Software Engineer – Embedded

Overview

Ride Controller is a small team of people in love with what we do. Our DNA is: fast cars, off-road racing, sport boats, surfing, flying, designing hardware, teamwork, zero office politics, hacking amazing solutions to complex problems, creating beautiful user experiences, and getting things done!

We can’t imagine a better mission than creating technology to improve the human-machine experience in vehicles. Today, we’re creating technology packages for vehicle OEMs to enhance their car, truck, or boat’s power and control systems. In addition, we work with world-class custom builders who create amazing, moving, works of art showcasing our products for their human-machine interfaces. Our product development spans dedicated glass cockpit controls, mobile applications, NEXTGEN power modules, and NEXTGEN lighting control systems.

We got our start in a garage (of course) with a crazy-ambitious project. Today, after a number of product inventions and success in securing significant OEM contracts we are experiencing strong growth that points to an exciting future.

Because of this growth, we are looking to add additional talent to our team. Does the idea of working in a startup, doing a little bit of everything and being self directed excite you? If so this role is for you.
