Staff Embedded Systems Engineer
Role Overview
This is a senior-level Staff Embedded Systems Engineer role focused on SoC expertise, where you will lead silicon strategy and selection by evaluating processors from vendors like Qualcomm and TI, and design hardware abstraction layers to minimize vendor lock-in. You will act as the primary technical authority, guiding product roadmaps and porting software across platforms, impacting the company's hardware-software integration and long-term technology decisions.
Perks & Benefits
The role is likely remote or flexible, given the tech focus and lack of specified location, with expectations for collaboration across time zones. It offers career growth through leadership in silicon strategy and influence on product development, in a culture that values deep technical expertise and innovation in senior living technology.
Full Job Description
About Inspiren Inspiren offers the most complete and connected ecosystem in senior living. Founded by Michael Wang, a former Green Beret turned cardiothoracic nurse, Inspiren proves that compassionate care and technology can coexist - bringing peace of mind to residents, families, and staff. Our integrated solutions seamlessly fit into existing workflows, capturing everything happening within a community. Backed by nurse specialists and powerful analytics, we provide the data operators need to make informed clinical and operational decisions - driving efficiency, profitability, and better care outcomes. About the Role We are seeking a high-caliber Staff Embedded Systems Engineer with a specialization in the System-on-Chip (SoC) landscape. You aren't just a firmware developer; you are an architect of hardware-software integration who understands the nuances, pitfalls, and hidden costs of different silicon ecosystems. As our SoC Expert, you will be the primary technical authority for evaluating and abstracting our software stack across various silicon platforms and will guide our product roadmap by leveraging your deep-seated opinions on vendor ecosystems, toolchains, and Board Support Packages (BSPs). What You'll Do
Lead Silicon Strategy & Selection: Lead the evaluation of application processors for next-generation products. Compare performance, power, thermals, and long-term support (LTS) across vendors like Qualcomm, TI, MediaTek, Rockchip, and Analog Devices and provide honest assessments of vendor offerings. You should be able to articulate why one vendor's SDK is superior for our specific use case, or why another's documentation makes them a risky choice. Lead Migration and Porting effort: Design, develop and maintain hardware abstraction layers (HALs) that minimize vendor lock-in, streamline future platform pivots, and enable the migration of existing applications and drivers from one vendor's BSP to another (e.g. porting a product from a MediaTek Genio base to a Qualcomm Snapdragon platform).
