Embedded/Firmware Engineer - Founding Engineer

Omen is building a radically new approach to sensing and perception - pushing the boundaries of physics, hardware, and AI. We're redefining what machines can see, sense, and understand. As we scale up development of our next-generation sensor systems, we're looking for an exceptional Embedded/Firmware Founding Engineer to take ownership of core system software across hardware and cloud-integrated platforms.

What You'll Do

Lead the design, architecture, and development of embedded firmware for advanced sensor systems.

Own the full firmware lifecycle - from board bring-up to production-ready systems.

Build and maintain scalable, reliable embedded codebases in C/C++ and Python.

Design robust testing frameworks and execute comprehensive test plans.

Work hands-on with hardware to debug, validate, and optimize performance.

Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and AI teams to ensure tight integration across the stack.

Drive performance improvements, low-power optimization, and wireless communication handling.

Guide risk assessments and ensure quality standards across all embedded components. What We're Looking For

Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar - or equivalent experience with a track record of exceptional performance.

5+ years of professional experience in embedded systems or firmware development.

Mastery of C/C++, and working proficiency in Python or another scripting language.

Proven ability to ship complex hardware-integrated products from prototype to production.

Deep understanding of embedded software principles, source control, and documentation workflows. Bonus Experience

Debugging and testing directly with hardware in real-world environments.

Low-power wireless protocols and RF systems.

Driver development for new or unconventional sensors.

Integration of embedded systems with cloud services (e.g., AWS IoT).
