    Default job background
    Description


    WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather models with a unique proprietary data source: constellations of next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data.

    We then combine that unique data source with the world's most accurate

    AI weather models.

    Our long-term vision is to eliminate weather uncertainty, and in the process help humanity adapt to climate change, be that predicting hurricanes or speeding the adoption of renewables.

    The founding team of Stanford engineers was named Forbes under 30 and is backed by top investors including Khosla Ventures.

    WindBorne is looking for a Firmware Engineer to work on our firmware that flies on thousands of balloons around the globe.

    We need someone with a special interest and background in the lowest levels of software as we grow our platform software engineering team.

    You will play a key role in the software stack that powers the most comprehensive balloon constellation on the planet.

    A balloon + flight paths from over 600 flights conducted by WindBorne

    We're dedicated to both mitigating climate change and helping humanity adapt to its effects as fast as possible, and you can be a part of our mission to make this global societal impact.

    If you like the idea of working on cutting edge technology, and working with a fast moving team, WindBorne is the place for you.

    Responsibilities


    You will write and maintain software at the lowest levels of our software stack that provides the interface between hardware and software.

    We have a custom hardware abstraction layer for the main family of MCU's that we use, called AMSLAH, written by a cofounder.

    But, it badly needs love and new features, so you will become the new owner of this code.

    You will also write drivers for new chips, and potentially write code for FPGA's that we may embed into parts of the platform.

    You will work closely with people doing R&D on novel sensing methods as we seek to improve accuracy of our meteorological measurements with novel techniques.

    Skills and Qualifications

    You must be fluent in C/C++. You should have experience writing low-level drivers for a number of various chips. You should be familiar with all the common communication protocols like SPI, UART, I2C, etc.

    You don't necessarily need to be an expert in HDL, but you should have at least written some in your life so far for a decently complex project.

    You must be fluent in Python, though ideally you ever so slightly look down on software engineers who only write interpreted languages, but maybe you wouldn't admit this because you are too nice.

    You should be comfortable reading PCB schematics, and it would be cool if you've done a bit of EE yourself and have held a soldering iron before.
