  • Revamping the telemetry and alerting mechanisms on our embedded Linux platform to enhance visibility across our expanding installation base.
  • Developing a testing framework for behavioral and simulation assessments of power control functionalities within our application architecture, as well as extending our in-house job queue-based hardware-in-the-loop testing system.
Candidate Profile

Essential Qualifications:

  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in creating reliable and maintainable software using Rust, C/C++, Go, or other compiled, statically-typed programming languages.
  • Strong foundation in software and API design principles, including instrumentation, testing, and debugging.
  • Exceptional communication and teamwork abilities.
  • A proven history of taking ownership of projects and a readiness to assist colleagues, from design and code reviews to mentoring new team members.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in developing networked consumer hardware products utilizing embedded Linux (Yocto or Buildroot, systemd), real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS), and wireless communication technologies (e.g., WiFi, Bluetooth), as well as cloud backends (REST, GraphQL, MQTT, AWS IoT).
  • Experience in establishing and maintaining infrastructure for pre-production performance and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  • Familiarity with build and release methodologies for high-quality software production, internal tools, and containerized development environments.
  • Data analysis skills using Pandas and other tools from the scientific Python ecosystem.
  • Experience with clean energy hardware in a multidisciplinary setting.
