## About the role

You’ll build the low-level software that makes Cortex a dependable industrial controller. Your work will span the controller runtime, embedded Linux services, and interfaces to physical hardware. You’ll turn application intent into working machine behavior and own the implementation, integration, testing, and debugging that gets it into customers’ hands. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Develop low-level software for the Cortex runtime and the services that execute controller applications
- Integrate industrial I/O, peripherals, and device communication with electrical and controls engineers
- Build embedded Linux services and reliable interfaces between applications, the runtime, and hardware
- Debug issues across software and hardware using traces, profiling, logs, and bench measurements
- Improve latency, resource use, concurrency, and recovery behavior through measurement and targeted changes
- Validate functionality and failure handling with automated tests, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and reproducible fault cases
