Firmware Software Engineer III
Apply NowCompany: Scout Exchange
Location: Redmond, WA 98052
Description:
We are looking for a Firmware Engineer to join our team, whose mission is to design, build,
and test prototype systems for future consumer VR and AR experiences. We are specifically
looking for a candidate with a broad set of experiences, including deep embedded system
knowledge, the ability to quickly solve problems, generate big ideas, work in new technology
areas, and drive concepts into prototypes.
Responsibilities
Lead efforts to analyze, design, develop, and debug firmware for a wide variety of AR
and VR devices, including novel sensing and imaging systems, haptic devices, and
audio prototypes
Understand and implement firmware on micro-controllers, leverage peripherals, manage
power consumption, support boot loaders, and schedule real-time tasks (RTOS)
Collaborate in a team environment across multiple, research focused, and engineering
disciplines, making the architectural tradeoffs required to rapidly deliver firmware
solutions
Support all phases of custom hardware development - including early architecture
requirements definition, firmware architecture, proof-of-concept implementation,
selection of MCUs and tools, and board bring-up
REQUIRED Qualifications
B.S.. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
4+ years of experience in embedded firmware design or equivalent experience
Experience in programming embedded systems with C
Experience with peripherals such as USB, SPI, MIPI CSI/DSI, I2C, UART, GPIO etc.
Experience with wireless or wired communication protocols such as USB, TCP/IP,
Ethernet, Bluetooth and 802.11
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with AOSP, embedded Linux, Kernel, Yocto, Buildroot, etc.
Experience maximizing performance of resource constrained systems
Experience with either an RTOS-based or bare metal system
Experience with high-compute/throughput systems and using sim/modeling to estimate
performance and power
