• Evaluate emerging technologies and shape future product direction

Ideal Profile:

• 10+ years of hands-on embedded systems/firmware development (IoT or sensor-focused)
• Advanced knowledge of LoRa, BLE, and OTA functionality in constrained systems
• Familiarity with cellular protocols (CAT-M1, NB-IoT) and the Nordic nRFConnect SDK
• Strong experience in RF systems: antenna tuning, mesh networks, and large-scale rollouts
• Background in vibration analysis and signal processing for predictive applications
• Mastery of C/C++ on embedded platforms (ARM Cortex-M, RTOS/bare-metal); Zephyr RTOS a plus
• Proven leadership in complex hardware/firmware projects
• Proficient in using debugging tools (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, JTAG)
• Strong communicator, able to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders

Compensation and Benefits:

• Competitive base salary around $120,000 annually.
• Full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• 401(k) with employer match.
