Sr. Firmware Engineer

About Ommo

Ommo is the pioneer of permanent magnet–based 3D tracking technology, building a next-generation tracking platform based on magnetic sensing. Our technology enables ultra-precise, real-time 6DOF tracking for millimeter-scale wireless sensors, up to 1,000 times per second with accuracy down to 0.1mm, without line-of-sight constraints. We partner with medical device OEMs and advanced technology companies developing surgical navigation, robotics, simulation, spatial intelligence, and human-machine interface systems.

We are seeking an experienced and driven Sr. Firmware Engineer to play a key role in building and scaling the core embedded systems behind our platform. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in low-level development, enjoys solving complex system-level problems, and takes pride in writing efficient, maintainable firmware that moves from prototype to production. You’ll help shape our firmware architecture, establish scalable development processes, and collaborate closely with our mechanical, software, and product teams to bring highly precise hardware systems to life. If you’re excited by challenging technical problems and want to have real ownership in a fast-moving environment, we’d love to hear from you
