Avery Dennison is hiring a Senior/Lead Firmware Engineer

Are you a hands-on architectural mastermind who thrives at the intersection of bits, bytes, and moving parts? We are seeking a Senior/Lead Firmware Engineer to architect, prototype, and scale the next generation of our market-leading printing solutions. In this role, you won't just be maintaining legacy code—you will be architecting new platforms from scratch for a diverse portfolio of devices, including high-performance tabletop systems, specialized care-label fabric printers, and ultra-mobile handheld devices. You will collaborate deeply with cross-functional teams of electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to turn complex electro-mechanical requirements into seamless, high-performance products that are reliable in the factory and resilient in the field. What You’ll Do (Responsibilities) Design and implement robust, real-time embedded software architectures from the ground up while establishing development best practices across the team. Develop low-level drivers and control algorithms for critical printing peripherals, including stepper/DC motors, thermal print heads, and print engines. Collaborate with hardware and manufacturing teams early in the design cycle to ensure firmware supports efficient factory testing, calibration, and high-yield production. Drive fast-paced prototyping initiatives to validate new product concepts, features, and hardware components while providing strong technical leadership to elevate team capabilities. Design and implement robust telemetry, logging, and remote monitoring frameworks to proactively track device health and diagnose complex system-level bugs in the field. Drive the technical direction, delegate and assign tasks, and elevate the technical capabilities of the entire firmware team.
