About the Team
The Bluetooth R&D team at Silicon Labs develops and maintains embedded firmware for wireless products across Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The team works on performance-critical, standards-compliant firmware enabling advanced use cases such as audio streaming, HFP calling, and LE Audio, in close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams across multiple global locations.
The Rol
eSilicon Labs is seeking a Senior Software Engineer Embedded Firmware to design and deliver high-quality embedded firmware for resource-constrained wireless systems. This is a hands-on, embedded-centric role requiring deep expertise in real-time firmware development, low-level debugging, and system-level thinking
.Bluetooth experienceparticularly in audio-related use casesis strongly preferred, but the role primarily targets engineers with proven senior-level embedded firmware skills who can quickly ramp on complex wireless stacks and drive technical ownership
.
Key Responsibiliti
- esDesign, implement, and maintain real-time embedded firmware in C/C++ for resource-constrained system
- s.Own complex firmware features from design through implementation, debugging, and releas
- e.Develop timing-critical, performance-sensitive code with strong attention to memory, power, and CPU constraint
- s.Debug complex system-level issues spanning firmware, hardware, and protocol interaction
- s.Contribute to multi-protocol and wireless coexistence (CoEx) solution
- s.Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, and product qualification activitie
- s.Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including systems, PHY/RF, validation, and customer-facing engineering team
- s.Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and contribute to team knowledge sharin
