Senior/ Staff Embedded Software Engineer

Our mission is to move humanity off of fossil fuel heating. 20% of US global warming emissions come from homes (that’s more than cars!). The largest driver of home emissions is burning fossil fuels for heat. To stop climate change, over 80M US homes need to transition from combustion to efficient, electric heat pumps over the coming decades.

We believe for this to happen the world needs fantastic products that are easy to purchase. Today's heat pumps lack great design, make limited use of software, and are difficult and stressful to adopt. We are building a next generation, beautifully designed, AI optimized home heating and cooling system that is 10x better than what is on the market today.

Role

We are hiring for an experienced embedded software engineer to join a collaborative and talented software team delivering robust software for our first heat pump product. We are looking for individuals with strong hands-on technical experience, leadership skills, a passion for electrification, and an appreciation for building user focused products. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in embedded linux systems, excellent technical judgement, strong communication and collaboration skills, a passion for driving technical excellence, and is excited to be hands-on (coding daily) building some really cool heat pumps.

This is a full-time, hybrid position working out of our office.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement embedded software systems for complex applications, ensuring they meet performance, reliability, and security requirements.
• Contribute to the planning, execution, and delivery of embedded software projects, ensuring alignment with project timelines and company goals.
• Maintain clear and effective communication with stakeholders, providing regular updates on project status and technical challenges.
• Build APIs, drivers, and services that integrate embedded software with hardware, cloud services, and mobile applications
• Lead development of our Yocto Linux-based platform, including BSP development and kernel configuration
• Co-design and build APIs, drivers and services to ensure seamless integration of the embedded software with other parts of the stack, including hardware, firmware, cloud services, mobile applications and third-party solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product managers, hardware engineers, and data scientists. Gather system requirements and translate them into technical specifications. Co-develop cross-functional technical solutions and help troubleshoot system issues. This includes working closely with our partners, which requires occasional travel to Asia.
• Contribute to the development of the technical roadmap and long-term strategy for embedded software initiatives, as well as the general products.
• Design connectivity solutions using Matter, Thread, and WiFi protocols for seamless smart home ecosystem integration
• Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends to drive innovation and ensure the team remains at the cutting edge of technology.

Minimum qualifications

• Proven experience (5+ years) in software development, with a focus on embedded systems.
• Having shipped production embedded software for scaled hardware products.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to debug complex issues and propose effective solutions.
• Excellent track record of communication and collaboration, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
• Able to self-guide, identify problems and propose & implement solutions, to move towards a shared goal.
• Strong proficiency in an embedded programming language such as C or C++.
• Solid understanding of embedded Linux.
• Experience with two or more of the following:
• Yocto Linux (BSP creation, recipes, custom layers)
• Matter protocol implementation and device certification
• WiFi driver development and network stack integration
• Real-time kernel configuration and optimization
• IoT security & Secure Elements, device commissioning, and OTA updates
• Passion for electrification and home automation.
• Strong mission alignment around climate and decarbonization.

About

We are a growing team of ambitious people who truly care about the impact of their work. We are on a mission to accelerate a species-level human transition. For over a million years, we've been burning things to stay warm. It's time to move to a better way of living.

At , we’re on a mission to make clean, efficient heating and cooling accessible to everyone — and we know that heat pumps can play a big role in creating healthier, more climate-resilient homes. But the reality is, climate change and outdated energy systems don’t impact everyone equally. That’s why we’re building a diverse, inclusive team — because we believe the best solutions come from people with different lived experiences and perspectives. We welcome teammates of all races, ethnicities, genders, identities, abilities, and backgrounds, and we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels empowered to shape the future of climate tech.

Need accommodations during the hiring process? No problem — just let us know. We’re here to support you. (accessibility@.com)

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
