About SafelyYou

SafelyYou’s passionate mission is to empower safer, more person-centered care across senior living through world-leading AI, industry-changing hardware, and remote expert clinicians, significantly improving outcomes for residents while increasing peace of mind for families and reducing costs for communities.

Originating in 2015 as the doctoral research of CEO George Netscher—and inspired by his own family's experience with Alzheimer's disease—SafelyYou was spun out of UC Berkeley’s Artificial Intelligence Research Lab, one of the top five AI research groups in the world. And today, our company is solving critical challenges in senior living, from resident falls and ER visits to staffing concerns, length of stay, and NOI. All helping ensure that communities can focus on improved care for residents while still reaching their financial goals.

SafelyYou is one of five most innovative fall technologies referenced in the Senate Falls Report (2019), a winner of the McKnight’s Tech Partner of the Year, and has been named to Fortune’s Impact 20 list, which recognizes companies making people’s lives better through innovation.

Your Role at SafelyYou

As an Embedded Software Developer, you will design and develop our next-generation IoT AI vision sensors and SafelyYou life safety devices, which are used to monitor thousands of rooms in hundreds of facilities. The devices will combine the best of AI computing solutions with a high availability stack capable of analysis and reporting on residents' health and safety throughout the day.

You will partner closely with our product management team and peers to define, design, and implement mission-critical features. You may also mentor junior team members and lead your projects through the full development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Participate in the architecture and development of small embedded devices (RTOS, bare-metal, C/C++)

• Integrate, evaluate, and modify manufacturing partner-provided patches to the chip manufacturer’s SDK
• Improve reliability, quality, and time-to-market of our suite of software solution
• Provide technical guidance to the team through mentoring, training, and experimentation
• Make design decisions and provide recommendations throughout our entire IoT platform and within the team
• Lead by example by making quality a core aspect of the delivery
• Promote the adoption of agile best practices while being an ambassador of our company values
• Communicate passionately about the team, mission, and technology

The Ideal Candidate:

• Understands coding best practices: unit testing, automation, object-oriented programming, continuous integration and deployment
• Experience in software/firmware development and architecture for both resource-constrained micro-controllers and high-end embedded Linux devices
• Understands how to read a chip's data sheet and a schematic, and write the related device drivers (I2C, SPI, GPIOs, MIPI and ADC are example interfaces and devices)
• Experience using yocto/openembedded building embedded Linux systems and applications
• Experience with system software like systemd, cryptsetup, docker, iptables
• Experience with GStreamer or other video processing pipelines
• Experience with SoC VPUs, ISPs or other hardware video processing pipelines
• Experience with Edge AI
• Basic hardware knowledge relevant for embedded Linux devices
• 3 - 4 years of professional software development experience or equivalent in a SaaS company, preferably in a startup environment
• Proven track record of designing and developing IoT solutions, preferably with AI/Computer vision capabilities
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to collaborate multi-functionally
• Proactive about anticipating and addressing issues before they arise
• Prioritize quality over speed; When it’s done, it’s really done
• Passionate about our mission and our technology
