Job Description

Revelyst, is a collective of makers who design and manufacture performance gear and precision technologies. Our category-defining brands leverage meticulous craftsmanship and cross-collaboration to pursue innovation and redefine what is humanly possible in the outdoors.

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Firmware Engineer to design and develop high-performance, real-time systems for cutting-edge camera-based sports equipment. This position combines expertise in embedded firmware, real-time performance optimization to meet the precision and speed demands of an industry-leading product. You will work closely with hardware engineers, systems engineers, and QA teams to bring innovative solutions to life.

This position reports to the Firmware Engineer RT Supervisor, and is based out of our San Diego office.This role is currently based in San Diego but will be moving to our new, state‑of‑the‑art Golf Technology headquarters in Carlsbad, CA. The move will roll out in phases across 2026, beginning with initial team moves in June and continuing throughout the year.

As the Senior Firmware Engineer, you will have an opportunity to:

• Collaborate with hardware engineers, system architects, and application developers to integrate firmware with other systems.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, providing technical leadership and support in firmware development and real-time systems design.
• Perform rigorous debugging, optimization, and testing to ensure reliability, robustness, and fault tolerance of embedded systems.

You have:

• 6+ years of experience in embedded systems development, with a focus on real-time, performance-critical applications.
• Mastery in bare metal/real-time development using C/C++ for embedded systems.
• Proven experience interfacing with components such as DDR, Flash Memory, I2C, SPI, RTOS, LVDS, and timing, and understanding their interactions in real-time systems
• Experience in performance-critical applications, such as high data rate or low latency scenarios.
• Experience in hardware debugging, including JTAG and other diagnostic tools.
• Strong understanding of real-time systems and performance metrics such as latency, throughput, and timing constraints in embedded applications.

Strongly desired:

• FPGA design and development using Xilinx toolset (VHDL/Verilog), with experience in designing for Xilinx Zynq, Versal, or Artix SoCs.
• Develop and optimize embedded firmware and FPGA logic for high-speed, precision camera-based systems in a real-time environment.
• Familiarity with Vitis/Vivado toolchain and hardware-software co-design.
• Experience in image processing, machine vision, or similar domains, including filters, transforms, convolution kernels, and algorithm optimization for embedded systems.
• Strong background in algorithm development for real-time computer vision or signal processing, with a focus on performance optimization.
• Advanced knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP) design and software engineering best practices.
• Extensive experience working with bare metal microcontrollers in time-critical applications.
• Familiarity with performance benchmarking tools and optimization techniques for embedded systems.
• Comfortable in Linux environments, particularly for managing embedded Linux systems alongside real-time processors.

Minimum education required:

• Bachelors degree
