We design, manufacturer and support actuation systems for commercial and military systems. Backed by a16z.

About the role

We need an embedded software engineer who can work across firmware and hardware. This is not a pure software role - the candidate will use oscilloscopes, read schematics, and debug board-level issues alongside writing C code. You'll be part of our growing Software Engineering team by building and scaling our web-based telemetry and diagnostics platform—our window into the performance of next-generation motor controllers and electromechanical systems. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Develop and scale our web application
  • Create intuitive data visualizations for real-time and historical motor telemetry
  • Design and maintain scalable backend APIs and data pipelines to support diagnostics and remote logging features
  • Work closely with embedded engineers to define protocols and telemetry schema
  • Ensure our tools are robust, responsive, and easy to use across devices and platforms
  • Own features end-to-end—from concept and design to deployment and ongoing iteration
