SENIOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS ENGINEER

SpanIO is seeking a seasoned and creative embedded systems engineer for a product that will reshape electricity and energy access in the home. Our goal is to adopt state-of-the-art embedded technology — ARM, Linux, Rust — to combine best-in-class security while empowering our applications developers to develop firmware at software speeds.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As our first embedded hire, we’ll look to you to design a Linux gateway that gets us to market quickly with reliable, secure monitoring and controls, while setting good foundations to keep developing and adding features.

This will include:

• Build a Linux OS with secure, robust over-the-air updating, robust filesystem + boot process, and minimal attack surface

• Implement high-rate data acquisition + soft-real-time controls for SPI peripherals on bare metal ARM Cortex-M

• Present data to userspace applications by designing a shared-memory and/or SPI interface between bare-metal and Linux on Cortex-A

• Support a small team of world-class engineers (power systems, microgrid, system integration) in developing application software

QUALIFICATIONS

We’re looking for someone who has:

• Extensive experience building embedded Linux and bare-metal systems, particularly over-the-air updating systems

• Deep understanding of network security for embedded devices

• Interest in new technology, especially Rust

• Familiarity with Cortex-A/M processor families

• Experience-driven opinions about how to write bare-metal systems correctly

• Preferred: Some experience with digital signal processing
