Firmware Engineer

Founded by ex-Apple Product and Engineering leaders, ASSA ABLOY Level is redefining the smart home with technology that is simple, intuitive, useful, and invisible. At ASSA ABLOY Level, we take a unique approach to designing products - one that shifts focus from what we make to how we make it and who we make it for. It’s an approach that results in elegant and unique solutions, raising the bar for the entire smart home ecosystem.
 
Now part of the ASSA ABLOY family, a global leader in access solutions, ASSA ABLOY Level is positioned to accelerate innovation and expand our reach even further. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver world-class smart home experiences while maintaining the vision and design excellence that have always set us apart.

About the role:
 

We’re looking for a Firmware Engineer to join us in our Redwood City headquarters. In this role, you’ll be writing and implementing embedded software for our consumer smart lock and access control products. Our teams are on the smaller side, so engineers at ASSA ABLOY Level are able to take significant ownership and solve challenging problems directly. You’ll be working alongside experienced engineers and designers who’ve come from some of the most recognizable technology companies in the world, so you can expect to learn from the best while also leaving your mark on the products we build.

Responsibilities:
 

• Write and test embedded software in C & C++, making sure it’s well-crafted, well-tested, readable, and maintainable

• Collaborate across engineering teams to help us create tightly integrated hardware and software features for a unified IoT stack

• Develop internal tools and features that improve testing and manufacturability of our products

Required Qualifications:

• 3+ years of embedded software development experience, preferably using C or C++ (if you have less or more experience, but are curious about this role, we'd still encourage you to apply!)

• Solid computer science fundamentals along with practical software development skills, prioritizing testability and reusability

• Ability to take ownership and work independently, collaborate across different engineering disciplines, and learn new technologies and skills quickly

• Experience using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers

• A strong interest in the types of products we specialize in, i.e. smart home and IoT

• Ability to work in our Redwood City, CA office

Nice To Have, But Not Required

• Bare metal firmware coding experience

• Experience with ultra-low power hardware platforms

• Proficiency in Real-Time Operating Systems such as FreeRTOS and/or Zephyr

• Experience with embedded Linux

• Knowledge of wireless and IoT protocols (BLE, Zigbee, and/or WiFi)

More about ASSA ABLOY Level:

When we look around our homes today, we see opportunity. We see “smart” products that lack utility and connected devices that push us further apart. We see consumers with high expectations, current standards set too low, and products that simply fail to deliver.
 
ASSA ABLOY Level is re-inventing the standard. We’re redefining “smart”, to center around thoughtfulness, practicality, and the people who make the problem worth solving. We approach product design with a blank slate, zero assumptions, and an open-mind, because the way a problem is defined sets the stage for its solution. We couple deep expertise with unbridled curiosity, because to us “smart” means simple, intuitive, and useful.
 
We start with empathy, take new perspectives, and challenge existing standards. People are at the heart of what we do, and respecting their style, choices, and preferences is the first step to uncovering a thoughtful solution that truly improves their daily lives. After all, we’re not just designing products for a house, we are designing them for the people who make it a home.

At ASSA ABLOY, we believe our greatest asset is our people, and we strive for competitive compensation plans to attract the best talent. The salary range for this position is $110k-$260k + bonus. The salary range provided is a good faith estimate of what our ideal candidates are likely to expect, and we take into consideration a broad scope of factors, including but not limited to: skill sets, experience and training, education, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs. In addition, we provide a comprehensive benefits package and paid time off.

 
ASSA ABLOY Level is an Equal Opportunity Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, disability or genetic information, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
