Role Description  

Our goal is to stop grid-ignited wildfires. To do that, our devices need to run robust, well-tested, and power efficient firmware. We are looking for you to help us develop that firmware.

  • Work with our backend codebase to develop and test device communications 
  • Maintain and extend our build system to support various embedded hardware platforms 
  • Develop efficient data processing and collection algorithms in a resource-constrained environment 
  • Develop unit tests, write and execute test plans 
Required Skills
  • Strong C and/or C++ knowledge 
  • Python or another scripting language 
  • Comfortable using Git 
  • Comfortable in a Linux development environment 
  • Comfortable working across multiple domains (hardware, firmware, software) 
  • 3+ years embedded software engineering experience (Embedded Linux, RTOS’s, bare metal, etc) 
  • Experience developing and debugging hardware 
Bonus Skills
  • Strong understanding of operating system and real-time operating system concepts 
  • Assembly language (extra bonus points for ARM) 
  • Basic web programming knowledge (backend) 
  • Comfortable debugging with an oscilloscope and/or logic analyzer 
  • Professional experience deploying firmware 
  • Experience with LoRa, SigFox, or other Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANS) 
  • Experience with digital signal processing (DSP) 
  • Previous experience in rapidly scaling startups 
  • Previous experience working with CMs/ODMs on medium to high-volume products 

This describes the ideal candidate; many of us have picked up this expertise along the way. Even if you meet only part of this list, we encourage you to apply!
