Want to challenge yourself in rewarding IT projects within talented people who love music, food, board games and… their office (where they enjoy all the prior)?

Hello! Let’s get to know each other!

Enable Startup is a one-stop IT solution provider based in Da Nang, Vietnam. Founded in 2016 on genuine passion for technologies, we have since then embarked relentlessly on 50+ projects with 30+ global businesses of all shapes and sizes across 12 countries. Those challenging yet rewarding endeavors have honed our technical skills to fulfill world-class standards, while complementing our delivery capacities with solid industrial know-hows and best practices.
We specialize in IoT, Embedded Systems, and Custom Software Development, combining world-class engineering standards with practical industry know-how.
Our 40+ team members share a love for innovation, problem-solving, and creating real impact — plus, we happen to enjoy good food, music, and board games together.

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Lead (Firmware & Embedded Systems) to lead our IoT engineering team. You’ll be the technical backbone behind our embedded projects — building reliable firmware, guiding engineers, and shaping our IoT technology roadmap.
This is a hands-on leadership role (around 80% coding, 20% leadership).
You’ll work closely with the Head of Engineering and CEO to design systems, enforce standards, and mentor the next generation of embedded engineers.

What you’ll do

  • Contact potential partners to establish rapport and arrange meetings.
  • Lead firmware development on platforms like ESP32, STM32, Teensy, PSOC, and other MCUs.
  • Implement and optimize low-power embedded systems for sensor, BLE, and IoT applications.
  • Design modular and scalable code architecture (RTOS-based, HAL abstraction, etc.).
  • Drive debugging, hardware bring-up, and performance tuning.
  • Review code, enforce best practices, and maintain documentation.
  • Mentor 4–6 engineers (firmware, hardware, test).
  • Plan sprint deliverables and ensure on-time project execution.
  • Collaborate with Cloud and Hardware teams for system integration.
  • Work closely with the Head of Engineering on technical decisions and roadmap planning.
  • Support pre-sales estimation and technical proposals when needed.

Is it YOU we are looking for?

Must Have
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in firmware/embedded systems.
  • Strong in BLE, low-power design, and RTOS-based development.
  • Solid understanding of electronics and schematics.
  • Proven ability to lead small teams or mentor engineers.
  • Good English communication skills (technical discussion level).
  • Strong sense of ownership, discipline, and structure.
Nice-to-have
  • Experience with IoT frameworks (ESP-IDF, Zephyr, FreeRTOS).
  • Prior work in international or multi-client environments.
  • MSc or equivalent advanced degree.

Why you’d love working with us

  • Competitive compensation package, including quarterly & annual bonuses, and health insurance.
  • Flexible, non-hierarchical culture with little-to-no overtime (and if it happens — it’s paid).
  • Personal growth roadmap and dedicated mentorship for every team member.
  • Work with cutting-edge IoT technologies, sensors, smart devices, edge computing, and beyond.
  • Be part of a company that values creativity, integrity, collaboration, and kindness.

Our process is short and sweet!

  • We screen your application carefully and contact you within two weeks.
  • If you pass the CV round, up-to-2 interviews are all that’s left!
