Associate Staff Engineer - SW Design

Overview

Design and deliver high-quality embedded firmware for resource-constrained wireless systems on the Bluetooth R&D team, working on Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) products.

What you'll do

• Design, implement, and maintain real-time embedded firmware in C/C++ for resource-constrained systems.
• Own complex firmware features from design through implementation, debugging, and release.
• Develop timing-critical, performance-sensitive code with strong attention to memory, power, and CPU constraints.
• Debug complex system-level issues spanning firmware, hardware, and protocol interactions.
• Contribute to multi-protocol and wireless coexistence (CoEx) solutions.
• Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, and product qualification activities.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including systems, PHY/RF, validation, and customer-facing engineering teams.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and contribute to team knowledge sharing.

What you'll need

• Strong, hands-on experience in embedded firmware development, with deep proficiency in C/C++.
• Solid understanding of real-time systems, interrupts, concurrency, and low-level hardware interactions.
• Proven experience building memory- and power-optimized embedded software.
• Strong debugging skills using hardware and software tools (JTAG, trace, logs, protocol analyzers, etc.).
• Demonstrated ability to independently drive technical solutions and make sound design decisions.
• Experience delivering embedded software products from concept through production.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of industry experience in embedded firmware or systems-level software development.

Nice to have

• Experience with Bluetooth Classic and/or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
• Familiarity with Bluetooth audio use cases (e.g., audio streaming, HFP, LE Audio).
• Understanding of Bluetooth controller architectures and wireless protocol stacks.
• Experience with wireless coexistence (CoEx) and multi-protocol systems.
• Familiarity with modern development workflows, including automation, scripting, and CI practices.
• Exposure to or practical use of GenAI-assisted development tools (e.g., AI code assistants, analysis tools, productivity tools) as a productivity and quality enhancement.
