Head of Hardware & Firmware
Function Mission As the Head of Hardware & Firmware , you will hold total technical leadership over our full hardware solution .
You are responsible for the entire lifecycle of Reckon.ai's hardware—from initial PCB conceptualization and firmware architecture to industrial-scale production.
Your goal is to ensure our hardware acts as a robust, scalable, and software-integrated platform that guarantees industrial reliability and operational excellence in the autonomous retail space.
Key Responsibilities Full-Cycle PCB Architecture: Lead the end-to-end design process, including schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout (multi-layer), prototyping, and hardware validation.
Firmware Excellence: Architect and develop robust firmware in C/C++ (STM32/ESP32).
Implement low-level drivers, smart power management, and fault-tolerance mechanisms (watchdogs, auto-recovery) to ensure 24/7 "always ON" stability.
Software & Platform Synergy: Define technical contracts between firmware and software .
Ensure full support for telemetry, remote diagnostics, and secure OTA (Over-the-Air) updates .
Industrialization & NPI: Lead the transition from prototype to mass production (New Product Introduction).
Work directly with production lines to optimize assembly and resolve technical bottlenecks.
Mechanical & Thermal Integration: Collaborate with mechanical engineering to align electronic design with physical constraints, including heat dissipation, durability, and material synergy.
Technical Roadmap Ownership: Manage hardware project timelines and budgets, including BOM (Bill of Materials) optimization and sourcing of electronic components.
Technical Requirements Experience: 10+ years in electronic hardware development with a focus on industrial electronics and EMI/EMC compliance.
Core Skills: Expert-level PCB design (KiCad or equivalent), analog/digital circuit design, and signal integrity.
Firmware Mastery: Deep proficiency in C/C++ for microcontrollers and integration of communication stacks (I2C, SPI, UART, Modbus, Wireless).
Product Vision: Proven track record in taking complex electrotechnical products from lab prototypes to the factory floor.
Behavioral Profile High degree of autonomy and decisive critical thinking.
A problem-solving mindset focused on robustness and scalability.
Fluent in Portuguese and English (mandatory for technical documentation and international suppliers).
What We Offer Real technical ownership and direct impact on the global product architecture.
The opportunity to build and lead the Hardware & Firmware department from the ground up.
A dynamic environment at the forefront of the autonomous retail revolution.
