YOUR DAILY IMPACT AT PELOTON
Craft high-performance firmware for bare-metal and embedded OS environments, ensuring seamless integration between custom hardware and Android services
Implement robust device-to-cloud communication (MQTT, CoAP, HTTP) and manage wireless stacks including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread
Safeguard our products by implementing encryption, secure boot, and secure firmware updates to protect user data and device authenticity
Develop custom tools for software, hardware, and QA teams, conducting rigorous unit tests and automated scripts to ensure flawless functionality
Utilize logic analyzers, JTAG probes, and oscilloscopes to diagnose and resolve complex firmware issues in production environments
Partner with Project Managers in Agile/Scrum settings to define requirements, architect software solutions, and plan high-impact sprints
Drive excellence through active participation in product design reviews, code reviews, and detailed documentation
Contribute to broad-scale brainstorming sessions and communicate technical progress clearly to both internal teams and external stakeholders
YOU BRING TO PELOTON
4+ years of professional firmware development, specifically with ARM Cortex-M or similar low-power platforms
Mastery of C programming, RTOS environments (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), and multithreaded programming
Deep understanding of communication standards like UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and USB, alongside networking and wireless concepts
Expert-level familiarity with Git-based workflows (Gerrit, GitHub) and a keen interest in leveraging AI-driven tools to boost code quality
While C is your home, you have functional skills (or an interest) in Java, Kotlin, Bash, or Python
A proactive, detail-oriented approach with the curiosity to master new technologies as project needs evolve
The ability to translate complex technical challenges into actionable insights for the wider team
A degree in Engineering or equivalent practical experience in the field
