Embedded Firmware Engineer (Intern)

Sensing channels, multiple SoCs, a power budget that has to survive a full night, and a BLE link that cannot drop mid-stream. Somebody has to make all of that behave like one reliable device.

Apply for this role →
what you would own
  • Sensor drivers and a slice of the acquisition and BLE path
  • Making the data coming off the device match the packet contract exactly, every time
  • Link reliability: reconnect, on-device buffering, and sequence integrity, so a dropout never costs a night of data
  • Low-power behaviour, because a wearable that does not last the night does not get worn
what we will ask you

The application takes about ten minutes. Upload your resume and it fills in the rest. These are the written questions:

  1. When have you "hacked" a non-technical system? A rule, a process, an institution. What did you see that others didn't, and what happened?
  2. Tell us about something you built that had to keep running unattended. What broke first, and how did you find out?
  3. A BLE link drops mid-stream while the phone is in someone's pocket, overnight. Walk us through what the firmware should do with the data it is still collecting.
compensation

Compensation and structure are discussed in the first conversation.

Ten minutes, resume first, no blank forms.
