The work involves integrating high-performance camera sensors, wireless communication modules, and real-time subsystems on modern embedded Linux platforms. You'll be part of a small, fast-moving team shipping systems that operate in real environments, not just test benches.
This is a full-time, exempt position reporting to the VP of Engineering. This position is remote with travel up to 25% to our company headquarters or other locations.

  • Collaborate with hardware and mechanical teams to validate new designs and support board bring-up
  • Support integration and troubleshooting efforts for customers using our hardware, including driver-level debugging and system-level recommendations
  • Troubleshoot and optimize embedded systems for performance, stability, and RF compliance

Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • Strong experience with Linux kernel development, kernel module creation, and driver debugging
  • Solid understanding of MIPI CSI interfaces, camera sensor integration, and V4L2 pipeline
  • Familiarity with wireless driver stacks (Wi-Fi/BT), including wpa_supplicant/hostapd and RF tuning
  • Hands-on experience with embedded Linux platforms (e.g., Qualcomm Snapdragon, NXP i.MX, or similar)
  • Proficient with embedded toolchains, cross-compiling, and kernel/u-boot customization
  • Comfortable working with hardware prototypes, schematics, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with custom PCB bring-up and low-level hardware debugging
  • Familiarity with sensor initialization via I2C/SPI and power sequencing
  • Exposure to antenna tuning or RF compliance testing for wireless modules
  • Experience with camera tuning (gain, exposure, white balance) or GStreamer pipelines
  • Proficiency with Yocto or Buildroot for embedded Linux build automation
  • Experience with JTAG/SWD debuggers, bootloader recovery, or automated hardware tests
  • Knowledge of edge AI model deployment
  • Familiarity with USB gadget drivers, PCIe or SDIO peripherals, or low-level protocol analyzers
  • Direct experience in the Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) or robotics industry.
  • U.S. Military Veteran experienced with tactical equipment from a user or developer perspective.
  • Active Security clearance
  • Prior experience in a fast-paced, startup environment
