Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.\nOur cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.\nWe're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.\nAt Ambiq, we live by five values: Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.\nIf that's you, join us - the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.\nScope \nAs a Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Ambiq, you will lead the development, integration, and verification of the AmbiqSuite SDK for common IP blocks across Ambiq’s advanced SoC and emulation platforms.\nIn this role, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional experts throughout the IC development lifecycle, including SoC Architecture, IC Design, Production, Applications, and Customer Enablement teams. Your work will play a key role in enabling customers to successfully develop and deploy products on Ambiq’s latest SoC platforms.\nThe successful candidate should be a fast learner, results-driven, self-motivated, and collaborative team player with an “always learning” mindset. You should bring strong hands-on experience in low-level embedded C programming and be comfortable working in a lab environment, performing hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation.\nThis role is responsible for extending the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and device drivers within the SDK to support new platforms, while continuously improving SDK features, quality, and content. You will also contribute to expanding SDK support for new MCU family members as they are introduced.\nResponsibilities \nLead the design, development, and maintenance of HAL interfaces for MCU common blocks, including data movement engines, clock management, power management, and MCU control.\nDesign, develop, and maintain software examples and test cases for MCU common blocks.\nPlay a key role in pre-silicon verification on FPGA platforms and in post-silicon bring-up, verification, and debug, focusing on MCU cores and common blocks.\nDevelop and maintain real-time operating system ports for Ambiq MCUs.\nCollaborate with and support design verification (DV) and validation engineers, field engineers, and key customers as needed.\nQualifications \nThe Senior Embedded Software Engineer should have strong experience in the design, development, and use of HAL and BSP libraries for MCU-based products. Experience with embedded applications for wearable devices is preferred. The ideal candidate will also have extensive hands-on experience developing for and debugging on Arm-based platforms.\nMS in Electrical and Computer Engineering or Computer Science, or other related field with 3-5 years of relevant experience, or Bachelor’s degree in the same fields with 4-6 years of relevant experience.\nDeep understanding of Arm Cortex-M architectures.\nProven experience developing embedded MCU software in C and assembly for Arm Cortex-M processors.\nStrong understanding of embedded RTOS concepts and development; FreeRTOS experience preferred.\nExperience with at least one MCU IDE for ARM, such as Keil, IAR, Eclipse, Ozone, or equivalent.\nSolid understanding of common MCU peripherals and interfaces, such as SPI, I2C, UART, etc.\nHands-on experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers for system bring-up and debugging.\nExperience with Jira, Confluence, and other collaboration tools.\nProficiency with source code version control systems, including Git.\nGood understanding of software testing and test automation principles.\nStrong problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug complex system-level hardware and software issues.\nExperience with scripting languages is required; Python experience is highly desirable.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, along with solid technical documentation ability.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4516,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","Edge AI","Analog & Power Semiconductors"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-11T10:27:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":105,"reasons":["conf:5","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T20:32:41Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ambiq-senior-embedded-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ambiq-senior-embedded-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T20:32:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":40088,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":179334},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=179334"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fambiq-senior-embedded-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fambiq-senior-embedded-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fambiq-senior-embedded-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ambiq-senior-embedded-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fambiq-senior-embedded-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4064238}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ambiq.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4064238},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
