## Description

We're seeking a Senior Embedded Engineer to lead the development and optimization of software that powers our AI-enabled traffic enforcement cameras. These systems operate in challenging outdoor environments, processing video in real-time while managing strict power and performance constraints. You'll drive technical architecture decisions, mentor team members, and work across hardware, AI, and backend teams to build reliable, efficient embedded systems that detect violations with precision and transmit critical data seamlessly., * Drive performance optimization of C++ code for resource-constrained environments, establishing standards for balancing detection accuracy with power consumption and processing speed

 * Design and implement robust embedded systems that operate reliably across diverse weather conditions and deployment scenarios at scale
 * Own integration strategy with camera sensors, communication modules, and power management systems using standard embedded protocols
 * Collaborate closely with AI teams to architect and optimize computer vision model deployment on edge hardware
 * Establish testing frameworks and debugging tools for embedded systems validation and comprehensive field troubleshooting
 * Lead system architecture decisions and establish embedded development best practices across the engineering organization
 * Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership on complex embedded systems challenges
