  
• Experience supporting product launches from prototype through qualification, manufacturing readiness, production ramp, and post-launch field support.
• Success in a multi-functional engineering role spanning firmware, hardware, test and validation, documentation, manufacturing support, and root-cause problem solving.
• Working knowledge of secure connected-device practices, including authentication, authorization, encrypted transport, credential handling, signed firmware, secure boot, or secure update flows.
• Experience with Git-based development, pull requests, code review, branching, release control, and clear technical documentation.
• Strong written and verbal communication, sound engineering judgment, and comfort working through ambiguous cross-disciplinary problems.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering , Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience.
• Preferred Qualifications  
• Experience with industrial IoT, condition monitoring, vibration sensing, ruggedized electronics, or other connected products used in demanding environments.
• Experience with low-power battery devices, sleep states, current measurement, power optimization, and long-term field reliability.
• Familiarity with Nordic/ nRF platforms, BLE GATT, embedded Linux services, systemd , shell scripting, Python, Make/ CMake , or device-side daemons.  
• Experience with automated test fixtures, HIL frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, build automation, semantic versioning, package management, or vulnerability tracking.
• Exposure to DFM/DFT, component lifecycle management, contract manufacturers, end-of-line test, and regulatory pre-compliance activities such as FCC, CE, UL, ESD, or EMC.  
• Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools to improve firmware development, documentation, test coverage, or engineering productivity.
• How We Work  
• We value engineers who are hands-on, curious, structured, and accountable. The right candidate can move from firmware architecture to bench debugging to network diagnostics without losing sight of product reliability, security, manufacturability, or the customer experience.  
• This role works closely with hardware, test, product, backend/cloud, cybersecurity, support, and manufacturing teams. Success requires clear ownership from design through validation and release, practical documentation, and a willingness to solve problems wherever firmware and hardware meet.
