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.
