Job Description
We’re looking for an Associate Software Engineer to join our Embedded Development team. This is a small, high-performance team within a fast-growing organization where you’ll have real ownership and responsibility from day one. You’ll ramp up quickly, work across a broad and interesting tech stack, and have a direct impact on hundreds of thousands of physical devices in the hands of frontline workers.
Our technology spans cellular communication, embedded systems, voice processing, Linux, AOSP, app development, and AI — giving you broad exposure that’s rare at the associate level. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who’s genuinely excited about how hardware and software come together, and who wants to solve real problems for real people.
What You’ll Do
- Collaborate closely with device, QA, platform suppliers, external companies, and third-party contractors to identify and resolve hardware and software issues.
- Build and maintain tooling to isolate and reproduce common application issues, accelerating debugging across internal and external teams.
- Work with a team to bring up new embedded products.
- Improve the efficiency of test and development processes across the organization.
- Write and execute black-box tests against both hardware and software systems.
- Work across a wide range of technologies and programming languages as the product evolves.
What You’ll Have
- B.S. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
- Familiarity with Linux and embedded systems environments.
- A self-starter mindset with a genuine curiosity about how hardware and software systems work — and fail.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage your own workload with minimal oversight.
- Clear, effective communication skills — including the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders — and a collaborative approach to working across teams.
Nice To Have
- Experience with Android development or familiarity with AOSP.
- Exposure to cellular technologies or mobile network protocols.
- Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Bash, or similar) for test automation.
- Experience writing or executing test cases for embedded or hardware systems.
- Prior work with any version control or CI/CD tools (Git, Jenkins, etc.).
