Job Description
FIRMWARE ENGINEER
Mesh Optical Technologies was founded on the belief that optical photons will be at the center of advanced technologies in the coming century. Making advanced technology ubiquitous means building at scale, and that's exactly what we're doing at Mesh.
Every unit we ship runs bare-metal firmware that controls link bring-up, signal conditioning, real-time diagnostics, and fault recovery—firmware that must work reliably across thousands of deployed devices. We are seeking a Firmware Engineer to architect and implement the low-level software that pushes our optical hardware to its limits. You will own everything from bootloaders and device initialization to timing-critical signal control, adaptive link training, and production firmware validation.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Architect and implement low-level firmware that controls all aspects of transceiver behavior, including link bring-up, signal conditioning, and real-time diagnostics
- Develop and tune algorithms for automatic eye opening, link training, and adaptive signal optimization under varying conditions
- Design robust boot, initialization, and fail-safe mechanisms, ensuring reliable startup and recovery across thousands of deployed devices
- Own firmware validation and release workflows, including automated test coverage, factory flashing procedures, and traceability of shipped code
- Interface directly with hardware teams to define control schemes for custom silicon, power management, thermal behavior, and I/O signaling
- Continuously optimize for performance, power, and reliability, pushing bare-metal systems to operate at the limits of the hardware platform
