Software Engineer, Embedded Systems​/ Firmware​/ IoT, Python

Overview

We are seeking a Systems Software Engineer to build the software foundation behind next-generation robotic vision test systems. This role sits directly on the boundary between hardware and software: you will develop the pipelines, test frameworks, and embedded software that turn camera and sensor hardware into reliable, production-ready capability  focus is system software and engineering infrastructure, robust data and processing pipelines, automated test frameworks, and the tooling that makes a hardware development team faster and more rigorous.

You will write production Python and C/C++ on Linux-based embedded platforms, containerize development and deployment workflows with Docker, and work directly on hardware to bring up, integrate, and debug camera and sensor subsystems.

Note:

This role is based in a hands-on lab environment rather than a traditional quiet office setting.

• Design, build, and maintain robust software pipelines for camera and sensor data capture, processing, storage, and analysis on embedded Linux platforms.
• Develop and own automated test frameworks that validate embedded software, camera subsystems, and sensor integrations, and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines for continuous regression coverage.
• Write production-quality Python and C/C++ for embedded and system-level applications, with attention to performance, memory, and runtime behavior on resource-constrained targets.
• Containerize development, build, and deployment workflows using Docker to ensure reproducible environments across engineering, lab, and target hardware.
• Integrate 2D and 3D camera and sensor systems - including RGB, stereo, ToF, structured light, and LiDAR - covering bring-up, configuration, synchronization, calibration support, and data capture.
• Debug complex embedded systems across the hardware and software boundary using logs, profilers, and lab instrumentation, and drive issues to root cause.
• Identify friction in engineering workflows and deliver the tooling, automation, and mechanisms that measurably improve team velocity and release confidence.
• Partner with hardware, firmware, electrical, mechanical, and test teams to define interfaces, resolve integration issues, and validate end-to-end system behavior on real hardware.
• Author clear technical documentation including design notes, interface specifications, test plans, and operational runbooks.
• Demonstrate ownership, accountability, and bias for action in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 4+ years of software engineering experience in system software development, including building software pipelines and delivering production-quality code.
• Strong proficiency in Python and C/C++ and OpenCV.
• Hands-on experience developing embedded software on Linux-based platforms, including debugging and validation directly on target hardware.
• Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining automated test frameworks, not only writing individual test cases.
• Working knowledge of Docker for development, deployment, and containerized workflows.
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills spanning the hardware and software boundary.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
• Comfortable working on-site in an active hardware lab with shared equipment.

• Hands-on experience with 2D and/or 3D camera systems such as RGB, stereo, ToF, structured light, or LiDAR.
• Experience with camera and multimedia interfaces and pipelines such as V4L2, GStreamer,…
