Are you an embedded firmware engineer looking for a highly technical role where you can apply deep expertise, make critical firmware decisions, and keep progressing technically in a low-politics, engineering-led startup environment?

On offer is a rare opportunity to take real technical ownership of low-power, wireless sensor products used in real-world rail transportation applications. You’ll be improving and scaling proven technology already in the field, while also contributing to next-generation products currently in development.

This company is known for building cutting-edge sensing and connectivity technology that supports rail safety, predictive maintenance, and fleet monitoring. Backed by strong commercial momentum and major contracts in the pipeline, they’re growing the engineering team and want an embedded specialist who can elevate firmware capability and help shape the technical direction.

In this role you’ll focus heavily on embedded firmware (hardware experience welcomed but not essential), working on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), low-power optimization, and C/C++ on microcontroller platforms (e.g., ARM Cortex-M). You’ll be hands-on with debugging, test/verification, performance tuning, and reliability - solving challenging problems that directly impact product performance in the real world.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an embedded engineer who wants to stay hands-on, deepen technical mastery, work on genuinely cutting-edge technology, and have real influence without corporate layers or office politics.

The Role:

*Develop and optimize embedded firmware for low-power wireless IoT / sensor devices

*Own BLE connectivity, power/performance optimization, MCU peripherals, and debugging/test/verification

*On-site role based in Austin, TX within a lean, engineering-led startup team

*Support existing product improvements and contribute to new product development

The Person:

*Strong embedded firmware experience

*Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) experience and low-power embedded systems experience

*C/C++ on microcontroller platforms (e.g., ARM Cortex-M); strong hands-on debugging and problem-solving mindset
