The FRL-R HW Team is looking for a Firmware Engineer to help bring cutting edge experiences and hardware to life through collaboration and commitment. In our research projects, we will be pushing the boundaries of computer vision and machine perception with a combination of sensors, hardware, firmware, drivers, and software. To make this possible, we need a well-rounded team that nurtures kinship, fosters good communication, and is sympathetic to the challenges in these diverse domains.In this role, you will be cooperating with other engineers and researchers to design, build, and test prototype hardware and experiences. You will be collaborating and contributing at a deeply technical level and also guiding the efforts of team members who will be supporting you. You will be working with hardware that ranges from small microcontrollers to large scale System On Chip devices and Field Programmable Gate Arrays. You will be part of the team working on Hardware bring up, debugging designs, and supporting the end users of your work.We are looking for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, nurtures a sense of ownership, and enjoys an honest and considerate environment. We have a wide variety of problems that need solutions, and we depend on people who are comfortable with embracing a creative, thoughtful approach to both short term and long term problem solving.
- Contribute effort to analyze, design, develop, and debug firmware, including sensing and imaging systems.
- 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.
- Understand and drive implementation of FW development good practices across teams and projects, including setting expectations, defining backlog, and tracking progress of contingent staff.
- Document and communicate learning, understanding, and problem solving to a wide range of audiences and disciplines.
- Interact closely with firmware, software and hardware teams both project specific and cross functional to ensure that the platforms we are building will work well with other systems.
- B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent with relevant experience
- 5+ years of professional experience in programming embedded systems with C or C Experience with building drivers for custom hardware systems
- Experience with synchronous and asynchronous serial protocols
- Experience in the use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and protocol decoders
- Experience with designing a firmware solution from hardware components or datasheets
- Experience with register level and system debugging
