Platform Firmware supports all of Axon's Camera-based products, key ownership of the Cellular LTE Link, Automated Test Systems for organizational Engineering Excellence, and is always at the fore-front of Innovation with Hardware Engineering for new programs. Firmware development environments primarily include Embedded Linux (C, C++, Golang, Yocto) and RTOS on Microcontrollers (C). Rust is being explored. Solve very challenging Firmware problems while applying Data Structure and Object Oriented thinking to build infrastructure APIs used by Axon's Embedded Product teams.
The Platform Firmware team is hiring because there are career-defining, new innovative product-line programs being started in 2024 and 2025. These new programs synthesize all of Axon's technologies and core competencies into what will be revolutionary offerings for our Customers. New team(s) are being built-out with a bias towards Central-Eastern USA to overlap with our teams in Western Europe. In addition, there is always innovative new work to be done on everything the Platform Firmware team supports.
