A bit about us:

A stealth-mode, venture-backed AI startup working at the intersection of software and hardware is looking for a Senior Firmware Engineer! This company has already secured capital from top-tier investors including the same backers of OpenAI, Airtable, and Brex. They are building intelligent, real-world products designed to operate in environments where data is messy, constrained, and valuable. This role offers the chance to work at the intersection of embedded engineering and high-impact AI applications. By tightly integrating proprietary sensing hardware with embedded intelligence and advanced modeling, this team is reimagining how data flows from edge systems into decision engines that matter—across industries where reliability, speed, and insight are non-negotiable.

Why join us?

  • Competitive Salary + Equity
  • Full Benefits (health, medical, dental, vision)
  • Hybrid Remote Flexibility
  • PTO, 401K, and much more!

  • Collaborate with modeling and software teams to connect hardware data streams with AI inference systems
  • Own OTA update systems and device monitoring capabilities for field-deployed units
  • Contribute to long-term system design around power, latency, and robustness in edge environments
Requirements
