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 workplace 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.

What You’ll Do

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.
