Description For Embedded Engineer

Efficient Computer is at the forefront of energy-efficient computing, developing processors that consume 100x less energy than current ultra-low-power solutions. As an Embedded Engineer, you'll be integral to designing and implementing applications for their groundbreaking processor technology. This isn't just a typical firmware role - you'll be involved in pre-silicon testing, post-factory validation, compiler optimization, and SDK development.

The position offers a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge hardware in a highly interdisciplinary environment. You'll be developing applications that demonstrate the capabilities of Efficient's revolutionary technology, working on everything from TinyML implementations to low-level SDK development. The role requires expertise in embedded systems programming, with a focus on C/C++ development and hardware-level debugging.

The company offers a competitive compensation package ranging from $150,000 to $180,000, plus meaningful equity and comprehensive benefits. Efficient Computer maintains a flat hierarchy where impact matters more than titles, promoting a high-trust, high-output environment with significant autonomy and ownership opportunities.

This role is perfect for an experienced embedded systems engineer who wants to push the boundaries of energy-efficient computing. You'll be working on technology that enables perpetual, pervasive intelligence - systems that can run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years. If you're passionate about embedded systems, energy efficiency, and want to be part of shaping the future of computing, this position offers an exceptional opportunity to make a significant impact.
