Job Description

Position: Senior Embedded Engineer

Location: New Castle, Delaware

Compensation: Around $150,000 + Excellent Benefits

We’ve partnered with a world-renowned manufacturer of precision instruments that’s building out their next generation of scientific and laboratory-grade equipment. They’re now looking for a Senior Embedded Firmware/Software Engineer to take on a hands-on role developing the low-level firmware that drives these high-performance systems.

This is a great opportunity for an engineer who thrives in close-to-the-metal development—working directly with sensors, motors, and control systems in a real-time environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers
• Work in bare-metal and RTOS-based environments
• Interface directly with hardware: sensors, ADCs/DACs, motors, and control logic
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and software teams throughout product development
• Conduct thorough debugging, validation, and testing of firmware on hardware prototypes

What They’re Looking For:

• Strong hands-on experience with embedded firmware development (bare-metal and/or RTOS)
• Proficiency in C/C++ and deep understanding of microcontroller architecture
• Solid grasp of real-time constraints, interrupt service routines, and low-level debugging tools
• Comfortable working with I2C, SPI, UART, and other hardware-level interfaces

Why It’s a Great Fit:

• Play a critical role in developing firmware for industry-leading lab instrumentation
• Work for a well-established company known for engineering excellence and product reliability
• Join a collaborative, technically driven team where your expertise will have a direct impact

Perks & Benefits:

• Competitive salary targeting ~$150,000
• 401(k) with 6% company match — fully vested from day one
• Excellent PTO plan: 3+ weeks vacation, 11 paid holidays, and 56 hours of sick time annually
• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees from day one
• Optional HSA/FSA plans and affordable dependent coverage
• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance

If you're interested in getting involved in high-precision, high-impact engineering, this could be a standout opportunity.
