Senior Embedded Software Engineer
SabaTalent
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with practical experience building
robust, high-volume software solutions. You will be writing applications on embedded, IoT
devices that provide 3D indoor positioning using RF and communicate to cloud applications for
a Bay Area, well-funded startup. You should have at least 7 years or more of experience as a
software engineer. Hands-on experience working with embedded Linux, OpenWRT, QNX,
VXWorks, or other RTOS is required. You should be comfortable with micro controller
peripheral control buses (such as SPI, UART, I2C, JTAG, etc.) with a basic knowledge of device
drivers, boot loaders, and communication protocol stacks. Signal processing experience and
experience with DSPs and FPGAs are highly desired. This role is fast-paced, supporting a
variety of embedded platforms, with the opportunity to be a key member in designing and
bringing up a new embedded board for 3D positioning.
This role operates closely with Research, Hardware, and business development teams. The
successful individual must be self-motivated and have the ability to proactively solve problems
and complete mission objectives.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
● Design, code, and work on IoT devices.
● Develop and implement algorithms utilizing peripheral I/O components (such as
accelerometer) to improve positioning accuracy.
● Develop software for IoT device provisioning, diagnostics, and telemetry.
● Work with the hardware team to test, verify, and prototype new hardware
functionality.
● Identify and champion proposals to improve development processes, reduce
system cost, and improve system quality.
● Be a self-starter, own your work from concept to deployment.
● Work in an environment that supports your individual growth.
MUST HAVE ATTRIBUTES/SKILLS

SHOULD HAVE ATTRIBUTES/SKILLS
● BSc or higher degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related subject.
● Experience with ISM band wireless devices such as wireless access points.
● Linux experience for running and developing test scripts.
● Experience with JTAG, logic analyzers, use of oscilloscopes, and other hardware
development tools.
● Experience securing IoT devices (flash encryption, code signing, secure-JTAG,
hardware fuse, etc.).
● Strong debugging and analytical skills for embedded platforms.
● Experience with board bring-up.
● Ability to read electrical schematics and electrical component datasheets.
● Experience using version control systems such as Git.
NICE TO HAVE ATTRIBUTES/SKILLS
● Experience with AWS IoT Core ( Authentication, Registry, Shadow, etc.).
● Experience with FPGA development (VHDL, Verilog).
● Experience developing and modifying the bootloader (UBoot).
● Experience developing device drivers.
