Overview

ENGINEERS WANTED for hazardous journey. Small wages, high voltages, long hours of difficult technical work, safe career choice doubtful. Riches and Glory in case of success.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Join Fleetzero's embedded systems team and contribute to R&D and production of the next generation in maritime technology. We work in a highly iterative method, testing early and often, rather than a traditional linear or waterfall development program.

In this team, you will develop low-level firmware/software for microcontrollers, create reusable device drivers, integrate system-level features, and architect changes to support Fleetzero's codebase. You will also integrate with electrical engineers in hardware development, including component selection and system architecture.

• Develop firmware for embedded systems operating in harsh and demanding environments
• Work in a highly iterative development process (test early & test often) and own projects from inception through testing and production.
• Design & implement embedded firmware in C/C++ for MCUs (ARM, Cortex-M/STM
  32, NXP, TI) in bare metal and RTOS environments.
• Write HIL tests, perform hardware bringup tests, and contribute to boot loaders/secure updates.
• Review schematics with the hardware team.

• Strong C coding ability for embedded development in RTOS or bare metal.
• Background in control theory, digital signal processing, and functional safety standards
• Degree in CS/CE/EE or equivalent experience.
• Solid experience with common bus protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, etc.
• Solid understanding and application of coding best practices, board bring up, and debugging

• Competition experience (FSAE, robotics) demonstrating a drive for exceptional performance.
• Experience with Rust, Assembly, Ada/SPARK.
• Experience with one or more microcontroller cores.
• Not afraid to write code, push, test, fail, fix, and move on.
