Your work will help heavy equipment speak for itself and stay missionready.

Responsibilities

  • Scale our IoT fleet and lead firmware engineering from 10s of devices to 1000s, and own future sensor SKUs: bootloader, fieldupgrade system, diagnostics, and telemetry.
  • Build robust and reliable firmware with watchdogs, safemode fallback, OTA rollback, and remote shell/debug tooling, hardened design for long life in the field.
  • Design and implement observability pipelines that surface device health (power, RF, flash wear, sensor drift) in nearreal time.
  • Define, develop, and support production test fixtures and factory programming flows to guarantee every unit ships with knowngood firmware and fully functional hardware.
  • Partner with Cloud, Embedded, and Mechanical teams to reduce MTTR and maximize fleet uptime; deliver rootcause analysis for field failures.
  • Create the playbooks, metrics, and dashboards that let us triage thousands of endpoints.
  • Lead firmware efforts for NPI with scoping, prototyping, and resourcing the development of new technologies.
  • Champion best practices in code review, CI for firmware, and securebydefault design.

Requirements

  • 5+ years building and shipping production firmware for lowpower MCUs/SystemonModules.
  • Onsite experience supporting contract manufacturing production including flashing, test, and quality.
  • Led the rollout and lifecycle management of a commercial IoT fleet (>5k devices): staged OTA, remote logging, field metrics, and brickingproof recovery.
  • Authored deviceside observability frameworks (health beacons, crash dumps, metrics pipelines).
  • Implemented secure boot, signed updates, and key management in resourceconstrained environments.
  • Fluent in C/C++, and at least one higherlevel language (Python, Go, Rust) for build or test tooling.
  • Comfortable reading schematics, probing with a scope/logic analyzer, and collaborating with HW teams on DFM and EMC fixes.
  • Handson experience with cellular/LTEM and/or WiFi connectivity stacks and the quirks of keeping them online in harsh RF conditions.
  • Proven bias for ownership in ambiguous, fastchanging settings; you dig into data, form a plan, and push it through to production.

Bonus If You Have

  • Experience with Zephyr RTOS or Yoctobased Linux.
  • Knowledge of predictive maintenance or industrial protocols (CAN, Modbus, OPCUA).
  • Contributed to opensource embedded projects.
  • Familiarity with AWS IoT Core, Greengrass, or Azure IoT Hub at fleet scale.
