Firmware Engineer

🚀 Firmware Engineer (Embedded Systems / Validation Focus)

📍 Chelmsford, MA (Hybrid)

We’re partnering with a leading engineering-driven organization that develops safety‑critical, communication-based embedded products used in real-world industrial environments.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on problem solving in existing systems — not building from scratch, but testing, analyzing, and improving firmware that’s already in production .

If you like debugging complex embedded systems, running tests, and fixing real issues that impact shipped products , this will be a strong fit.

💡 What You’ll Do

• Run automated tests on embedded firmware in production systems
• Perform static code analysis and identify code-level issues
• Conduct network and security testing (Wireshark or similar tools)
• Debug and fix issues in existing embedded C/C++ code
• Analyze test results and drive issue resolution and remediation
• Support updates to safety-critical, communication-based devices
• Work closely with cross-functional teams while owning your tasks
• Operate independently after initial ramp-up with minimal supervision

✅ What They’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems / firmware engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with debugging and troubleshooting
• Exposure to firmware testing, validation, or QA environments
• Experience with static code analysis tools (LDRA, Parasoft, SonarQube, Coverity, etc.)
• Solid understanding of embedded systems and hardware interaction
• Ability to analyze issues and implement practical fixes quickly
• Comfortable working independently in an execution-focused role

⭐ Nice to Have

• Experience with networking concepts (TCP/IP, packet analysis)
• Familiarity with Wireshark or similar tools
• Exposure to CI/CD or automated test pipelines
• Background in safety-critical or regulated systems

🎯 Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on real, shipped products — not just prototypes
• Focus on problem-solving, debugging, and impact , not just coding
• High-priority initiatives with clear business and compliance impact
• Independent, hands-on work with minimal bureaucracy
• Opportunity to step into a role where you can contribute immediately

✅ What Makes Someone Successful Here

• You’ve already worked on testing + debugging firmware , not just building it
• You’re comfortable running tools, analyzing issues, and fixing problems
• You prefer execution and impact over architecture and design discussions

👉 If you enjoy getting into real systems, finding problems, and fixing them fast , this role is built for you.
