  • Develop both low-level drivers and high-level system logic.
  • Guide and support other engineers through technical mentorship.
  • Ensure software meets performance, quality, and reliability standards.
  • Contribute to long-term planning and team alignment as leadership responsibilities increase.

Basic Qualifications:

  • HARD Location Requirement: Must live within 30 minutes of the office or be willing to relocate.
  • Expertise in C and C++, with working knowledge of Python.
  • Strong Linux-based development experience.
  • Hands-on experience with embedded systems and system-level bring-up.
  • Proven ability to architect and implement complex embedded systems.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
  • Comfortable working in a high-velocity, deadline-driven environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with RTOS, functional safety, or embedded system security.
  • Exposure to Rust is a plus.
  • Prior experience working with sensor technology, robotics, or autonomous systems.
