Description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer based in Canada. This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of complex embedded systems powering next-generation IoT and video-enabled products used in connected, real-world environments. You will be responsible for designing and optimizing high-performance firmware that directly impacts product reliability, performance, and user experience at scale. Working in a highly cross-functional engineering environment, you will collaborate closely with hardware, cloud, mobile, QA, and manufacturing teams to deliver fully integrated solutions. The position involves deep technical work across real-time systems, multimedia processing, networking, and wireless communication technologies. You will also play a key role in driving engineering quality through design reviews, debugging complex system issues, and mentoring other engineers. This is a hands-on senior role with strong technical ownership and visible product impact from design through production. \n Accountabilities: Design, develop, debug, and maintain embedded firmware for IoT and video streaming products across the full development lifecycle. Own key firmware components and features from architecture and design through to production release. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware, cloud, mobile, QA, and manufacturing partners to ensure robust system integration. Develop and integrate device drivers, RTOS-based components, communication protocols, and embedded platform firmware. Debug and resolve complex system-level issues spanning firmware, hardware, networking, and cloud connectivity layers. Optimize embedded software for performance, memory usage, power efficiency, and system stability. Participate in and lead design reviews, code reviews, and root-cause analysis to improve overall software quality and reliability. Evaluate and integrate new hardware technologies such as SoCs, image sensors, and wireless modules into future platforms. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and support engineering best practices across the team. Requirements: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience. 7+ years of experience in embedded firmware development, ideally within IoT, networking, or video streaming products. Strong proficiency in Embedded C and C++ with hands-on experience in real-time embedded systems. Solid experience with RTOS and Embedded Linux environments. Deep understanding of multimedia systems, including video/audio processing, compression, and streaming (H.264/H.265). Strong knowledge of networking protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP/HTTPS, RTP, RTSP, SIP, and WebRTC. Experience with multithreaded embedded software development and device driver implementation. Proven ability to debug and troubleshoot complex embedded systems using hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers). Experience optimizing firmware for resource constraints including CPU, memory, power, and boot time. Familiarity with IoT architectures, wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, BLE, LTE), and cloud-connected systems. Strong communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills in cross-functional engineering environments. Exposure to production support, scripting languages (Python, Perl, Lua), or IoT protocols (Zigbee, Matter, Thread) is a plus. Benefits: Competitive compensation: CAD $115,000 – $125,000 base salary (Canada range), plus performance bonus and equity. Remote-friendly work options depending on location. Comprehensive health, dental, and wellness coverage. Equity participation in a high-growth connected technology environment. Opportunity to work on advanced IoT, smart home, and video streaming products at global scale. Strong engineering culture focused on ownership, quality, and technical excellence. Career development opportunities, including mentorship and exposure to end-to-end product lifecycle ownership. \n How Jobgether works: We use an AI-powered matching process to ensure your application is reviewed quickly, objectively, and fairly against the role's core requirements.
