The Role: Embedded Systems EngineerThe Mission: Our technological lead is built on hardware that simply doesn't fail. You are responsible for ensuring our roadside systems-solar power generation, cell connectivity, and high-speed sensors-operate with 99.99% reliability in the harshest environments.
- Hardening the System: Deep-dive into the reliability of our power systems and connectivity, ensuring our "secret sauce" remains insurmountable.
- End-to-End Design: Own the development of schematics, PCBs, housing, and cabling solutions for next-generation hardware.
- Manufacturing Evolution: Lead design iterations in CAD to improve the assembly yield and long-term serviceability of our devices.
- Hardware-Software Synthesis: Write the code that lives on the edge. You understand the friction between a sensor's physical limitations and the software's requirements.
Requirements:- Education: MS or BS in Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related technical field.
- Experience: You have built physical hardware. Whether at work or as a hobbyist (Raspberry Pi, ESP32, custom PCBs) we want to see what you've brought to life.
- Technical Versatility: You have a foundational understanding of circuit design and CAD, and you aren't afraid to write code. You should be comfortable in (or excited to learn) Python or C++ to make your hardware talk to our software.
- Mindset: You are excited to work at a startup and be part of a core engineering team. You don't wait for a manual or a step-by-step guide; you figure out what you need to get stuff done and you do it with a professional, "owner" mentality. You understand that in a small team, feedback is the fastest way to level up and you welcome it.
- Denver: You're excited about moving to Denver and eager to collaborate in person. While we have a hybrid work model, some roles are simply most effective when in the office or shop. Building hardware for the physical world requires testing and getting your hands dirty; that's half the fun.
Our Technical Ecosystem: While we value problem-solving over specific syntax, skills that transfer well are:
- Languages: Python, TypeScript, C++
- Tools: Altium, Onshape, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers
- Infrastructure: Linux, IoT Edge Devices, AWS
- Specialties: On-edge Computer Vision, CAD, weatherproofing, outdoor deployment, vertical product integration
The Essentials (Health & Wealth)- Relocation Support: We are excited for you to join the team at our engineering office in Denver. We value in-person collaboration and daily team lunches and we provide a relocation bonus to help you get here.
- Personalized Health Coverage (ICHRA): We don't believe in one-size-fits-all healthcare. We provide a monthly allowance for you and dependents so you can choose the individual plan that actually fits your life.
- Investing in Your Future: 401(k) matching up to 4%.
- Peace of Mind: Transparent compensation. Company-sponsored life & disability insurance.
- Early Stage Equity: Competitive equity package with 24-month exercise window. Every year, we facilitate a tender process that gives you the opportunity to sell your vested shares at the same valuation as our investors.
Rest & Recharge - High-Trust Time Off: 4 weeks of untracked PTO. We don't micromanage your calendar; we focus on your impact. Take the time you need to stay sharp and inspired.
- Family First: 12 weeks of paid parental leave for birth and adoptive parents. We want you present for the moments that matter most.
- The Deep Breath (Sabbatical): Every 5 years, take 12 weeks of fully paid leave. Go travel, write a book, or master a new hobby-then come back and tell us all about it.
Fuel & Community - The Blissway Kitchen: Whether it's breakfast to start your day or our daily group lunches, we keep the team fueled.
- Snacks Autonomy: Our kitchen is fully stocked and we mean it-if we're missing your favorite fuel, just add it to the request list.
- The "BlissTrip": An annual 3-4 day getaway for the team and significant others.
- Monthly Beats: Game nights, escape rooms, and dinners to celebrate the grit we put in.
- Continuous Learning: Tuition reimbursement for courses, programs, and conferences that sharpen your craft.
