Job Description
BURN is looking to hire a highly skilled and motivated Embedded Systems Engineer to develop and maintain embedded software for innovative clean cooking products. The successful candidate will be hands-on in designing, implementing, and testing firmware for microcontroller-based systems, collaborating closely with hardware engineers, test engineers, and cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, reliable products that meet functional requirements and regulatory standards.
Design, develop, and maintain firmware for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers (particularly STM32 series) ensuring code meets performance, power consumption, and memory constraints.
Working knowledge of communication protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and at least one wireless protocol (BLE, Wi-Fi, or LoRa).
