Your Impact
Contribute to IoT Device-level Firmware Infrastructure as part of the Platform Firmware organization and advance Axon’s mission to Protect Life and Capture Truth in the Moment. Platform Firmware supports all of Axon’s Camera-based products, their accessory products and contributes to advancing Automated Test Systems for organizational Engineering Excellence.
This role is primarily focused on the commercialization of a Brand New IoT Product-line for Axon as a (Sr.) Firmware Engineer. This new investment drives the build-out of a new sub-team comprised of multiple Firmware Developers of multiple Career Levels and a Firmware Engineering Manager within the Platform Firmware organization for commercialization of the product concept through 2026 and beyond. Product is comprised of multiple components with multiple Microcontrollers, SoMs, and Cellular LTE.
Firmware development environments primarily include a combination of Microcontrollers (C), Embedded Linux (C, C++, Yocto) and custom Automated Test Equipment. Real-time constraints may be involved for specific use-cases. Solve very challenging Firmware problems while applying Data Structure and Object Oriented thinking to build infrastructure APIs used by Axon’s Embedded Product teams.
