We’re looking for a software engineer who is comfortable working beyond conventional application boundaries. You’ll contribute to everything from drivers and communication services running on embedded Linux hardware to backend systems, data pipelines, and the interfaces used by customers and operators.
You’ll collaborate directly with hardware engineers and develop software that controls and monitors physical systems deployed in the field. If you enjoy work where software has real-world consequences—and where debugging sometimes involves a multimeter—this role is for you.
