About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to own and evolve the device-side (edge) software and firmware stack for LUMA, our drive-through vehicle inspection scanner. This role involves controlling cameras and sensors, synchronizing capture, building new measurement capabilities, setting technical direction, mentoring engineers, and taking features from prototype to production.
Responsibilities
- Architect embedded Linux software and firmware systems for the camera and sensor stack.
- Provide technical leadership and guidance across embedded software, firmware, and electrical systems; set best practices and mentor other engineers.
- Bring up custom camera and sensor subsystems end to end.
- Maintain and improve camera control software: triggering, timing, health monitoring, and error recovery.
- Maintain and improve sensor control software: presence/distance/measurement sensors, calibration, and fault handling.
- Build signal processing pipelines (e.g., converting laser-triangulation outputs into 2D tread-depth maps, post-processing stereo depth, filtering/denoising, and coordinate transforms).
- Prototype fast, then harden to production-grade reliability.
- Support integration and deployments: bring up new modules, validate in the lab and on-vehicle, debug issues, and ship fixes.
Requirements
- 6+ years of embedded engineering experience, with a proven track record of architecting and shipping production-grade systems.
- Technical leadership capabilities, including mentoring engineers and driving system architecture decisions.
- Production coding in C/C++ and/or Python, backed by strong system design and software fundamentals (OOP, testing, reliability, version control).
- Embedded Linux expertise, including system services, supervision, logging, and performance profiling.
- Hands-on hardware & sensor integration: safely and cleanly connecting sensors to compute hardware using standard protocols (UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO) and industrial interfaces (RS-485, CAN, or Modbus).
- Practical lab & bring-up skills: proficient with test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters), soldering, crimping/connectors, board bring-up, and reasoning about board-level schematics/datasheets.
- Modern developer workflow: experience using AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) to rapidly iterate high-quality code.
- Ownership mindset: ability to navigate ambiguous requirements, solve complex problems, and deliver maintainable systems in a fast-paced environment.
