Senior Firmware Engineer

Firmware Engineer

"The United States Air National Guard’s 131st Rescue Squadron recently relied on Somewear’s ATAK integration to coordinate a civilian rescue 1,200 miles off the U.S. Pacific coast. Because our platform provided consistent communications and situational awareness across air, ground, and medical teams, the mission wrapped up in half the expected time — and lives were saved."

At Somewear Labs , that’s the kind of impact our technology delivers. We support those who venture beyond the limits of cellular connectivity with a satellite-enabled platform built for the world’s most demanding environments. Our customers include helicopter paramedics, backcountry explorers, wildland firefighters, and U.S. Special Forces operators.

We’re looking for a Firmware Engineer to help us push the boundaries of what’s possible in off-grid communication. You’ll work at the intersection of custom hardware, satellite technology, LTE, Bluetooth, sensors, and mesh networking — building software that directly powers life‑saving missions in the field.

Why this role matters

Firmware is the beating heart of our platform. Every feature you ship helps ensure critical information reaches the right people at the right time, even in the harshest environments. As an early team member at a Series A company, you’ll have outsized ownership and the chance to shape our products and engineering culture for years to come.

What you’ll do

• Develop embedded software in C, C++, and Rust targeting Zephyr RTOS
• Take features from concept → shipped product on our custom hardware
• Debug and validate new board designs, drivers, and firmware builds
• Implement device drivers and help with board bring‑up
• Collaborate with electrical engineers on hardware design and validation
• Partner with mobile engineers to evolve our communication protocols
• Establish and refine engineering standards, tools, and processes for embedded development
