You’ll collaborate closely with the electrical, mechanical, industrial design, and verification/validation (V&V) teams to deliver robust, innovative solutions. This role demands a disciplined, independent leader with stellar embedded software skills, a systems-level mindset and the ability to self-teach and solve tough problems. You will contribute to shaping the product vision, drive its execution, and ensure it meets our standards for quality and efficiency.\nAbout PassiveLogic®\nPassiveLogic is the first fully autonomous platform for buildings. We’ve reinvented the fundamental principles of automation to democratize technology, optimize buildings, and reduce the world’s carbon footprint. We are a team of technologists, engineers, and creatives dedicated to making a sustainable impact through real-world solutions.\nWe are looking for team members who have a passion for technology and who want to work on cutting-edge problems with real-world solutions. Our culture is built on bringing together the most talented engineers, thinkers, and creatives-backed by the world’s leading investors-working together to make the future a reality.\nWhat you’ll do\nDevelop embedded systems: Lead the end-to-end development of ultra-low-power wireless devices, from architecture design to high-volume production. Write and optimize production-ready C code for embedded systems running TI-RTOS and Zephyr RTOS.\nDevelop proprietary sub-Gig wireless protocol: Lead the architecture, implementation, and refinement of a custom sub-GHz wireless protocol. Evaluate technical tradeoffs present throughout the development process.\nOptimization and systems engineering: Apply math and physics expertise for power accounting and systems-of-systems optimization in resource-constrained environments.\nTest and validate embedded systems: Design and implement HIL/SIL testing frameworks to validate robust, fail-safe code before V&V handoff. Collaborate with electrical, mechanical and industrial design teams to maintain product visionalignment.\nDevelop software and version control: Leverage Git for version control, maintaining clean, modular codebases and streamlined team workflows; Use Python, Bash, and Linux to automate workflows, analyze data, and enhance development processes.\nIntegrate hardware and debug software: Perform hands-on board bring-up and system debugging to integrate hardware and software seamlessly.\nWhat you’ll bring\nIf your experience does not meet all our posted requirements below, we’d still love to hear from you. We are looking for practitioners who are passionate about understanding people, committed to lifelong learning, and driven by the love of what they do. If that’s you, please apply!\nYou Must Have\nProven Experience:\nDegree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field-or proven exceptional ability through experience.\n\n6+ years in embedded software development, with deep expertise in C and real-time operating systems (TI-RTOS, Zephyr RTOS).\n\nProficiency in Git for version control, collaboration, and maintaining high-quality codebases.\n\nStrong skills in Python, Bash, and Linux for scripting and system management.\n\nTrack record of delivering high-quality, production-grade code with rigorous HIL/SIL testing.\n\nStrong systems-level thinking for ultra-low-power wireless designs, backed by solid math and physics fundamentals.\n\nExceptional Communication Skills: An ability to document/communicate clearly to effectively lead, mentor, and align teams.\nOrganized and Strategic: An organized, structured approach to complex project leadership and an enthusiasm for owning work within the context of the big picture.\nCollaborative Mindset: You thrive in cross-disciplinary teams, knowing the best hardware is built when everyone’s brainpower is in the mix.\nAdaptability: Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment, eager to learn, iterate, and innovate.\nProblem solving: You own this role. When issues arise, be the empowered force that solves them, rolling-up to product management and leadership.\nA self-driven curious mindset: Able to independently research, learn, and solve complex challenges. Experiencewith (or a desire to explore) setting up and deploying AI-assisted testing systems is a bonus.\nYou should have\nExperience with schematic capture and board layout using Altium.\n\nFamiliarity with engineering design and analysis using spreadsheets (e.g., power budgeting, system modeling).\n\nKnowledge of ultra-low-power wireless protocols (e.g., IEEE 802.15.4, BLE, 900MHz)\n\nFamiliarity with RF design and compliance testing.\n\nIt’s helpful to have\nFamiliarity with the startup environment.\n\nExperience interfacing with overseas vendors and supporting the manufacturing process.\n\nBackground in mentoring junior engineers or leading cross-functional teams.\n\nPersonal projects showcasing initiative and technical depth (include these with your application!).\n\nCompensation, Benefits & Perks:\nCompetitive compensation\n\nGenerous equity share package\n\nFlex PTO\n\nIn-office lunch\n\nFun office-wide activities quarterly\n\nWorldwide ski/snowboard pass\n\nWhen applying, include:\nA cover letter telling us why you're the perfect candidate for PassiveLogic and this role\n\nA resume\n\nExtra mile - include a description of a project (of any type) you personally created, devised, built, managed, organized, or designed that was of your own self-initiative\n\nDiversity and inclusion\nDiversity, inclusion, and belonging is woven into our values and everything we do.
