  • 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, RTOSs, 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!

Benefits

  • Health, Dental & Vision (Gold and Platinum with some providers plans fully covered)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Alternating day off (every other Monday)
  • Off the Grid, a two week per year paid break for all employees
