Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain embedded software across the full stack—from embedded Linux to bare metal to RTOS—while navigating real-world constraints of power budgets, connectivity limitations, thermal management, and compute trade-offs
Provide technical direction and architectural guidance to the firmware team on embedded systems design, testing, and deployment patterns
Support devices in production through remote diagnostics, root cause analysis, and collaboration with field operations teams to resolve issues
Design firmware and systems that enable reliable manufacturing test, artifact capture, production validation, fleet updates, and release processes
Collaborate with hardware, DevOps, Quality, and data teams to ensure seamless integration between edge devices and backend systems
Build familiarity with the codebase, architecture, and documentation—understand how the system is structured, why decisions were made, and how real-world constraints play out in our systems
Learn existing test and deployment patterns and the tools that support them, including system architecture schematics showing software and hardware interactions
Contribute bug fixes and minor features to active development efforts
Own end-to-end delivery of a feature or capability that unlocks new product functionality (computer vision pipeline, IMU integration, or environmental sensor integration)
Take ownership of a piece of the release process or fleet management capability with increasing independence
Routinely connect with Quality and Field Operations teams to understand issues affecting the fleet, owning bugfixes and reliability improvements
Drive architectural improvements to embedded software systems that enhance fleet reliability metrics or reduce field support incidents
Define and implement technical strategy for unlocking hardware capabilities (computer vision, sensor integration, advanced telemetry) that directly support the product roadmap
Shape team practices around documentation, code review standards, testing methodologies, and how the team collaborates across functions while mentoring junior engineers

Qualification

Embedded software developmentC/C++ programmingEmbedded LinuxRTOS experienceIoT device managementEmbedded debugging toolsCommunication skillsCritical thinkingProblem-solving

Required

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience with evidence of exceptional ability
3+ years of experience writing production software for embedded targets across bare-metal, RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar), and embedded Linux environments with strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python
Hands-on experience with embedded debugging and diagnostic tools (JTAG debuggers, GDB, profilers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) and industry-standard build systems, automated testing, and deployment patterns
Ability to troubleshoot systems across hardware and software boundaries, working effectively with electrical engineers and hardware teams
Strong communication skills to collaborate across departments and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred

Experience designing and managing IoT device fleets at scale—over-the-air (OTA) updates, remote diagnostics, fleet health monitoring, and connectivity management
Track record of bringing embedded products from design through manufacturing, including manufacturing test development and production validation
Practical mindset that balances technical excellence with shipping constraints—able to incrementally improve existing systems rather than requiring ground-up redesigns
Experience with Yocto/OpenEmbedded or similar embedded Linux build frameworks, cellular connectivity protocols (LTE/LTE-M/NB-IoT), or low-power system design
Familiarity with embedded computer vision processing, image capture pipelines, or edge ML inference

Benefits

Trust-based PTO
Flexible hybrid work schedule
