Senior Software Engineer

Some companies build software. Others build hardware. We build whatever the problem demands.

Backburner Labs is a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy where mechanical, electrical,systems,and software engineers work together to solve complex technical challenges. From embedded systems and industrial automation to robotics, medical devices, IoT, cloud platforms,and AI-enabled applications, we help our clients build products that oftendon'texist yet.

Our clients come to us whenthe engineering is difficult, the timeline is ambitious, and thereisn'ta roadmap waiting to be followed.

They'relooking for engineers who can create one.

If that sounds exciting rather than intimidating,you'll probably enjoy working here.

You'll collaborate with talented engineers across disciplines, influence technical decisions, learnnew technologies, and help turn ideas on a whiteboard into products used in the real world. We move quickly, trust our engineers, and expect everyone to contribute ideas,not just code, designs, or specifications.

Ifyou'rethe kind of engineer who asks, "What's the hardest problem we're solving?"before asking, "What's the tech stack?",you'll probably feelright at home.
