Description

Join us to design the embedded systems that power our next-generation AV solutions, where your expertise will shape products from the firmware up! The Engineering and Innovation team is looking for a highly skilled and self-motivated Embedded Systems Firmware Engineer with a strong drive for designing, developing, and implementing firmware for embedded systems, and with collaborative cross-functional team communication skills. The right candidate will play a key role in developing and optimizing firmware for advanced networked audiovisual products. You’ll work across the embedded Linux stack - from kernel configuration to media framework integration - delivering robust, low-latency AV performance in demanding environments, supporting FTR’s long-term growth objectives.

This role is a remote position, working as part of a focused team, together with internal resources and external vendor partners, and reports to the Senior Vice President of Engineering and Innovation.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain firmware for embedded platforms
Integrate and optimize audio/video codecs, media containers, and streaming protocols (e.g. RTP/RTSP, AVB, AES67)
Implement low-level drivers and middleware for high-throughput AV pipelines
Collaborate with audio engineers to integrate and tune signal processing on platforms
Debug and profile system performance using industry-standard embedded tools and Linux utilities
Maintain source control best practices using Git in a collaborative, multi-branch environment
Ensure designs meet regulatory compliance requirements (e.g. FCC, CE, RoHS) for embedded electronics
Work on a hands-on basis, executing as a liaison in the electronics design elements of the project.
Envision and develop ongoing management of product feature roadmap and platform evolution, enhancing firmware performance and efficiency.
Support the ongoing production of comprehensive documentation for developed firmware, including technical specification and implementation details.
Stay updated with the latest industry trends and embedded firmware technologies to maintain relevance in the field.

Qualifications

Experience: A minimum of seven years or more of practical work experience in the same or related role required, with the technical expertise needed to be considered a seasoned contributor, able to work independently in position responsibilities.
Proficiencies:

Experience with Yocto Project build systems on NXP processors
Strong understanding of audio/video codecs, streaming protocols, and real-time data handling
Familiarity with kernel configuration, device tree modification, and driver integration
Demonstrated use of Git for version control, including branching, merging, and code review workflows
Comfortable creating technical documentation of complex systems using CAD, Omnigraffle, Visio or similar.

Compliance: Knowledge of compliance considerations for embedded hardware/software systems
Collaboration: Able to work closely with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and specifications and ensure seamless integration of software with hardware.
Self-Management: Ability to work independently with a strong sense of self-motivation and deep technical expertise.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience:

Hands-on experience with the i.MX 8M Plus and Cadence Tensilica HiFi4 DSP
Experience in performance tuning for low-latency AV systems
Electronics design experience

Exposure: Exposure to Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and professional AV transport standards
