Full Job Description

About Armaments Research Company Armaments Research Company (ARC) is a technology company dedicated to bringing real-time situational awareness and battlefield logistics capabilities to the warfighter. You will be an integral part of the ARC team managing program execution in support of our innovative and powerful IoT devices to enhance national security. Our core offering is the ARC AI-Enabled Weapons Sensor (AEWS), which collects and transmits real-time tactical data to the cloud. This information enables battlefield/tactical awareness and aggregated insights into big data sets that do not exist today. ARC technologies were initially developed in partnership with DARPA and the National Science Foundation and leverage internet-of-things (IoT) technology and machine learning to derive actionable insights and transform operational responses. This novel technology will be deployed at scale to enhance safety, decision-making, and sustainment for the warfighter at the tactical edge. What You'll Do ARC is looking for an experienced firmware engineer to join our team to extend and enhance the capabilities of our Internet of Things (IoT) sensors with ML-edge processing. You will be building and developing ARC’s IoT sensor devices, leveraging an ARC designed microprocessor platform to characterize and enhance performance of numerous MEMS-based components. Because you will be joining a startup, there are many opportunities to expand beyond your core skills set if desired. You will be part of a high caliber team dedicated to both mission and advancing ground-breaking technology. Role Responsibilities - How You Will Make an Impact Break down system and product requirements into a firmware design and implement it for the ARC product lines Work with the product team to define and characterize performance metrics for sensor components Iteratively improve user-experience concerns around accuracy, stability, and calibration of MEMS sensors Support firmware development and optimizat
