Job description

Bevi is on a mission to transform how beverages are delivered and consumed. Our connected beverage platform eliminates the need for single-use bottles and cans, making it easy, fun, and sustainable to stay hydrated. As the category leader in IoT-enabled beverage technology, we’re building a future where Bevi machines are everywhere people live, work, and connect. We’ve raised over $160M in venture capital, serve thousands of customers across the US, Canada, UK and Ireland, and have been rapidly growing year over year, saving over 1 billion bottles from waste.

We are searching for a Senior Embedded Engineer to join our embedded team. In this role you will lead the design and implementation of embedded and Android systems code that runs our current and future Bevi products. You will advance the firmware architecture behind our first‑to‑market smart water machine and drive the development of tools that allow our engineering team to invent, implement, and validate new ways to deliver an exceptional user experience at a rapid pace. You will collaborate closely with electrical, hardware, software, and fellow embedded engineers; drive system definition, documentation, and integration; and mentor others on the team.

Your Day to Day

• Own and evolve our multi‑board firmware architecture to support reliable operation, remote management, and diagnostics across Bevi’s expanding fleet and multiple products.
• Lead the design and implementation of firmware for electromechanical systems, including sensor integration, control algorithms, and low‑level hardware‑software interaction.
• Partner with the hardware team to drive new product bring‑up, influence architectural decisions early, and improve overall machine performance and functionality.
• Define and build internal tools that help R&D, product development, and manufacturing monitor, control, and validate systems in development and in the field.
• Lead triage and root‑cause analysis of platform and system‑level issues on both new and existing products to quickly reduce customer impact.
• Drive team process improvements, including unit test frameworks, build automation and CI/CD, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop and firmware testing capabilities.
• Champion the use of AI across the embedded team, applying it to accelerate development, code generation, testing, and debugging, and help define how we responsibly integrate AI into our firmware workflows and tooling.
• Set the bar for engineering quality through code and design reviews and strong validation practices, and mentor junior and mid‑level engineers.

Requirements

• A BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or other related field.
• 7+ years of hands‑on industry experience developing, releasing, and supporting production‑quality, reliable firmware.
• Advance‑level proficiency in embedded C and embedded C++ targeting the ARM Cortex‑M family of microcontrollers.
• Deep experience with bare‑metal and RTOS‑based applications controlling electromechanical systems.
• Demonstrated ownership across the full product development lifecycle, from initial board bring‑up through production release and sustaining support of units in the field.
• Track record of architecting firmware systems and making design decisions that balance reliability, maintainability, and speed of development.
• Highly proficient at the hardware/firmware boundary, including debugging physical systems at the board and system level using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters.
• Strong grasp of modern software development practices, including version control (e.g., git), build automation, and unit testing.
• Hands‑on experience with serial communication protocols: UART, I2C, SPI, USB, Ethernet, DSI, CSI, etc.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams including electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers.
• Experience in Android Open Source Project (AOSP) or embedded Linux is a significant plus.
• Familiarity with wireless communication protocols (e.g., LTE, WiFi) is a plus.
• Ability to take initiative and thrive in a fast‑paced environment.
• Team‑oriented approach to problem solving and knowledge generation.
• Experience working in rapidly growing or scaling companies is a plus.
• Ability to be in the office 3+ days per week.
