# Junior Embedded Engineer (RTOS)

The Opportunity Lumai's hardware needs software that runs reliably at the very bottom of the stack. The accelerator is moving from prototype toward production and the embedded team is small, so the firmware, drivers and RTOS control work underneath sits on the critical path. This is a junior hire into a team where bring-up is a shared, hands-on job. The Role You will build the firmware, drivers and RTOS-based control software that bring the accelerator up and keep it deterministic. That means RTOS tasks and inter-process communication for the management software, board support package bring-up from peripheral drivers and boot loaders through to first-boot debugging, and the unit and integration tests that keep it that way. You will work alongside the senior embedded engineer and the hardware teams, and you will document what you find for the people who come after you. What is genuinely hard about this is that the title is junior but the work is not: when a board will not boot you are reading a serial console, a scope and a debugger on custom hardware, where the answer is often that the hardware and the code disagree and nobody has seen the failure before.
