Join our fast-paced and passionate team as Manager of Firmware Engineering. As we scale, you will be instrumental in building our firmware engineering foundation from the ground up. This is a dynamic, hands-on role for a self-starter who thrives in a fluid startup environment. You'll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies, work closely with leadership, and develop and implement firmware engineering practices that support our mission and growth. 

Your key responsibilities are as follows: 

• Recruit, develop, and manage a team of firmware engineers. 

• Contribute to the architecture, design, integration, verification, and transition to production of firmware for complex laser, photonic, and electro-optical systems. 

• Create and maintain company-wide firmware engineering processes, standards, development environments, coding practices, and tools. 

• Be responsible for the execution of firmware engineering projects across the company, from requirements development and system architecture through implementation, integration, verification, validation, qualification, and production support. 

• Lead the team in developing FPGA- and SoC-based architectures utilizing HDL fabric, embedded C/C++ processors, and hybrid hardware/firmware solutions for high-speed and high-precision control applications. 

• As a member of the cross-functional leadership team, be responsible for planning and execution of company projects on schedule and to budget, including firmware scope, technical risk identification, and mitigation strategies. 

• Partner closely with Electrical, Software, Optical, Mechanical, Systems, Manufacturing, Program Management, and Project Engineering teams to ensure seamless system-level integration.
