About the Company

SPARK Microsystems offers a unique and innovative UWB wireless chips transmitter-receiver technology that delivers energy efficiency and latency of an order of magnitude better than the state of the art. Our goal is to significantly extend the battery life of electronic systems that require short-range wireless communications, as well as increase the robustness and agility of their wireless connections. If you are dynamic, motivated, and ready to have a fulfilling and thrilling professional experience in a unique start-up, we want to talk to you!

About the Role

As a Senior Embedded SW Developer within SPARK Microsystems, you will be required to design, develop and maintain firmware covering our various embedded system applications and this includes network protocols, core libraries as well as application development. You will play a key role in defining systems architecture and mentoring junior developers. You will design, implement, and test firmware to form optimal communications wireless networks using the extremely low power wireless transceivers developed by SPARK Microsystems. This includes developing low power wireless sensor networks in point-to-point, star, and mesh configurations, as well as efficient point-to-point links for audio streaming applications. The selected candidate will be responsible for developing efficient firmware to support these applications, as well as a graphical user interface for each system that allows users to control the flow of information in the wireless system.

Opportunity to coach and mentor more junior Engineers.

Qualifications

B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent
10+ years of experience in embedded application development in C and C++
7+ years of experience in low level C programming on microcontrollers / microprocessors, with advanced knowledge of MCU / CPU architectures and ecosystems

Required Skills

Full-stack system-level understanding and ability to comprehend and affect an improvement to multi-disciplinary processes of RF/PHY/L1/L2
Good understanding and debug capabilities of a mixed HW/FW multi-processor PHY/L1 implementation.
Designed and implemented security features for embedded devices, including secure boot, firmware integrity checks and secure firmware update mechanisms (code signing, rollback protection, encrypted images)
Proven grasp of complex wireless systems with strong capability to comprehend dependencies between system components and protocol layers and their interactions.
Extensive hands-on SW programming skills for modeling and simulation of sophisticated systems from RF/PHY layer signals and channel modeling. All the way to MAC protocol/networking simulations.
Experience with and/or knowledge of industry standards such as Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband, GPS, and/or other wireless protocols.
Ability to work efficiently with both Linux and Windows
Excellent oral and written communications and presentation skills (French and English)

Preferred Skills

Ability to work effectively with a team of developers
Ability to multi-task, set project priorities, establish task focused goals and objectives for self and show initiative
Write clean, understandable, robust, and sustainable code tailored for embedded systems
Experience with Visual Studio Code and Eclipse IDE
