Founded in 2018, the company’s breakthrough data transport and acceleration technology is ushering in a new era of connectivity and capabilities in the vehicle and at the edge, including highly reliable autonomy, over‑the‑air servicing and AI‑backed applications.

Ethernovia's co‑founders are serial technology entrepreneurs with multiple prior successful ventures together. We are well‑funded and backed by some of the world’s leading technology investors, having secured $154M ($90+M Series‑B and $64M Series‑A) in total funding to date:

• (financial backers include:
  Porsche SE, Qualcomm, AMD, Western Digital, Maverick Silicon, Socratic Partners, Conduit Capital, and CDIB‑TEN Capital)

Ethernovia has been recognized in EE Times' prestigious list of the Top 100 Startups for 2025.

With talented employees on 4 continents, we have filed 50+ patents to date.

Join Ethernovia’s team to make a lasting impact on the future of packet processor‑centric networking solutions to support the real‑time sensor, Physical AI, and control data demands of software‑defined autonomy across vehicles, robots and intelligent machines. Come share in our success with pre‑IPO shares, competitive compensation, and great benefits while growing your knowledge and career with world class talent. We are looking for talented engineers and leaders who have an entrepreneurial spirit and want to drive cutting edge designs from concept to silicon to the future of mobility.

• Multiple Positions in Canada
• Preference for those in or adjacent to Eastern Time Zone

You will be responsible for the Ethernovia’s Networking devices software stack development; this may include Embedded Firmware, kernel/user mode device drivers, stack extensions, debug, and test utilities as well as automated unit/system testing. The drivers will integrate with the Communication Stack of a Linux and AUTOSAR Stack
. The device drivers will allow the User application, Middleware and Operating system to take full advantage of the feature rich hardware. As for the firmware it configures, controls, and monitors the communication device and interacts with the host system via device drivers to expose hardware features of the devices. Firmware code may also run as a standalone library within the device driver itself.

As a part of the Software team, you will be responsible for architecture, design, implementation, testing, and integration of the device drivers rolled into Ethernovia’s SDK. These drivers are built ground‑up for safety critical automotive application.

Also, we build products with strict adherence to Functional Safety and hence every team member is required to fit into a culture of safety and best development practices.
