We're looking for a deeply technical Staff Firmware Engineer who lives at the lowest levels of the stack from bootloaders, device drivers, board bring-up and cross-domain bugs that span hardware, firmware, and software. You'll own embedded firmware end-to-end across systems that fly, drive, and dive (Menace, Dive-XL, Ghost, Roadrunner), working shoulder-to-shoulder with Electrical Engineering on some of the hardest problems our customers face.
