Senior Embedded Engineer (Hardware + Firmware)

Job Location: Adelaide, SA
 
Here’s the deal
 
We’ve built the first product of its kind for live sport already in stadiums, already generating revenue, and scaling fast. Now we need a hands-on engineer who can own the next hardware + firmware release end to end.
 
What you’ll tackle
  • Take charge of the MCU-based design: schematics, layout, bring-up, test.
  • Drive low-level C development, from board support through to production firmware.
  • Work with founders and field teams to turn game-day feedback into rock-solid features without slipping the schedule.
  • Keep the design docs tidy, the risk list honest, and the build pipeline humming.
Must-haves
  • 5–10 + years shipping embedded products that made it to paying customers.
  • Comfort wearing both hats, electronics design and C firmware.
  • A habit of spotting trade-offs early and calling them out in plain English.
  • Happy to follow a formal process when it matters, and to sprint when the clock is ticking.
  • Deadline-driven, “let’s just get it done” mindset.
  • On-site presence (Adelaide) – this hardware doesn’t debug itself over Zoom.
Nice-to-haves
  • You’ve delivered under tight broadcast or live-event timelines.
  • You’re a sports nut who knows the buzz of a packed stadium.
  • You like mentoring juniors and leaving a trail of clear docs behind you.
Why join
  • Structured bonus: ~AUD 5 k each year for meeting the plan.
  • Upside: uncapped discretionary rewards—our last big push saw the team pocket AUD 20 k each.
  • Direct line to the founders, zero corporate layers, and the thrill of seeing your work on screen before the final whistle.
