## Description

Matic is hiring a senior-level Embedded Linux Engineer to join us (pre-launch) on the ground floor, with runway for huge and immediate impact.

In this role, you'd be joining our Platform team, which works on a diverse set of problems, ranging from low-level driver and kernel development all the way up to interfacing with the complex perception algorithms running locally on the robot, with high performance expectations and very limited computes.

We're looking for someone with strong embedded Linux and C/C++ skills who's also eager to learn Rust. If you're driven by high levels of ownership and solving complex problems, we'd love to chat! You can check out our blog here: https://maticrobots.com/blog/why-rust-its-the-safe-choice/

What you'll do

 * Develop core device systems software and functionality from the ground up
 * Enable mechanical engineering and other teams by building a robust software stack that interacts with firmware, motors, sensors and other software agents
 * Work with both EE and software teams to ensure feature feasibility & functionality
 * Perform root cause analysis of system crashes and hardware failures
 * Identify bugs & bottlenecks to improve system performance
 * Develop and debug pipelines for data from cameras and other sensors
 * Be an integral member of our small software team
