Embedded Software Engineer – Cycling Systems

Overview

If you’re a firmware engineer who loves to ride—and loves to build—SPIA Cycling is where those passions come together. In this role, you’ll create the embedded firmware that lives at the heart of our cycling technology, powering devices that riders rely on every time they clip in. From performance metrics and real-time connectivity to rock-solid reliability on long rides and tough conditions, your work will directly shape how cyclists train, explore, and push their limits.

You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, software, and product teammates to turn real-world riding needs into elegant, efficient embedded solutions. Every line of code you write helps make cycling smarter, more connected, and more sustainable—so more people can ride farther, faster, and with confidence.

Stages Cycling has been in the cycling technology business for over fifteen years, with dozens of our employees bringing vast industry expertise to launch and drive the company. Stages is the global leader in commercial indoor bike and power meter production. Stages Power meters are all hand-crafted by our beloved production team in Boulder, Colorado, USA, working alongside Stages engineers, with the simple goal of generating the most innovative training solutions for cyclists.
