Top Firmware Engineer Jobs in San Francisco, CA

Develop and maintain custom Networking Operating System images for AI supercomputers. Integrate Linux kernel components and debug complex networking issues across software and hardware.

Owns firmware for clinical studies, including development, testing, documentation, release management, logging, and field support. Builds rapid prototypes for sensing, stimulation, and algorithm concepts; performs hardware and firmware debugging; supports clinical teams; and transfers research technology to commercial development. The role also requires AI-assisted development, collaboration across engineering and clinical teams, and adaptability in a small R&D environment.

The Firmware Engineer II will develop firmware for medical devices, collaborate with cross-functional teams, support DevOps, and ensure compliance with medical device regulations.

Own and deliver end-to-end embedded subsystems for long-range aircraft: firmware, drivers, runtime, and monitoring. Implement flight- and safety-critical code on microcontrollers (bare-metal/RTOS), lead validation (HIL/bench/field), build deterministic test and telemetry tooling, and triage high-severity field incidents until fleet metrics confirm resolution.

Develop and own firmware across wearable and robotic platforms, design and implement motor control for brushed and brushless actuators, perform firmware bring-up, collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and ML teams, and validate hardware using debug, CI/CD, and HIL testing.

The Firmware Engineer will design and implement firmware for the Roadio camera system, develop driver-level and application-level firmware, and work with mobile teams to ensure low-latency functionality in embedded systems.

Develop and maintain embedded firmware and kernel/user-mode device drivers for Ethernet-based networking devices. Design, implement, test, and integrate drivers into a Linux and AUTOSAR communication stack, build SDK components, and create debug/test utilities and automated unit/system tests for safety-critical automotive applications.

As a founding firmware engineer at Omi, you will develop firmware for devices, integrate with other technologies, and shape the product's technical direction and culture.

The firmware engineer will write safety-critical code for embedded systems, contribute to hardware design, debug devices, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Design and debug software for embedded devices, working closely with hardware teams to optimize performance and deliver reliable systems.

Develop and maintain firmware and embedded system architecture for ARM-based MCUs, focusing on low-power, radio stacks (BT/BLE/Wi‑Fi), sensors, and audio pipelines. Perform hardware bring-up and lab debugging, collaborate with cross-functional teams (EE, RF, Security, Cloud, AI), manage performance metrics (memory, power, latency), and coordinate vendors and manufacturing for production builds.

Design and implement firmware and drivers for AI hardware components, develop functional models, and debug issues in embedded systems.

As a Senior Firmware Engineer, you'll develop and implement firmware for Pod products, collaborate with hardware teams, and innovate testing and deployment processes. You will also work closely with manufacturing in China and bring cutting-edge sensor technologies into production.

Design, implement, and own a reusable on-device ML inference platform for resource-constrained devices. Integrate inference into RTOS firmware, develop drivers and DMA paths, debug on real hardware, train and optimize models for microcontroller-class hardware, and ship features to production while raising team expertise and using AI-assisted tooling.

Design and implement high-performance motor controllers and estimators in C++ for bare-metal ARM microcontrollers, write peripheral drivers, validate firmware on bench and flight tests, develop simulations and HIL tests in Rust/Python/Matlab/Julia, and collaborate across hardware, flight software, and operations to improve reliability and fleet monitoring.

Develop, optimize, and maintain embedded systems for humanoid robots, focusing on seamless hardware and software integration and AI-driven control strategies.

Develop and integrate firmware, software, and electrical systems for a metal 3D printer. Lead implementation and verification of firmware/PLC-controlled features, motion control, sensor and actuator integration, rapid prototyping, and production code contributions (C/C++, Python). Manage PCB design and serial/analog interfaces, support agency certification, and collaborate across mechanical, electrical, materials, and software teams to deliver product to market.

Serve as technical lead between NVIDIA and hyperscale CSPs on GPU firmware and system software. Drive firmware update orchestration, recovery procedures, multi-GPU coordination, telemetry/health monitoring, and incorporate CSP feedback into NVIDIAs roadmap to improve fleet-scale manageability and reliability.
