Senior Software Engineer, On Device

Senior Software Engineer

Utilidata is a fast-growing NVIDIA-backed edge AI company enabling greater visibility and control of power utilization in energy-intensive infrastructure, like the electric grid and data centers. Karman, the company's distributed AI platform powered by a custom NVIDIA module, is transforming the way utility companies operate the grid edge and will enable data centers to unlock more compute for the same provisioned power. We are expanding our engineering team and looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the productionalization of our IoT platform, with a primary emphasis on the software that runs on edge IoT devices. This edge software includes machine learning, optimization algorithms, and components that host these capabilities that must meet high standards of performance, security, reliability, and accuracy. These individuals will be fully engaged in the software development process from architecture and planning all the way through deployment, and must have broad and deep knowledge of the state of the evolving software. We are looking for candidates who are mission-driven, collaborative, adaptive and experienced in designing, writing, testing, and debugging distributed enterprise software at scale.

Ideal candidates will possess deep knowledge of Python, Linux, continuous integration and deployment (CI / CD), and have a proven track record in designing and developing successful enterprise software.

Responsibilities

• Design, propose, plan, implement, and test resource-constrained, edge software in Python (and possibly lower-level languages, e.g., Rust) including the implementation of precision telemetry collection, real-time control interfaces, and robust system observability
• Create and maintain CI / CD processes as necessary to support development and deployment with a focus on reproducibility, regression testing for embedded systems, and deployment in real-world, intermittently connected environments
• Contribute to internal and external technical documentation
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of software, hardware, quality assurance (QA), and power systems engineers; data scientists; and leadership
• Provide high-quality, in-depth code and architecture reviews, implement new features, and provide technical leadership while coordinating with project management, QA, and other internal teams
• Continually advocate for and implement process improvement and automation
• Foster a culture of open communication, innovation, and continual improvement
• Mentor other engineers using paired programming, code review, and collaborative test scenario design
