Redwood City, United States Quilt Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Our mission is to move humanity off of fossil fuel heating. 20% of US global warming emissions come from homes (that's more than cars). The largest driver of home emissions is burning fossil fuels for heat. To stop climate change, over 80M US homes need to transition from combustion to efficient, electric heat pumps over the coming decades.

We believe for this to happen the world needs fantastic products that are easy to purchase. Today's heat pumps lack great design, make limited use of software, and are difficult and stressful to adopt. We are building a next generation, beautifully designed, AI optimized home heating and cooling system that is 10x better than what is on the market today.

Role

Quilt is hiring for an experienced embedded software leader to join a collaborative and talented software team delivering robust software for our first heat pump product. We are looking for individuals with strong technical leadership skills, hands-on experience, a passion for electrification, and an appreciation for building user focused products. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in embedded systems, excellent leadership skills, a passion for driving technical excellence, and is excited to be hands-on (coding daily) building some really cool heat pumps.

This role provides the opportunity to build a larger embedded software team and take on people management responsibilities.

This is a full-time, hybrid position working out of our Redwood City office.

Responsibilities
  • Design and implement embedded software systems for complex applications, ensuring they meet performance, reliability, and security requirements.
  • Oversee the planning, execution, and delivery of embedded software projects, ensuring alignment with project timelines and company goals.
  • Maintain clear and effective communication with stakeholders, providing regular updates on project status and technical challenges.
  • Co-design and build APIs, drivers and services to ensure seamless integration of the embedded software with other parts of the stack, including hardware, firmware, cloud services, mobile applications and third-party solutions.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product managers, hardware engineers, and data scientists. Gather system requirements and translate them into technical specifications. Co-develop cross-functional technical solutions and help troubleshoot system issues. This includes working closely with our partners, which requires occasional travel to Asia.
  • Contribute to the development of the technical roadmap and long-term strategy for embedded software initiatives, as well as the general products.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends to drive innovation and ensure the team remains at the cutting edge of technology.
Minimum qualifications
  • Proven experience (10+ years) in software development, with a focus on embedded systems.
  • Proven technical leadership both in direction-setting and execution.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to debug complex issues and propose effective solutions.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
  • Able to self-guide, identify problems and propose & implement solutions, to move towards a shared goal.
  • Strong proficiency in an embedded programming language such as C or C++.
  • Solid understanding of embedded Linux.
  • Passion for electrification and home automation.
  • Strong mission alignment around climate and decarbonization.
Preferred qualifications
  • 10+ years of experience with embedded programming in C/C++.
  • Experience with embedded software system verification.
  • Experience with IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, protocols, and standards.
  • Experience with customizing embedded Linux, e.g. using Yocto.
  • Experience with networking stacks (wifi, bluetooth, thread).
