- Build and maintain embedded software that interface with sensors, cameras, and motors.
- Drive features end-to-end through the full software lifecycle: design, implementation, validation, and production rollout.
- Build and improve embedded build systems, CI/CD, and automated test environments; plan and execute test procedures across unit, HIL, and on-device validation.
- Root-cause and resolve issues using remote fleet diagnostics, telemetry, and local hardware test platforms; define logging and observability standards.
Who You Are- 8+ years of professional experience developing device software for hardware products with experience shipping multiple consumer products end to end.
- Experience with Linux on embedded/constrained systems, such as Yocto, or AOSP.
- Experience writing C/C++ for Linux, FreeRTOS, and bare-metal systems.
- Demonstrated ability to write multi-threaded, highly reliable code.
