Omen is building a radically new approach to sensing and perception - pushing the boundaries of physics, hardware, and AI. We're redefining what machines can see, sense, and understand. As we scale up development of our next-generation sensor systems, we're looking for an exceptional Embedded/Firmware Engineer to take ownership of core system software across hardware and cloud-integrated platforms.What You'll Do
  • Lead the design, architecture, and development of embedded firmware for advanced sensor systems.
  • Own the full firmware lifecycle - from board bring-up to production-ready systems.
  • Build and maintain scalable, reliable embedded codebases in C/C and Python.
  • Design robust testing frameworks and execute comprehensive test plans.
  • Work hands-on with hardware to debug, validate, and optimize performance.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and AI teams to ensure tight integration across the stack.
  • Drive performance improvements, low-power optimization, and wireless communication handling.
  • Guide risk assessments and ensure quality standards across all embedded components.
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar - or equivalent experience with a track record of exceptional performance.
  • 5+ years of professional experience in embedded systems or firmware development.
  • Mastery of C/C , and working proficiency in Python or another scripting language.
  • Proven ability to ship complex hardware-integrated products from prototype to production.
  • Deep understanding of embedded software principles, source control, and documentation workflows.
Bonus Experience
  • Debugging and testing directly with hardware in real-world environments.
  • Low-power wireless protocols and RF systems.
  • Driver development for new or unconventional sensors.
  • Integration of embedded systems with cloud services (e.g., AWS IoT).
