An exciting opportunity is available for an Embedded Firmware Engineer to join a multidisciplinary engineering team developing advanced robotic systems and electromechanical hardware for mission-critical applications across defence, aerospace and space. This role offers the chance to work on products that combine embedded software with complex hardware, giving engineers ownership from firmware development through to system integration and testing.
Responsibilities include:
- Developing embedded firmware, drivers and low-level software
- Bringing up and integrating electromechanical systems including motors, actuators and sensors
- Supporting PCB bring-up alongside hardware engineers
- Translating hardware requirements into embedded software solutions
- Debugging hardware and firmware issues in the lab
- Contributing to software testing, validation and firmware deployment
- Working across the full product development lifecycle
Basic Qualifications:
Engineers with experience in the following are encouraged to apply:
- Embedded C/C++ development in Linux environments
- C++, Python and embedded firmware development
- RTOS and/or ROS
- Communication protocols including CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, EtherCAT and Ethernet
- Motor control, sensors, actuators and robotics
- Git, CI/CD and software testing
- Oscilloscopes, soldering and hardware debugging
- Robotics, aerospace, defence or other embedded systems environments
Experience with spaceflight hardware, avionics, radiation-hardened electronics or other safety-critical systems would be highly beneficial.
LOCATION: Webster, Texas
Due to project requirements, applicants must be eligible to work under ITAR regulations.

Entry Level Firmware Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level firmware job?
Focus on building hands-on experience through personal projects, coursework labs, or internships involving embedded systems, microcontrollers, or real-time operating systems. Employers at this level look for candidates who can demonstrate practical C or C++ skills, familiarity with debugging tools, and an understanding of hardware-software interaction. A GitHub portfolio showing working firmware projects gives you a concrete edge over candidates with no demonstrated output.
Which companies hire entry level firmwares?
Companies hiring entry level firmwares right now include Neuralink, NEURALINK, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise | HPE, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level covers consumer electronics manufacturers, automotive suppliers, defense contractors, and semiconductor companies, many of which run structured new-hire programs designed to onboard candidates directly from university or bootcamp backgrounds.
Are there remote entry level firmware jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles make up the majority at this experience level. About 4% of entry level firmware openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that many teams prefer new engineers in-person for hands-on hardware access and mentorship. Searching by location preference on Migrate Mate lets you filter current openings to match your situation.
Are these new grad firmware jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior firmware roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward the requirement, or explicitly accepts a strong portfolio in place of professional history. Searching for "new grad" or "junior" alongside firmware surfaces these roles directly.
Which industries hire the most entry level firmwares?
Entry level firmware roles concentrate in Science & Research, Technology & Software, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they depend heavily on embedded software for product development cycles, creating consistent demand for junior engineers who can write, test, and debug firmware close to the hardware layer.
