This is an individual contributor role. There is no expectation to manage people or lead a firmware team. This person will: Support current-program firmware execution: state-pattern FSM, HAL boundaries, driver integration, prototype board bring-up, and firmware-test readiness. Partner with the existing senior firmware engineer (program DRI) on near-term delivery; the current DRI remains accountable while this person ramps. Work with a senior firmware architecture advisor on platform standards, architecture review, release hygiene, and cross-team consistency. Grow into broader firmware ownership on follow-on product lines once the current foundation is stable as a senior IC, not as a people manager.
