Senior Embedded Software Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with practical experience building robust, high-volume software solutions.

You will be writing applications on embedded, IoT devices that provide 3D indoor positioning using RF and communicate to cloud applications for a Bay Area, well-funded startup.

You should have at least 7 years or more of experience as a software engineer. Hands-on experience working with embedded Linux, OpenWRT, QNX, VxWorks, or other RTOS is required.

You should be comfortable with microcontroller peripheral control buses (such as SPI, UART, I2C, JTAG, etc.) with a basic knowledge of device drivers, boot loaders, and communication protocol stacks.

Signal processing experience and experience with DSPs and FPGAs are highly desired. This role is fast-paced, supporting a variety of embedded platforms, with the opportunity to be a key member in designing and bringing up a new embedded board for 3D positioning.

This role operates closely with Research, Hardware, and business development teams. The successful individual must be self-motivated and have the ability to proactively solve problems and complete mission objectives.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, code, and work on IoT devices.
• Develop and implement algorithms utilizing peripheral I / O components (such as accelerometer) to improve positioning accuracy.
• Develop software for IoT device provisioning, diagnostics, and telemetry.
• Work with the hardware team to test, verify, and prototype new hardware functionality.
• Identify and champion proposals to improve development processes, reduce system costs, and improve system quality.
• Be a self-starter, and own your work from concept to deployment.
• Work in an environment that supports your individual growth.

MUST HAVE ATTRIBUTES / SKILLS

• Development experience with C / C++ and Python (experience in other programming languages, such as Rust, is desirable).
• Experience developing on embedded RTOSes is required. Experience on bare metal platforms is desired.
• Interpersonal skills and appreciation of other people's work discipline within a startup environment.
• The ability to work in an Agile team based in the US Pacific Timezone.

SHOULD HAVE ATTRIBUTES / SKILLS

• BSc or higher degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related subject.
• Experience with ISM band wireless devices such as wireless access points.
• Linux experience for running and developing test scripts.
• Experience with JTAG, logic analyzers, use of oscilloscopes, and other hardware development tools.
• Experience securing IoT devices (flash encryption, code signing, secure-JTAG, hardware fuse, etc.).
• Strong debugging and analytical skills for embedded platforms.
• Experience with board bring-up.
• Ability to read electrical schematics and electrical component datasheets.
• Experience using version control systems such as Git.

NICE TO HAVE ATTRIBUTES / SKILLS

• Experience with AWS IoT Core ( Authentication, Registry, Shadow, etc.).
• Experience with FPGA development (VHDL, Verilog).
• Experience developing and modifying the bootloader (UBoot).
• Experience developing device drivers.
