Midjourney is an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species. We are a small self-funded team focused on design, human infrastructure, and AI.
The Firmware Engineer is responsible for owning the embedded software that brings our hardware to life: from bare-metal bring-up and peripheral integration through power optimization and production firmware.

The Firmware Engineer will also support manufacturing through factory firmware, calibration routines, and end-of-line test development. The candidate must be self-motivated and enjoy working in a dynamic, hands-on environment. This is a full-time, on-site position based in San Francisco, CA.
