What is a Remote Embedded Engineer?

A Remote Embedded Engineer is a professional who designs, develops, and maintains embedded systems, such as microcontrollers or specialized hardware, while working from a location outside the traditional office environment. They use programming languages like C or C++ to create software that interacts directly with hardware components. Remote Embedded Engineers often collaborate with teams using online tools, manage tasks independently, and ensure the reliability and efficiency of embedded systems across industries such as automotive, medical devices, or IoT. Their work enables connectivity and functionality in a wide range of smart devices.

How do Remote Embedded Engineers typically collaborate with hardware teams when working off-site?

Remote Embedded Engineers often use a combination of version control systems, video conferencing, and remote desktop tools to stay in sync with hardware teams. They may participate in daily standups, share code and test results through collaborative platforms, and sometimes use hardware simulators or remote lab access for testing. Regular documentation and clear communication are key, as are scheduled sync meetings to address integration issues and align project milestones. This structure helps ensure smooth coordination despite physical distance.

What is the difference between Remote Embedded Engineer vs Remote Firmware Engineer?

AspectRemote Embedded EngineerRemote Firmware Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related; experience with embedded systemsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related; experience with firmware development
Work EnvironmentDesigning and developing embedded hardware/software, often in R&D or product development teamsWriting low-level code for hardware devices, often in manufacturing or product support
Industry UsageElectronics, IoT, automotive, consumer devicesConsumer electronics, IoT, industrial equipment
Common Search/ComparisonRemote Embedded EngineerRemote Firmware Engineer

Both roles focus on embedded systems but differ mainly in scope. Remote Embedded Engineers work on both hardware and software integration, while Remote Firmware Engineers specialize in low-level firmware coding. The choice depends on whether the focus is on hardware-software integration or firmware development.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Embedded Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Embedded Engineer, you need expertise in embedded systems design, proficiency in programming languages like C/C++, and a background in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with microcontrollers, real-time operating systems (RTOS), hardware debugging tools, and version control systems such as Git is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, self-motivation, and effective remote communication skills make candidates stand out in this role. These competencies are vital to ensure reliable embedded solutions, efficient project collaboration, and independent productivity in a remote environment.

Job description

Job Overview:

Tactacam is seeking a highly skilled Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our Reveal Product Engineering organization. This role will focus on the design, development, and optimization of embedded software systems for wireless cameras and cellular IoT devices. As a key technical contributor, you will work closely with cross-functional teams including internal engineering, contract design partners, and manufacturing teams. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience leading embedded software projects-especially in image processing and wireless connectivity applications-and a passion for developing innovative, high-performance outdoor technology solutions. 

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design and implementation of embedded software for wireless camera products.
  • Maintain and evolve embedded software architecture, product design documentation, and prototyping capabilities.
  • Provide technical guidance and oversight to third-party design partners and engineering contractors.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure optimal integration of electronics and embedded software.
  • Work closely with mobile app developers for seamless integration with iOS and Android platforms.
  • Support Bluetooth/BLE, Cellular/LTE, and Wi-Fi regulatory testing and certification processes.
  • Partner with QA teams to troubleshoot and resolve issues during product verification and validation phases.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. 
  • 7-12 years of experience in embedded software engineering, specifically in C/C++ applications.
  • Technical Proficiency:
    • Strong background in IoT video streaming technologies (H.264, RTSP, WebRTC).
    • Expertise in embedded Linux board bring-up using Buildroot or Yocto.
    • Object-oriented design and software architecture best practices.
    • Hardware interface experience with I2C, SPI, UART, USB, and MIPI CSI-2.
    • Skilled in using embedded debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, etc.).
    • Experience with embedded software unit testing and secure software development.
  • Workflow & Collaboration:
    • Comfortable working in Agile environments (Scrum, Kanban).
    • Proficient with Git, Jira, GitHub/GitLab, and modern DevOps workflows.
    • Excellent communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Development experience with AWS C/C++ SDKs (S3, MQTT, Kinesis).
  • Familiarity with Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware update methodologies for IoT devices.
  • Scripting experience in Bash, Python, LuaJIT, and GNU Make.
  • Experience collaborating with third-party design partners to build and debug firmware.
  • Knowledge of image compression and transmission algorithms.
  • Understanding of cellular and wireless technologies (LTE, Wi-Fi, BLE, NFC). Familiarity with LTE networks and IoT applications in connected device ecosystems. 

While we are open to remote applicants, a strong preference will be given to candidates currently located in, or willing to relocate to, Billings, MT.
