Job Overview

Staff Engineer, Embedded Software Development

We are seeking a Staff Engineer in Embedded Development with 4+ years of experience building complex systems that span embedded devices and application-level software. This role focuses on developing and integrating software across device, middleware, and application layers, combining low‑level hardware interaction with higher‑level system functionality.

• Developing Embedded Software: Designing and implementing embedded software in C++ for Linux‑based systems, including drivers, hardware interfaces, and system services.
• Developing Application‑Level Software: Building application and middleware components using C# and related frameworks to support device control, user interaction, and system orchestration.
• Owning System Integration: Designing and implementing interfaces between embedded components and application layers, including APIs, services, and communication pathways.
• Building Data & Video Pipelines: Developing and optimizing pipelines for data acquisition, image/video processing, and streaming across system components.
• Leading Hardware/Software Debugging: Diagnosing complex system issues across hardware, firmware, and application layers, including timing, performance, and integration defects.
• Contributing to Architecture: Defining software architecture, module boundaries, and interface contracts to enable scalable and maintainable systems.
• Collaborating Across Disciplines: Working closely with FPGA, electrical, imaging, and UI teams to deliver tightly integrated features.

• Experience: 4+ years of embedded and/or system‑level software development.
• Programming: Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems and C# for application or middleware development.
• Embedded Architectures: Experience with embedded Linux and Windows systems on ARM or Intel CPUs, device drivers, and cross‑compilation tool chains.
• System Integration: Experience designing and implementing interfaces between embedded systems and higher‑level applications.
• Hardware Interaction: Hands‑on experience interfacing with hardware components and debugging across hardware/software boundaries.
• Data Handling: Experience working with real‑time or high‑throughput data systems (e.g., video, imaging, or sensor pipelines).
• Development Tools: Experience with source control systems (Git) and defect tracking/ALM tools (Azure Dev Ops, Jira, etc.).
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM discipline.

• Experience with imaging systems, video pipelines, or computer vision applications.
• Experience with Windows application development frameworks (WPF or similar).
• Knowledge of communication protocols such as PCIe, USB, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, CAN, WiFi, Bluetooth.
• Experience optimizing performance across embedded and application layers.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity practices for embedded devices and system hardening.
• Experience leveraging AI/ML tools to improve development productivity or system capabilities.

• Comprehensive private medical care options.
• Life insurance and disability programs.
• Financial programs, including education assistance and generous parental leave.
• Mental health resources and dependent care support.
• Additional elected or voluntary benefits.

The annual pay scale for this position is between $1, and $2,.
