Job summary

Echodyne seeks a Senior Software Engineer, IoT Platform, to drive edge-to-cloud integration for its next-gen radar platforms. You will lead edge development in high-performance languages, coordinate with AWS services, and ensure secure, scalable data flows from hardware to cloud.

You will mentor engineers, own critical edge components, and balance latency, bandwidth, and reliability while delivering fast R&D cycles and robust device-to-cloud contracts.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience developing middleware/services on hardware/client devices.
• Strong proficiency in high-performance languages (Rust or C++).
• Exposure to Python is a plus.
• Deep experience with AWS IoT Core, SDKs, and RESTful APIs.
• Leadership experience as a Lead or Senior Engineer (3+ years).
• Solid secure coding practices and AuthN/AuthZ concepts on edge devices.
• Understanding of the edge-to-cloud data journey and cloud ingestion layers.
• Ability to move fast and maintain sound engineering judgment in rapid R&D environments.

Responsibilities

• Develop & integrate edge components with AWS cloud services and APIs.
• Design robust interfaces for reliability in disconnected or high-latency environments.
• Collaborate with the Principal Cloud TechLead to implement secure, high-throughput device-to-cloud contracts.
• Mentor engineers on the edge team and promote code quality and best practices.
• Identify technical risks early and ensure a durable edge-to-cloud bridge.

Job description

Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).

Echodyne is seeking a Senior Software Engineer , IoT Platform, to join our fast-growing team.

Who You Are

You are a technical, hands-on lead engineer who thrives at the intersection of edge computing and cloud-native integration. You lead by example—writing clean, high-performance code while mentoring the engineers on your team. You are comfortable going deep into on-device logic while simultaneously navigating AWS services to ensure a seamless "edge-to-cloud" connection. You are a builder and a driver, ensuring that the components living on the radar are built with clarity, reliability, and real-world mission constraints in mind.

Required Experience

• Hands-on Edge Development: Strongproficiencyinhigh performance languages likeRust orC++, with a focus on building middleware or services that live directly on hardware/client devices.Pythonexperience a nice to have.
• AWS API & Service Expertise: Deep experience working with AWS IoT Core, AWS SDKs, and RESTful APIs. You understand how toleveragecloud services (e.g., Kinesis, S3, Lambda) from an edge perspective to manage telemetry and state.
• Technical Leadership: Experience as a Lead or Senior Engineer (3+ years in leadership) witha track recordof driving a small team to meet delivery commitments.
• Security Fundamentals: Solid understanding of secure coding practices and the implementation ofAuthN/AuthZ(e.g., X.509 certificates, IAM roles) and data privacy on edge devices.
• Full-Stack Visibility: Understanding of the tiered software stack, from on-device telemetry and middleware to the cloud-side ingestion layers.
• Bias for Action: Proven ability to move fast andmaintainsound engineering judgment in 0 → 1 or rapid R&D environments.

What Sets You Apart

• The Integration Specialist: Youdon'tjust write code for the device; you understand the entire data journey, ensuring that edge logic and AWS APIs work in perfect harmony.
• Architectural Empathy: You understand the unique constraints of the edge (latency, bandwidth) and can translate those into actionable integration requirements.
• Low-Ego Ownership: Youoperatewith an impact-driven mindset, taking full accountability for the technical success and reliability of the device-side software.

What You Do

• Develop & Integrate: Act as a technical driver for components living on the edge, specifically focusing on how those components interact with AWS cloud services and APIs.
• Shepherd Local Innovation: Drive the design and implementation of robust interfaces that ensure reliability in "disconnected" or high-latency environments.
• Collaborate in Tandem: Workcloselywith the Principal Cloud TechLeadto implement the contracts and protocolsrequiredfor secure, high-throughput device-to-cloud communication.
• Mentor & Coach: Support the growth of engineers on the edge team, ensuringhigh standardsfor code quality, AWS integration best practices, and pragmatic development.
• Anticipate Challenges: Use your hands-on engineering background toidentifytechnical risks early and ensure the edge-to-cloud bridge is durable and secure.
