Job Description

Lead a small team of firmware engineers supercharging devices that protect both planet and people

Build a future-proofed firmware environment to enable global growth

Drive engineering excellence by leading from the front

Lead Firmware Engineer

Central Sydney location

$160-200k + super

Flexible hybrid working rhythm

What if there was a way for infrastructure to evolve and thrive, without costing the Earth?

Our client has dedicated their existence to this thesis, building unique devices that:


* Monitor site safety and environmental impact
* Enable customers to tackle threats to both in real time
* Maintain and measure an inventory of related data

The problem
1. A peerless product. Rapid growth. Well funded. Decades of living as the customer. Hardly problematic, you say. I'm getting to it:
2. These folks are poised to go global, but can't get there without advancements across their product line
3. The team is sharp, future-forward, and diversely skilled
4. They need a leader to
* Set the direction for firmware projects
* Lead from the front
* Steward the engineers' personal growth journeys
* Architect for the future
Why should that be interesting to you?
* You've "been there, done that" when it comes to performant firmware environments that evolve, not just cope, with scale
* You're motivated by encouraging junior engineers to forge their own growth path, with your guidance
* You're ready for "that" move that you look back on as pivotal in your career's upward trajectory
* You've thought, "I've got ideas" but lacked the kind of scope to voice them
* You've thrived influencing a range of stakeholders, and you want more of it
* You can't explain why, but you're intrinsically drawn to growing these areas alongside your engineering chops
* You've added more features than you've had hot dinners, and you're ready for greener/browner-looking opportunities to put your name to

The likely solution to the problem

A meeting of minds, one mind being our client's, and the other mind likely resembling:
* Seasoned firmware engineer first. Think:
o Skills built in scaling embedded IoT environments
o C/C++, Python, (Free) RTOS - the usual suspects
o "What STM32 looks like at scale" - our client
* Proven leader, or senior engineer with positive leadership potential signals
* Confident and articulate when engaging a range of stakeholders in healthy debate
* Understanding over-the-air devices
* Scaled a firmware/embedded team while the company around it grows. Quickly. Living to tell the tale

Bonus Points For
* Understanding...
o Contech/proptech
o Audio signal processing
* Extra experience from being a hardware engineer in a former life

Wow, looks like you're still reading.
