Job description

Associate Software Engineer, Embedded Development

About Relay: Relay is the Intelligent System of Action for the physical economy. While the digital revolution has historically left the deskless workforce behind, we are closing that gap by transforming analog frontline operations into a data-rich, AI-powered ecosystem.

About the Role/Team: We are looking for an Associate Software Engineer to join our Embedded Development team. This is a small, high-performance team within a fast-growing organization where you will have real ownership and responsibility from day one. You will ramp up quickly, work across a broad and interesting tech stack, and have a direct impact on hundreds of thousands of physical devices in the hands of frontline workers.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate closely with device, QA, platform suppliers, external companies, and third‑party contractors to identify and resolve hardware and software issues.
• Build and maintain tooling to isolate and reproduce common application issues, accelerating debugging across internal and external teams.
• Work with a team to bring up new embedded products.
• Improve the efficiency of test and development processes across the organization.
• Write and execute black‑box tests against both hardware and software systems.
• Work across a wide range of technologies and programming languages as the product evolves.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
• Familiarity with Linux and embedded systems environments.
• A self‑starter mindset with a genuine curiosity about how hardware and software systems work — and fail.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage your own workload with minimal oversight.
• Clear, effective communication skills — including the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders — and a collaborative approach to working across teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Android development or familiarity with AOSP.
• Exposure to cellular technologies or mobile network protocols.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Bash, or similar) for test automation.
• Experience writing or executing test cases for embedded or hardware systems.
• Prior work with any version control or CI/CD tools (Git, Jenkins, etc.).

Benefits

• 100% Paid Insurance Health, Dental, Vision, Long/Short Term Disability, and Life Insurance benefits for you and those who depend on you.
• Generous Paid Time Off.
• 401(K) Savings Plan + Company Match.
• Baby Cash Reward + Paid Parental Leave.
• Wellness Perks, including a world‑class onsite fitness center with instructor‑led classes + locker room, as well as outdoor amenities such as tennis, basketball, cycling, or pickleball.
• Free Snacks and Fun Times.
• Latest tech, standing desks, and all the accessories and software you need to succeed in your role.

Work Model

At Relay, we require all team members to work from the office a minimum of 3 days per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Leaders are expected to be fully available onsite during the initial onboarding period.
