Senior Firmware Engineer - Secure Boot / Embedded Systems

We are partnered with a fast growing semiconductor start-up in the Netherlands working on cutting-edge secure CPU technologies. The team is looking to bring on a skilled Firmware Engineer. You’ll play a key role in developing high-performance, secure firmware for next-generation products, covering the full development lifecycle — from pre-silicon validation to post-silicon bring-up.

This is a permanent opportunity based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Key Responsibilities for this Senior Firmware Engineer position:

• Develop and debug firmware for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers and peripherals.
• Build reliable, maintainable code and APIs that adhere to strong software design principles.
• Contribute to pre- and post-silicon validation and system bring-up.
• Collaborate with hardware, architecture, and cross-functional teams to optimize system performance.
• Implement secure firmware features, including secure boot and embedded security mechanisms.
• Integrate IoT and networking stacks (TCP/IP, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Matter, Thread) for connected devices.

Key Requirements:

• 5+ years of firmware development experience in embedded systems.
• Strong expertise with ARM Cortex-M processors and peripherals.
• Experience with unit testing, firmware validation, and both pre- and post-silicon development.
• Solid understanding of API design, maintainable code, and software architecture principles.
• Hands-on experience with IoT/networking stacks (TCP/IP, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Matter, Thread).
