Job Description

Job Description

US Citizen or Green Card

No Relocation

No C2C


The Role

  • Lead embedded systems design from concept to production, ensuring devices ship on time, on spec
  • Architect and implement firmware and hardware integrations
  • Build and mentor a team of engineers who move fast and solve hard problems
  • Partner with product, supply chain, and manufacturing to translate ideas into devices
  • Validate and stress-test systems until they’re unbreakable
  • Own the embedded systems roadmap, making the calls that keep us ahead of competitors


Leadership

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of embedded engineers
  • Build a culture of grit, accountability, and swagger that competitors wish they had
  • Align embedded priorities with product roadmaps that don’t just shift markets, they flip them


Technical

  • Architect and drive development of embedded systems for GPS, BLE, LoRa, and other tracking technologies
  • Oversee integration with sensors for vibration, temperature, motion, and power management
  • Optimize firmware for low power and extended battery life


Process and Delivery

  • Manage multiple projects without flinching
  • Drive agile practices that keep shipping speed high
  • Ensure compliance with FCC, CE, ISO 9001, and ISO 27001


Quality and Reliability

  • Oversee field validation and testing of devices built for hostile industrial environments
  • Partner with QA to find weaknesses
  • Maintain documentation and traceability that auditors and engineers can both trust


Who You Are

You know embedded systems cold, you’ve led teams that shipped hardware that worked the first time, and you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty when it counts.

  • Degree — Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or something close. Master’s earns points, but results beat diplomas
  • 8+ years building embedded systems, with at least 3 spent leading teams that shipped products people actually used, not lab experiments
  • You speak C, C++, RTOS, and embedded Linux like they’re your second language
  • GPS, RFID, LoRa, BLE — you’ve conquered the alphabet soup of asset tracking tech
  • You’re fluent in industrial protocols like CAN and RS-485 without a cheat sheet
  • You’ve got a history of shipping rugged, scalable devices that take abuse in the field and keep performing


Preferred Skills

  • You’ve driven IoT platforms like AWS IoT or Azure IoT, not just clicked around in them
  • You know how to secure devices against hackers who think they’re clever
  • You’ve designed ruggedized hardware and tested it in conditions that break lesser products
  • You’ve managed OTA firmware updates and full device lifecycles without drama



We offer flexibility, autonomy, and the chance to work with people who don’t just “do engineering,” they live it. Add a benefits package built for real life and a culture that rewards boldness, and you’ve got a workplace where engineers don’t just build, they dominate.
