Lead Engineer - SW Design (Classic/BLE & LE Audio)

Overview

Lead Software Engineer – Embedded Firmware to develop and maintain embedded Bluetooth firmware for Classic and BLE, with a focus on audio-related features, in resource-constrained, real-time environments.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
• Implement features supporting Bluetooth audio, HFP calling, and LE Audio.
• Develop and maintain real-time, timing-critical embedded software.
• Contribute to wireless coexistence (CoEx) and multi-protocol solutions.
• Debug and resolve firmware, integration, and interoperability issues.
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and Bluetooth qualification activities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support product development and customer issues.
• Mentor junior engineers and support knowledge sharing within the team.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience in embedded firmware or wireless software development.
• Strong core embedded systems knowledge, including C/C++ firmware development, real-time systems, and low-level debugging.
• Strong core Bluetooth knowledge, including Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and audio-related profiles.
• Experience developing memory- and power-optimized embedded solutions, with awareness of performance and MIPS-sensitive designs.
• Knowledge of wireless coexistence (CoEx) and multi-protocol embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience delivering embedded software projects from design through release.
• Demonstrated ability to think beyond standard solutions and independently drive technical outcomes.
• Familiarity with modern development practices, including automation, scripting, and the use of AI-assisted development tools (GenAI tools, intelligent code assistance, analysis tools).
• Comfortable working in iterative, fast-paced development environments ("vibe coding" mindset) while maintaining code quality.
• Strong communication skills, including technical documentation, cross-team collaboration, and problem articulation.
• Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools and technologies used to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making.
