Résumé du poste

Symbiotic Services is seeking a Lead Embedded Systems Engineer to architect a scalable, Go-powered edge/cloud platform for next-generation smart bed technology. You will drive real-time MCU software, embedded Linux expertise, and distributed system design.

The role emphasizes replacing legacy Bluetooth with Wi-Fi/MQTT, and close collaboration with a Dallas-based founder to define embedded strategy and standards.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• 5+ years embedded firmware development (C/C++, ideally Go).
• Deep familiarity with embedded Linux (Debian or Yocto).
• Strong understanding of network protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, MQTT.
• Expertise in multi-threaded and multi-process system design.
• Proficiency with Git and modern CI/CD workflows.
• Demonstrated initiative through side projects, open-source contributions, or research work.

Responsabilités

• Design and implement real-time MCU applications on Debian/Yocto.
• Define scheduling models and concurrency for time-critical tasks.
• Architect and maintain C/C++ and Go state machines, message brokers, and APIs.
• Migrate from Bluetooth LE to Wi-Fi + MQTT for device communication.
• Build containerized cross-compilation toolchains and CI/CD hardware simulators.
• Define coding standards, code review guidelines, and Git branching strategies.
• Partner with data scientists to design pipelines for time-series data.
• Support model deployment and on-device inference.

Description du poste

Addison, United States | Posted on 01/12/2026

Symbiotic Services is hiring on behalf of a pioneering client buildingnext-generation smart bed technology. We’re seeking aLead Embedded Systems Engineerto architect and drive the development of anintelligent, distributed IoT platformfor sleep technology, featuring:

• Hundreds of precision actuatorsfor fine-grained mechanical control
  
• Wi-Fi-based device orchestrationusing MQTT publish/subscribe messaging
  
• Embedded Linux (Debian / Yocto)systems at the edge
  
• AI/ML-driven analytics pipelinesfor real-time sleep optimization
  

This role is ideal for a senior-level Computer Scientist or Embedded Systems professional ready toreplace a legacy Bluetooth-based control planewith amodern, horizontally scalable, Go-powered edge/cloud architecture. You’ll collaborate directly with a Dallas-based founder—an established leader in the furniture manufacturing space—while defining the embedded systems strategy from the ground up.

What You’ll Lead

• Design and implement real-time MCU applications running on Debian or Yocto Linux distributions.
  
• Define deterministic scheduling models and concurrency patterns for time-critical tasks.
  

Core Application Development

• Architect and maintainC/C++andGostate machines, message brokers, and device control APIs.
  
• Apply CS principles in distributed systems, message serialization, and protocol design.
  

IoT System Modernization

• Migrate fromBluetooth LE (BlueZ stack)toWi-Fi + MQTTfor robust, low-latency device communication.
  
• Implement fault-tolerant reconnection strategies and QoS policies.
  

Tooling and Testing Infrastructure

• Build containerized cross-compilation toolchains and CI/CD-compatible hardware simulators.
  
• Develop automated HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) test harnesses.
  

Engineering Standards and DevOps

• Define coding standards, code review guidelines, and branching strategies in Git.
  
• Establish CI/CD workflows for embedded + cloud integration.
  
• Partner with data scientists to design pipelines for ingesting, storing, and analyzing time-series sensor data.
  
• Support model deployment and feedback loops for on-device inference.
  

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. inComputer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent discipline.
  
• 5+ years professional experience inembedded firmwaredevelopment (C/C++, ideally Go).
  
• Deep familiarity with embedded Linux internals (Debian or Yocto).
  
• Strong understanding ofnetwork protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, MQTT.
  
• Expertise in multi-threaded and multi-process system design.
  
• Proficiency with Git and modern CI/CD workflows.
  
• Demonstrated initiative through side projects, open-source contributions, or research work.
  

Preferred Skills

• Docker based embedded development workflows.
  
• Python or Bash scripting for build/test automation.
  
• Bluetooth LE / BlueZ experience for legacy support.
  
• Hands-on debugging with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD.
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• Architect-Level Impact:Own the embedded systems roadmap.
  
• Cutting-Edge Tech Stack:Work at the intersection of embedded systems, IoT, and ML.
  
• Industry-Backed Vision:Partner with a proven leader in manufacturing innovation.
  
• 10% of your week dedicated to exploration and open-source projects.
  
• Professional Growth:Clear trajectory toward principal/architect roles.
  
• Learning Culture:Attend global events likeGopherConorEmbedded World.
  
• Team Synergy:Participate in quarterly offsites with cross-disciplinary teams.
