Embedded Software Engineer, Safety-Critical Systems
Hybrid (San Francisco, CA)Full-timePosted 2mo ago
About the role
Senior and Staff Software Engineers sought to architect, build, and own major areas of Bedrock's embedded safety controller for autonomous machines, spanning drivers, RTOS bring-up, applications, and system integration in a mixed-criticality environment.
Responsibilities
- Build safety-critical software that controls the base machine and monitors the health of the Bedrock system, with strict isolation and deterministic real-time execution.
- Develop across the full embedded software stack, spanning drivers, RTOS, communication, middleware, and applications.
- Interface with and control a broad range of heavy machinery across machine types and manufacturers, and design the abstractions that keep our system flexible and portable.
- Extend the platform to the embedded devices that keep machines running in the field, like power management, sensor cleaning, and lighting, so the system can keep working through long stretches in harsh conditions.
Qualifications
- Experience building and shipping embedded systems in robotics, automotive, drones, or other safety-critical embedded contexts.
- Strong embedded programming skills in a systems language such as C++ or Rust, plus fluency in Python for scripting and analysis.
- Solid foundation building software for resource constrained systems with real-time requirements.
- Comfortable developing, automating, and debugging across the hardware/software boundary.
- Track record of leading projects, driving design decisions, and working effectively across hardware, autonomy, and platform teams.
