Embedded C Developer State Machine ESP32 ESP IDF AI-Claude Code User

Job Description

We are seeking a talented Embedded C Programmer to join our engineering team in Casper, Wyoming. In this role, you'll develop robust firmware for ESP32 microcontrollers using the ESP-IDF framework. You'll use structured state machines to build efficient, real-time embedded applications for IoT and automation systems. We are a forward-thinking team and expect our developers to embrace modern AI-assisted development tools — such as Claude Code — to improve productivity, code quality, and problem-solving speed.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain firmware for ESP32 using ESP-IDF in C
• Design modular software architectures using finite state machines
• Integrate with peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, PWM, ADC, etc.)
• Work with FreeRTOS for multitasking, queues, and inter-task communication
• Debug and test firmware using GDB, serial monitors, and lab tools
• Leverage AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate development and code review
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring products from concept to production

Qualifications

Required:

• 3+ years of embedded C programming experience
• 2+ years with ESP32 and ESP-IDF
• Proficient in state machine design and real-time systems
• Familiarity with embedded protocols and peripheral drivers
• Experience with FreeRTOS, Git, and hardware-level debugging
• Willingness and enthusiasm to learn and regularly use AI coding assistants (such as Claude Code) as part of your daily development workflow

Preferred:

• BS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field
• Experience with OTA, BLE, Modbus, Wi-Fi, or MQTT
• Knowledge of ESP-IDF's build system (CMake, Kconfig)
• GitHub/GitLab project or code samples a plus
• Prior experience using AI tools in a development environment

Benefits

• Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses
• Flexible hours
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Career growth in a collaborative, low-bureaucracy environment
