You’ll play a key role in scaling our sensing and edge compute systems used by some of the world’s largest manufacturers. This is a unique opportunity to shape how critical industrial data is captured and used in real-time—while driving measurable impact on sustainability, water conservation, and energy efficiency at global scale. We’re looking for hands-on builders who thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving tough technical problems, and want their work to have lasting real-world impact. Title and scope will depend on experience.

What You Will Do

• Firmware Development : Write reliable and efficient embedded C / C++ code for our in-line sensing and edge compute devices deployed in industrial environments
• Protocol Integration : Implement and support industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, Ethernet / IP, and Profinet to interface with PLCs and control systems.
• RTOS Implementation : Use real-time operating systems like Zephyr to manage timing-sensitive operations and ensure deterministic system behavior.
• Security Engineering : Build and design secure firmware and communication pipelines, including encryption, secure boot, and OTA update frameworks.
• Cross-Team Collaboration : Work closely with hardware, software, and data teams to deliver production-ready systems.
• Testing & Validation : Contribute to system-level testing, debugging, and validation in both simulated and real-world environments.
• Field Support : Help with diagnostics, debugging, and support for devices deployed in customer environments.
• Documentation : Write and maintain technical documentation for embedded designs, protocols, and interfaces.
