Software Engineer – IOT

Data Engineer Data Scientist 5-10 Years Exp
Job Location: South San Francisco, CA

Location: Remote (US Time Zones)
Work Hours: Must be available during US business hours (East Coast preferred)
Travel: ~20% for on-site troubleshooting and deployment
Salary: $160K to $190K
Equity: Have a stake in the business you’re helping to build and grow
Work Policy: This role is primarily remote. Live and work wherever you’re happiest and most productive

We’re looking for a backend engineer who’s operated at the edge, literally. If you’ve managed fleets of connected Linux-based devices, built tools to monitor and stabilize thousands of endpoints, and still write clean, production-grade Python, you’re who we want

This is a role for someone who owns uptime, sees logs before dashboards, and isn’t afraid to ssh into broken boxes to figure it out. You’re not just building apps. You’re building the operational backbone that keeps hardware in the field alive and accountable

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing and scaling large IoT fleets (1000 plus devices)
• Building backend systems using Python and SQL that handle real world network noise, failure states, and system health
• Working with protocols like NATS Jetstream and MQTT for device messaging and command and control
• Creating internal tools and monitoring pipelines that give teams real signal from noisy environments
• Interfacing with Linux systems at the operational level using journalctl, dmesg, systemd
• Troubleshooting remotely but flying in when it matters

What You Bring

• 5 plus years of professional software engineering experience with clear backend and IoT relevance
• Strong Python and SQL skills, not just scripts, but maintainable, deployable code
• Familiarity with observability tooling like DataDog, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or Grafana
• Deep comfort working with Linux in production environments
• Track record of building infrastructure and tools that scale and survive

Not a Fit If…

• Your experience is mostly enterprise Java or Spring Boot pipelines
• You haven’t touched a terminal in years
• You’re more interested in writing abstractions than building operational resilience

This is a backend role with real world consequences. You’ll be part of a tight technical team building resilient systems that make distributed hardware just work, no matter what the environment throws at it

Apply now if you’re the kind of engineer who prefers logs over guesses and systems that heal themselves

Senior Robotics Engineer

C++ Developer Computer Vision Engineer 2-5 Years Exp
Job Location: New York, Philadelphia

Location: Hybrid in New York or Philadelphia
Salary: $160K to $190K
Work Policy: Hybrid. Must be based in NY or Philly metro areas
Visa Sponsorship: Available. We can handle most visas

We’re hiring for an engineer who understands perception and systems. If you’ve built SLAM systems that actually run on moving robots and you’ve had to deal with sensor quirks, calibration drift, and noisy environments you’ll thrive here

This isn’t academic. This isn’t a vision only role. We want someone who’s owned the pipeline from sensor to map, who stays close to the hardware, and who ships code that survives in the real world

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and deploying SLAM systems using ground based LiDAR
• Integrating and tuning sensors directly on vehicles, drones, or mobile robots
• Working on perception systems that map environments at scale, beyond just object or room detection
• Leading sensor calibration workflows, both manual and automated
• Fusing multiple sensor types into a coherent real time perception pipeline

Must Haves

• 4 plus years working on robotics perception and mapping problems
• Deep SLAM experience using LiDAR in real environments
• Proficiency in both C++ and Python
• Strong understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic calibration, including data driven methods
• Experience with multimodal sensor fusion and ultra wide angle cameras
• Hands on mindset. You’ve worked directly with real hardware, not just datasets

What You Bring

• Curiosity, adaptability, and a mission first mindset
• Comfort with fast moving teams and real world constraints
• A practical obsession with making perception systems reliable in dynamic environments

Not a Fit If…

• Your idea of perception stops at object recognition
• You’ve only worked in one narrow part of a large perception stack
• You don’t care how the full system behaves as long as your algorithm runs

This role is about building tough, production grade robotics perception systems. You’ll be part of a team that cares about performance in the field, not theoretical benchmarks

Apply now if you want to solve hard perception problems with full system context and real world feedback

Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer 2-5 Years Exp
Job Location: El Segundo, CA

Location: El Segundo, CA
Salary: $110K to $160K
Equity: Competitive equity
Work Policy: In-person, on-site
Security: Must be a U.S. person and eligible for Top Secret security clearance

We’re hiring for an engineer who owns what they ship. This isn’t a process babysitter role. You’ll take over once design wraps and be responsible for everything until the product leaves the building, production systems, tooling, throughput, and quality.

This is a hands-on role in a high-performance environment. You’ll work closely with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams to push new capabilities into production and make them stick. If you’ve led from the floor and delivered under pressure, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Owning full system responsibility from design handoff to product out the door
• Leading implementation of new manufacturing processes and capabilities
• Designing and improving tooling to streamline production lines
• Writing clear, practical work instructions for operators and technicians
• Driving fixes and optimizations through real-time feedback and hands-on debugging

What You Bring

• 3+ years in fast-paced engineering or manufacturing environments
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field from a top-tier or Ivy League school
• Major contributor to SAE or rocket teams during undergrad
• CAD fluency in SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent
• Experience working with MES/ERP systems like Warpdrive, Manufacturo, SAP
• Solid understanding of first principles problem solving and practical systems thinking
• Exposure to electrical engineering or experience collaborating with embedded/hardware teams

How You Work

• You move fast and solve problems directly
• You build systems that are reliable under pressure
• You’re accountable to outcomes, not just tasks
• You don’t wait for permission to improve the process

This is a role for engineers who care about what happens after the design handoff. If you’re ready to take full ownership of systems that ship at scale, and thrive in an environment where the standard is high, we want to hear from you.

Apply now if you’re ready to lead from the floor and own the outcome.

We’re not looking for academics. We’re looking for engineers who deploy. If you’re deep in the stack, building models, wrangling data, working with hardware, and making it all run in the field, you’ll fit right in

This is not a research role. It’s a production-focused position where your code hits real world constraints, edge compute, real time requirements, unreliable environments, and still needs to work

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and shipping CV models for action recognition and real world video analysis
• Training and deploying large scale models using production ML workflows
• Working directly with physical environments including edge compute, robotics, manufacturing, and construction
• Owning model lifecycle from data and annotation workflows to real time inference at the edge

• Strong background in PyTorch, distributed training, and live model serving
• Deep expertise in modern CV architectures including VLMs, CNNs, LSTMs
• Comfortable with hardware and software integration and performance tuning at the edge
• Experience with large annotated video datasets and multimodal AI (vision plus language plus time)
• MS or PhD in CS, EE, or a closely related discipline

Strong Plus If You’ve Worked In

• Robotics, autonomous vehicles, edge AI, or construction and manufacturing tech
• Field-deployed CV systems in production settings, not just simulated environments

Not a Fit If…

• You only manage teams and no longer write code
• You’ve only worked in academic or lab settings
• You’re disconnected from the mission or impact of applied engineering

This is a rare role. Deep tech. Real world. High ownership. You’ll be joining a team that moves fast, builds clean, and ships code that survives in the wild

Apply now if you’re the type of engineer who cares more about deployment than demos
