Firmware Engineer

About the role

Join a hybrid team that builds the low‑level software powering high‑performance enterprise platforms. As a Firmware Engineer you will design, implement, and maintain system‑level firmware while collaborating with experts in embedded Linux and open‑source technologies.

Key responsibilities

• Design and document new system‑level features for embedded platforms.
• Write clean, reliable C/C++ code for low‑level environments and contribute patches to upstream open‑source projects.
• Diagnose and resolve complex software defects, performance bottlenecks, and hardware‑related issues.
• Collaborate with internal teams and clients to solve technical challenges.
• Deliver high‑quality code using CI/CD pipelines, automated validation, and version‑control best practices.

Required profile

• Professional experience in low‑level or systems software development.
• Solid understanding of operating system internals such as memory management, task scheduling, interrupt handling, and device drivers.
• Experience with C or C++ (assembly knowledge is a plus).
• Strong grasp of core Unix/Linux concepts and computer architectures (x86_64, s390, ARM).

Required skills

• C / C++ programming
• Git or similar version‑control systems
• Bash scripting for tooling and automation
• CI/CD pipeline and build automation experience
• Linux packaging systems (RPM, DEB) and software dependency management
• Knowledge of IBM Z architecture and related concepts (optional but preferred)

What we offer

• Opportunity to work on complex engineering problems close to hardware.
• Growth in embedded Linux, enterprise platforms, and open‑source development.
• End‑to‑end ownership of features from design to upstream contribution.
• Mentorship‑rich environment that values collaboration and continuous learning.
• Visibility in the open‑source community through contributions.
