Firmware Engineer (Rust) at ARC ENT
Overview
You will own the firmware for a new high-frequency power conversion system at a venture-backed hardware startup in San Francisco. You will write Rust on resource-constrained microcontrollers, design control loops that run in real time, and build the test infrastructure that validates hardware. You will debug with an oscilloscope as often as a debugger, working close to switching hardware. This role stands out because you will shape the software from the ground up and see it ship in a physical product.
What You'll Do7
- 1Write Rust firmware for microcontrollers with tight memory and timing budgets.
- 2Design and validate high-frequency power electronics control loops on real switching hardware.
- 3Build the software integration for automated hardware test suites.
- 4Develop test fixtures for the manufacturing line to ensure production quality.
- 5Debug complex issues using both logic analyzers and debuggers.
- 6Own the full firmware lifecycle from requirements to deployment.
- 7Collaborate with electrical engineers to align firmware with hardware capabilities.
Requirements7
- 1Rust programming experience.
- 2Strong firmware fundamentals, including interrupts, timers, and memory management.
- 3Experience with control systems or digital signal processing.
- 4Ability to work with embedded toolchains and debuggers.
- 5Experience with power electronics or motor control is a plus.
- 6Ability to learn quickly and adapt to new challenges.
- 7Resilience in a fast-paced startup environment.
