• Full end-to-end ownership of hardware and software, moving rapidly from architectural prototypes to thousands of deployed industrial machines.

What you will do:

• Architect and design scalable system architectures and PCBAs involving mixed-signal industrial I/O and communications.
• Develop and ship robust firmware using Embedded C/C++, RTOS, and Embedded Linux (Yocto) for fleet-wide deployment.
• Integrate end-products with production tools, factory acceptance rigs, and fleet management systems to ensure seamless industrial scaling.

The ideal candidate:

• Expert in PCB design (Altium/KiCAD) and firmware development using Embedded C/C++ and RTOS environments.
• Experienced with Embedded Linux, Yocto Project, and industrial communication protocols like Modbus, CAN bus, and OPC UA.
• Hands-on engineer familiar with functional safety standards (IEC 61508) and designing for manufacturing and test (DfMA/DfT).

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
