About the role
Who We Are
The Role
What You’ll Do
- Take ownership of the end-to-end deployment and testing lifecycle for our mission-critical device software.
- Architect, maintain, and scale the tooling that empowers our software and ML engineers to build and test code that delivers high-performance, low-latency AI inference in the field.
- Engineer resilient CI/CD pipelines to manage OTA updates with total confidence and comprehensive fleet-wide observability.
- Drive operational excellence through advanced remote monitoring, alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry), and debugging of fleet health metrics like uptime and resource utilization.
- Partner closely with Device Software and ML teams to eliminate friction and streamline the development experience.
What You Bring
- 3-5+ years of experience in Embedded Development, DevOps, or SRE—ideally shipping production ML systems within the robotics, autonomous vehicle, or consumer hardware space.
- Deep technical mastery of embedded Linux, system packaging, and cross-compilation for diverse hardware platforms.
- A collaborative mindset and a track record of translating complex product requirements into robust technical AI solutions.
- Extensive experience managing large-scale edge fleets, including over-the-air (OTA) updates and blue-green deployment patterns.
- A history of building internal developer tools and CLI applications that automate away complexity and amplify team productivity.
- Startup DNA: the ability to identify pain points, communicate with stakeholders, and drive projects from initial RFC to full deployment.
Nice to Have
- Experience architecting simulation pipelines, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments, and system-level testing frameworks.
- Deep expertise across the stack for optimizing deployments to edge targets like NVIDIA Jetson or custom ARM SoCs.
- Prior experience navigating the unique challenges of early-stage startups or fast-paced hardware manufacturing environments.
- We celebrate as a team and troubleshoot as a team.
- The goal is the mission, not the credit.
- Be ruthless with problems, but kind to people.
- Raise the bar, lower the shield
- Your perspective is a requirement, not a suggestion.
- Speak the hard truths early so we can fix them fast.
- Do what you say you’ll do.
- If it breaks, fix it. If it works, make it better.
- Earn trust through empathy and consistency.
- Anticipate needs before they become requests.
