Job description

We’re looking for an experienced engineer to develop embedded software and firmware solutions for next-generation wearable devices. This role goes beyond diagnostics-it requires end-to-end pipeline expertise, working across the entire stack with a strong focus on low- and mid-level layers, including the SW/FW integration layer. You’ll build platform-independent capabilities that enhance system performance and diagnostics-such as telemetry, logging, and core dump functionality-while ensuring seamless integration under tight delivery timelines. Your work will drive innovation in immersive hardware technologies and scalable data pipelines for AR/VR ecosystems., Unified Telemetry Framework: Architect and deploy a scalable telemetry system that works across multiple platforms, establishing a standard for data collection and monitoring.

  • Pipeline Development: Design and implement robust pipelines to support telemetry, logging, and diagnostic workflows across diverse hardware and software environments.

  • Firmware & Middleware Engineering: Develop and refine embedded features at the SW/FW layer, ensuring smooth integration between low-level firmware and mid-level system components.

  • Developer Tools: Design and maintain utilities, including a command-line interface for triggering telemetry paths and validating firmware updates on both production and prototype hardware.

  • API Engineering: Create filtering APIs to allow selective telemetry event handling by log level, accessible from both CLI and firmware environments.

  • Cross-Stack Integration: Deliver robust, device-agnostic solutions for telemetry, logging, and crash diagnostics across the entire wearable ecosystem.

  • Team Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams, manage backlog priorities, and participate in regular stand-ups to ensure timely execution and continuous improvement.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day.
