Our Polaris RTK network and FusionEngine software deliver centimeter-level accuracy and high-confidence positioning for vehicles, robots, drones, and devices across industries. We're API-first, developer-focused, and pushing the boundaries of autonomy and automation.

    The Role

    We're seeking a Staff Embedded Software Engineer (Generalist) who thrives at the intersection of software and hardware. You'll be a key contributor to our embedded platform, developing high-performance, real-time software that integrates a wide range of sensors and navigation technologies. This role is ideal for someone who can own complex technical challenges end-to-end from early architecture to deployment in mission-critical systems.

    What You'll Do

    • Lead the design, implementation, and optimization of embedded C++ software for real-time sensor fusion and positioning systems
    • Architect robust systems that integrate GNSS receivers, inertial sensors, wheel odometry, cameras and other hardware in dynamic environments
    • Drive performance tuning and low-level optimizations across a variety of embedded platforms (ARM, microcontrollers, embedded Linux)
    • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering best practices across the team
    • Own key parts of the embedded stack, from board bring-up and driver development to system-level debugging and performance analysis
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams from hardware and firmware to cloud infrastructure and robotics customers to deliver reliable end-to-end systems
    • Contribute to technical strategy, architecture discussions, and roadmap planning

    Requirements

    • 7+ years of professional experience developing embedded systems software
    • Proven ability to design and implement major software components, incorporating customer and internal requirements, assessing system-wide impact, and driving implementation and schedule through to testing
    • Expert in modern C++ (C++14 or later), with strong understanding of system-level programming, memory management, and concurrency
    • Experience with Python or similar for automation, scripting, debugging and other non-critical workloads
    • Deep experience with embedded Linux, RTOSes, and bare-metal systems
    • Proven ability to work close to hardware board bring-up, drivers, timing-critical systems
    • Familiarity with common hardware interfaces: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN
    • Strong debugging skills and hands-on experience with tools like gdb, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes
    • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience

    Bonus Points For

    • Experience in GNSS, state estimation, Kalman filtering, or inertial navigation
    • Working knowledge of positioning technologies and error sources (e.g., multipath, drift, bias)
    • Experience with safety-critical or highly available systems in automotive, robotics, or aerospace
    • Knowledge in IP based networking, especially as implemented in Linux based operating systems

    Why Join Us

    • Build the core infrastructure powering the next generation of autonomous systems
    • Work with a passionate, technically elite team solving real-world problems at scale
    • Competitive compensation package including equity and full benefits
