Our platform is powered by cutting edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc…), AI and software designed to revolutionize work in the toughest environments.\nOur technology has enabled our customers to reduce wildfire risk, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.\nTo tackle this challenge, we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We have raised funding from leading investors including Penny Pritzker’s Inspired Capital.\nWe are headquartered in midtown Manhattan, with additional offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.\nOur growth is only accelerating. We’re looking for deeply curious and highly ambitious people who want to have a real world impact. Come build the future of (field) work with us.\nAbout the role\nAs a senior engineer on our embedded team you will drive development of our robot software. In this role you will contribute to a wide range of outcomes including:\nIncreasing on-device or near real-time capabilities that deliver an improved operator experience and enable fast turn-around for certain use cases like storm response.\n\nFeatures to support robot reliability at scale such as development of additional logs and diagnostic capabilities\n\nOptimization of our field to cloud data pipeline to support large base of end-users and faster turn-around times\n\nCore robot software development experience including upgrades to our operating system and deployment of upgrades to the fleet\n\nSupport hardware evolutions and changes, such as integration of new sensors\n\nServing as an escalation point for embedded issues raised by our field and technical staff, helping resolve customer-facing problems quickly\n\nThis role will be hybrid, with 2-3 days in office, based out of our New York or Philadelphia offices.\nExperience / Skills\n5+ years of experience writing software for Linux in embedded systems. Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python is required. ROS 2 experience is preferred.\n\nStrong engineering fundamentals for working on a small team: git, code review, ticket-based workflows, writing unit tests, bench testing, and clear documentation\n\nComfortable working in Linux from the command line. You use the latest AI/LLM tools to maximize your output in your daily workflow, backed by strong fundamentals that let you review, debug, and own the code you ship.\n\nHands-on experience across two or more of: 32-bit microcontrollers, embedded Linux, mobile (Android/iOS) development, NVIDIA Jetson, and cloud IoT platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT)\n\nComfortable in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment. You have a genuine spark for electronics, robotics, security, and AI; you prototype ideas and chase down discoveries without waiting to be asked, and see work through to completion. You hold strong, experience-backed opinions, but are humble enough to seek a second opinion and enjoy building as a team.\n\nMaintaining and upgrading software on commercially distributed hardware devices at scale.\n\nWorked with devices operating in no/low connectivity areas\n\nPrior experience deploying ML models onto hardware devices is a big plus\n\nNice to have\nEmbedded device bring-up and low-level security (secure boot, U-Boot, Yocto, LUKS)\n\nAWS IoT and cloud security\n\nNVIDIA Jetson Orin NX\n\nUSB 2.0/3.0\n\nGitLab CI, Docker, GStreamer\n\nCamera sensor integration and streaming\n\nAndroid/iOS app development, phone OS customization, Android Auto\n\nCellular modems, WiFi, RF, or EMI/FCC compliance\n\nWhat We Value\nMission first.
