We are seeking a highly experienced Firmware Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience in embedded audio software development, including Bluetooth audio, low-power design, and audio signal processing. This is a critical role in our hardware-software co-development team, where your expertise will directly impact the performance and user experience of our AR / VR smart glasses and immersive systems.
In this role, you will work on Bluetooth audio protocols, embedded DSP optimization, noise cancellation algorithms, and real-time streaming pipelines, while collaborating closely with hardware, product, and design teams. Your work will drive the core embedded intelligence of AjnaLens' next-generation devices.
Top 3 Daily Tasks :
- Develop and optimize embedded audio firmware using C / C++, ensuring efficient performance, low power consumption, and real-time audio processing.
- Work on Bluetooth audio protocols (A2DP, AVRCP, HFP), BLE profiles (HAP, TMAP, HAS, PBP), and audio codec integration (SBC, AAC, aptX, LC3).
- Collaborate with hardware and systems teams to integrate microphones, speakers, amplifiers, and other peripherals via interfaces such as I2S, UART, and SPI.
- Full-Stack Awareness : While your primary focus will be firmware and embedded systems, awareness of system-level software integration, cloud / BLE connectivity, and app-level coordination will be a plus in delivering robust end-to-end Have :
- Strong command of Embedded C / C++, including memory management, real-time programming, and hardware abstraction.
- Deep understanding of Bluetooth architecture, audio profiles (A2DP, AVRCP, HFP), BLE features (HAP, TMAP, HAS), and advanced
Bluetooth technologies like Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Angle of Departure (AoD).
Hands-on experience with audio codecs : SBC, AAC, aptX, and LC3.Familiarity with noise reduction techniques such as ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) and ANC (Active Noise Cancellation).Proficiency with tools and methods for debugging, testing, and performance optimization of embedded To Have :Working with embedded Linux or RTOS-based environments.Integrating Bluetooth stacks from Nordic (nRF52), Qualcomm (CSR), or Broadcom chipsets.Handling audio streaming, buffer management, latency reduction, and audio quality assurance.Bluetooth sniffing and traffic analysis using tools like Ellisys, Frontline, or similar.Audio quality testing : Evaluating latency, jitter, and fidelity across Bluetooth audio profiles.Power optimization and low-power system design for wearable / portable applications.Working in Agile teams, using Git, CI / CD, and writing clear technical documentation and test automation scripts.(ref : hirist.tech)
