Associate Firmware Engineer (Entry/Mid Level)

At Copeland’s Cold Chain Division, we don’t move or sell food directly—but we make sure the businesses that do can keep food and medicine fresh, safe, and available around the globe. Our mission is simple: keep critical goods at the right temperature, track every step of the journey, and do it all in the most sustainable way possible.

We’re looking for a Firmware Engineer to join our team. This is a great opportunity for a new graduate or an engineer early in their career (2–5 years of experience). You’ll work on real-world problems, design and develop embedded firmware, and contribute to solutions that help feed people and protect medicines worldwide.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and debug embedded firmware in C/C++ for real products.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and project teams to bring ideas from concept to launch.
• Participate in architecture discussions to build scalable and maintainable firmware.
• Support customers during development and product lifecycle, helping solve real-world challenges.
• Contribute ideas for new features, cost-saving opportunities, and product improvements.
• Work with global teams and learn from experienced engineers.
• (Optional as you grow) Mentor peers and contribute to product safety and security practices.

What We’re Looking For

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or similar. Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered.
• Experience:
• Hands-on class projects, internships, or up to ~5 years of industry experience in embedded firmware.
• Solid programming skills in C/C++.
• Familiarity with software development lifecycles and good coding practices.
• Bonus skills: Experience with Linux OS, product security, or embedded system testing.
• Authorization to work in the U.S. without sponsorship (now or in the future).

Why Join Us

• Work on technology that directly impacts how food and medicine are delivered around the world.
• Be part of a collaborative, global team where your ideas matter.
• Gain exposure to both technical design and real customer interaction.
• Grow your skills—whether you’re fresh out of school or have a few years of experience, you’ll be challenged and supported.
• Competitive pay, benefits, and opportunities to advance your career.
