⌕ Job Overview We’re hiring a Senior Embedded Engineer to join our Software team at a critical point in our growth. With a key team member departing, this role is essential to maintaining momentum across product development, production readiness, and customer delivery.
You’ll work on embedded systems that sit at the heart of our technology, collaborating closely with hardware and system test teams to bring complex products into the real world. While embedded software is central, this role suits someone with a broader engineering mindset, strong problem-solving instincts, and a genuine curiosity for how systems work end to end.
This is a hands-on position where you’ll be expected to get up to speed quickly, contribute meaningfully from early on, and help reduce delivery bottlenecks as we scale.
