Embedded Systems Jobs

[fully remote, UTC-4 to UTC-7]

Golioth is looking for a new team member to contribute to our mission of building the best embedded-developer-focused Internet of Things (IoT) platform.

We have collected decades of experience (and frustration) with existing platforms and decided to take a fresh new approach using combination of modern open source tools, latest developments in the industry, and close collaboration with our customers and the (open-source) developer community.

We are a small team at a seed stage venture funded startup.

And we’d like you to be part of the story as the hands-on technical leader of our firmware engineering team, with an initial focus on the Zephyr OS!

See below what we are looking for, and what we are offering in return.

•     Experience designing an SDK and / or large cross-platform libraries
•     Experience interfacing cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP)
•     Experience interfacing radio stacks (Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Thread, LoRaWAN)
