Embedded Systems Engineer

The role

You will develop embedded firmware, design PCBs, and integrate sensors and wireless systems. You will work on low-level firmware, power-aware circuit design, and the software stack for robotic systems.

What you will do

• Develop and debug embedded firmware in C/C++ with FreeRTOS for STM32 or similar ARM Cortex-M systems
• Design and review multilayer mixed-signal schematics / PCBs in Altium Designer
• Integrate sensors, radios, and power electronics with reliable, low-latency interfaces
• Design and integrate long-range low-power wireless systems into deployed platforms
• Build and maintain Yocto Linux images for embedded gateways and edge compute systems
• Contribute to backend services and tooling in Go and TypeScript
• Deploy and operate cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud and Cloudflare's serverless platform
• Characterize and optimize power budgets, EMI performance, and manufacturability
• Bring-up, test, and validate hardware prototypes through DFM/DFT cycles
• Support system integration and field debugging of deployed robotic platforms

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• U.S. permanent residency

Nice to have

• Multilayer mixed-signal PCB design in KiCad or Altium
• ARM microcontroller firmware (STM32/ESP32/RP2040) in C/C++ with FreeRTOS or Zephyr
• RF and long-range low-power wireless systems (XBee, LoRa)
• Yocto or OpenEmbedded Linux build systems
• Go and TypeScript application development
• SQL and relational data modeling
• Vue and/or React frontend development
• Google Cloud and Cloudflare serverless (Workers, Durable Objects, R2)
• Working knowledge of internet fundamentals, including DNS
• SWD/JTAG, logic analyzers (e.g., Saleae), and oscilloscopes
