Embedded Systems Engineer — Camera & Sensor Integration

Tractable; Salt Lake City (UT); On-site; USD 120,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Tractable is seeking an Embedded Systems Engineer to own the device-side software/firmware for LUMA, a drive-through vehicle inspection scanner. You will work at the intersection of embedded software, hardware integration and sensor data processing, enabling new measurement capabilities and reliable operation.

You’ll own camera and sensor stacks, align timing and synchronization, develop signal processing pipelines, and drive production-ready software through lab and field deployments.

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering fundamentals including debugging, testing and reliability.
• Experience integrating sensors/devices in real-world systems.
• Comfort working close to hardware: bring-up, wiring and troubleshooting.
• Ability to take ambiguous requirements and ship maintainable systems.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and improve camera control software (triggering, timing, health monitoring, error recovery).
• Maintain and improve sensor control software (presence/distance/measurement sensors, calibration, fault handling).
• Develop new scanner capabilities.
• Implement signal processing pipelines (e.g., laser triangulation to 2D depth maps; stereo depth post-processing; filtering/denoising; coordinate transforms).
• Prototype quickly, then harden implementations to production-grade reliability.
• Support system integration and deployments: bring up new modules, validate in lab/on-vehicle, debug issues, ship fixes.
