Position Overview
The Electrical Engineer – Firmware is responsible for developing, testing, and optimizing embedded firmware that powers our next-generation controllers and integrations. This role is hands-on and collaborative, working closely with electrical hardware engineers, software developers, product management, and quality teams to deliver reliable, high-performance products for our customers.

Key Responsibilities
Firmware Development & Architecture

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontroller-based access control systems.
• Implement control algorithms, communication protocols, and power management features.
• Develop secure, efficient, and scalable code for new hardware platforms.

Hardware/Firmware Integration

• Collaborate with electrical engineers to define MCU specifications, sensor interfaces, motor control logic, and wireless modules.
• Validate hardware designs through embedded testing, debugging, and analysis.
• Work with PCB prototypes and development kits to evaluate circuit performance and signal integrity.

Testing & Troubleshooting

• Perform firmware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, in-circuit debuggers (ICD/JTAG), and other tools.
• Conduct failure analysis, root-cause investigations, and performance optimization.
• Support product certifications (FCC, UL, CE) by ensuring compliant firmware behavior.

Product Enhancements & Releases

• Contribute to feature upgrades, firmware revisions, and OTA update processes.
• Develop and maintain documentation, including firmware specifications, test plans, and user/diagnostic tools.
• Provide engineering support for production, field troubleshooting, and customer feedback integration.
