At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.
Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.
As a Sr. Firmware Engineer I on the Platform Firmware team, you are a project technical leader. You lead the technical execution of career-defining programs — from Board Support Package (BSP) development to next-generation Robotics and Camera-based products — setting quality standards, guiding peers, and managing dependencies across Firmware, Electrical Engineering, and other embedded teams.
Our firmware environments primarily use Embedded Linux on SoCs/SoMs, with Embedded Android and RTOS-based microcontrollers used across some product lines. Depending on the program, you may work with C, C++, Rust, Golang, or Python.
You own full projects or major portions of a multi-engineer project, exercising independent technical judgment across the entire project lifecycle. You build deep expertise in your domain, begin influencing roadmap and architectural decisions, and navigate ambiguity with minimal supervision — coordinating effectively across contributors and stakeholders to get complex, cross-team work done.
Work Location: This role is based out of our Ho Chi Minh City office and follows a hybrid schedule: onsite Tuesday through Friday and remote on Mondays, unless an approved accommodation applies. We place a high value on in-person collaboration and building a strong in-office culture.
Travel: Firmware engineering requires hands-on collaboration with Hardware Engineering. While the role is remote near a Local Axon Hub, travel obligations for board bring-up, hardware validation, and manufacturing support are required during critical build milestones. We forecast a modest amount of travel over an 18-month period; the remainder of time is discretionary between home and office.
Reports to: Engineering Manager, Platform Firmware
Direct Reports: None

You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
