Systems Engineer (Embedded Linux)

Matic is hiring a motivated Embedded Linux Engineer to join us (pre-launch) on the ground floor, with runway for huge and immediate impact.

In this role, you'd be joining our Platform team, which works on a diverse set of problems, ranging from low-level driver and kernel development all the way up to interfacing with the complex perception algorithms running locally on the robot, with high performance expectations and very limited computes.

We're looking for someone with strong embedded Linux and C/C++ skills who's also eager to learn Rust. If you're driven by high levels of ownership and solving complex problems, we’d love to chat! You can check out our blog here: https://maticrobots.com/blog/why-rust-its-the-safe-choice/

What you'll do

• Develop core device systems software and functionality from the ground up

• Enable mechanical engineering and other teams by building a robust software stack that interacts with firmware, motors, sensors and other software agents

• Work with both EE and software teams to ensure feature feasibility & functionality

• Perform root cause analysis of system crashes and hardware failures

• Identify bugs & bottlenecks to improve system performance

• Develop and debug pipelines for data from cameras and other sensors

• Be an integral member of our small software team

What we look for

• >1 year of industry experience

• Strong familiarity with userspace Linux programming and conventions & working knowledge of Linux kernel internals

• Deep experience in multi-threaded C

• Familiarity with a systems scripting language, such as Shell or Python

• Knowledge of common communication protocols (e.g. USB, RS232, TCP/IP/HTTP)

• Experience with working on C, or C++ microcontroller firmware is a big plus

• Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work

• High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

We'd love to hear from you if...

• You are genuinely motivated to help those around you

• You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones

• You love diagnosing complex technical issues

• You are excited to do great work

If you got to this point, we hope you're feeling excited about this opportunity at Matic! Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We're eager to meet people who are keen to learn and are passionate about what Matic is building. We want to hear how you can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just the above boxes.
