Build a future-proofed firmware environment to enable global growth

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
- A peerless product. Rapid growth. Well funded. Decades of living as the customer. Hardly problematic, you say. I'm getting to it:
- These folks are poised to go global, but can't get there without advancements across their product line
- The team is sharp, future-forward, and diversely skilled
- 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:
- Skills built in scaling embedded IoT environments
- C/C++, Python, (Free) RTOS - the usual suspects
- "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...
- Contech/proptech
- Audio signal processing
- Extra experience from being a hardware engineer in a former life
