About the role
Forterra in Clarksburg, MD is seeking an embedded software/firmware engineer to sustain and develop next-generation autonomous vehicle hardware. You will write firmware for microcontrollers and microprocessors, bring up new hardware platforms, and collaborate across hardware, systems, and software teams to ensure safety and reliability.
The role requires 3+ years in embedded C/C++, Linux/RTOS, board bring-up, and hands-on debugging with oscilloscopes and JTAG.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
