and implement customer feedback
- Creating and maintaining technical documentation and specifications
- Developing tools and test specifications to support PCB bring-up and QA activities
- Taking ownership of projects and the initiative to drive them forward
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams (e.g., hardware engineering, manufacturing, and more) to ensure products exceed stakeholder expectations
- As needed, supporting non-embedded software engineering activities, such as those related to web development, data engineering, and infrastructure management

Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in software engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- 4+ years of experience in embedded software development
- Proficiency with C and/or C++ for embedded development, including baremetal and RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar) programming on microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M)
- Experience developing embedded Linux userspace applications using languages such as Python or C++
- Experience with hardware debugging tools and techniques (e.g., logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)
- Knowledge of embedded communication protocols such as CAN, I2C, SPI, and UART
- Knowledge of internet communication protocols such as HTTP, WebSockets, and MQTT
- Experience with AI coding tools like Claude Code
- Experience with Git and version control workflows
- Familiarity with Linux and Bash

Bonus Requirements:

- Experience with the full IoT telemetry system software stack




- Exposure to the NXP S32K MCU family
- Knowledge of the SAE J1939 protocol or other vehicle communication standards
- Experience developing safety-critical software or familiarity with functional safety standards such as ISO 26262 or ISO 13849-1
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, including for embedded targets
- Exposure to web-native languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS) and modern frontend/backend frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js, Vue; Node.js, Express, Flask, FastAPI, Django)
- Experience with SQL (specifically PostgreSQL) and time series (specifically InfluxDB) database management, including writing/optimizing queries and building visualizations with tools such as Grafana
- Experience managing on-premises and cloud server infrastructure (e.g., on-premises Linux servers; cloud platforms such as Google Cloud, AWS, or Microsoft Azure), including containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes
- Knowledge of computer networking fundamentals
- Knowledge of cybersecurity fundamentals

Benefits:

- Competitive salary and performance bonuses
- Opportunity to grow beyond embedded and work across the entire software technology stack
- Cooperative and supportive work environment with a diverse engineering team
- Upscale open-concept office and kitchen
- Frequent team building activities
- Conveniently located across the street from the Bronte GO Station

If you are an embedded software engineer who enjoys bringing firmware to life on real hardware, and you're eager to broaden your skills across the wider software stack, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity! Please submit your resume for consideration. Pay: $75,000.00-$105,000.00 per year
