Redwood City, California, United States Quilt Full time
Job Overview

At Quilt, we are dedicated to transitioning homes away from fossil fuel heating to combat climate change. With over 20% of U.S. global warming emissions originating from residential heating, our goal is to facilitate the shift of more than 80 million homes to efficient electric heat pumps in the coming years.

To achieve this, we are developing innovative products that are not only functional but also user-friendly. Current heat pump systems often lack aesthetic appeal, underutilize software capabilities, and present challenges during adoption. Our vision is to create a next-generation, elegantly designed, AI-optimized heating and cooling solution that significantly outperforms existing market options.

Position Summary

  • Collaborate in the design and development of APIs, drivers, and services to guarantee seamless integration of embedded software with other system components, including hardware, firmware, cloud services, mobile applications, and third-party solutions.
  • Work alongside cross-functional teams, including product managers, hardware engineers, and data scientists, to gather system requirements and translate them into technical specifications. Co-develop technical solutions and assist in troubleshooting system issues, which may involve collaboration with partners requiring occasional travel.
  • Contribute to the development of the technical roadmap and long-term strategy for embedded software initiatives and general product offerings.
  • Stay informed about emerging technologies and industry trends to foster innovation and ensure the team remains at the forefront of technology.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Over 10 years of experience in software development, particularly in embedded systems.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership in both strategic direction and execution.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug complex issues and propose effective solutions.

  • Solid understanding of embedded Linux.
  • Passionate about electrification and home automation.
  • Strong alignment with our mission focused on climate action and decarbonization.
Preferred Qualifications
