About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges and enjoys taking ownership from concept to production. In this role, you’ll join a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment where your expertise in embedded systems—ideally within fiber optic transceiver applications—will directly shape innovative products used in global communications networks.

You’ll be a technical leader, a problem-solver, and a trusted partner to engineering, manufacturing, and business teams. If you want to design impactful technology and see it through to real-world manufacturing, this role is for you.

As a senior contributor, you will:

Lead Development & Architecture

· Own major portions of the embedded software design, implementation, and documentation.

· Define and drive development approaches that maximize reliability, maintainability, and code quality.

· Select, configure, and manage the full toolchain: OS, compilers, debuggers, tracking systems, and more.

Collaborate Across Teams

· Partner with internal and external systems-level software teams to ensure seamless integration.

· Work closely with hardware designers from early requirements capture through production.

· Collaborate with product verification teams to deliver fully characterized firmware and intuitive test interfaces.

Ensure Product Excellence

· Maintain strict control over source code, libraries, and build environments.

· Own firmware download, upgrade, and rollback mechanisms, including supported paths.

· Monitor industry standards and ensure product compliance.

· Track and address hardware changes (e.g., component obsolescence).

· Support third-party licensing compliance and documentation.

Drive Project Success

· Work with senior leadership to ensure predictable schedules and high-quality deliverables.

· Identify and mitigate technical risks early in the development cycle.

· Provide hands-on support during all build phases—from engineering prototypes to NPI to full production.

Stay Ahead of the Curve

· Stay current with emerging technologies, tools, and methods to keep our solutions competitive and cost-effective.

· Perform other duties as needed in a dynamic engineering environment.

What You Bring

· Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.

· Strong expertise in embedded software development; experience in real-time systems or telecom applications is a plus.

· Proven track record of bringing embedded products into manufacturing.

· Excellent communication skills and ability to work across disciplines.

· Leadership qualities with a passion for solving hard technical problems.
