Staff Embedded Engineer

Role Overview

• Translate rider and operator needs into platform‑level design decisions, ensuring our vehicles are intuitive to use, reliable over years in the field and straightforward for local teams to operate and maintain.
• Architect and evolve a large‑scale distributed embedded platform spanning vehicle control systems, battery‑powered IoT devices and multi‑MCU/MPU platforms (including Zephyr / Linux‑capable systems).
• Develop and scale platforms capable of hosting multiple ML models on‑edge based on computer vision and other sensors.
• Drive the evolution of fleet‑wide OTA infrastructure, remote diagnostics and observability for hundreds of thousands of devices across 100+ cities in Europe.
• Lead technical discussions and design reviews with internal teams and external hardware suppliers and manufacturing partners.
• Improve resilience and recovery mechanisms for remotely deployed systems, including safe rollback strategies and recovery of bricked devices.
• Drive improvements in CAN‑based vehicle communication, power systems, GNSS and geofencing in dense urban environments, and sensor reliability, including Bluetooth and NFC user interactions.
• Raise the bar for engineering excellence across embedded and firmware engineering, mentoring others, refining CI/CD, testing and release processes, and introducing best‑in‑class development practices.
• Champion the strategic and pragmatic adoption of Generative AI tools to increase engineering effectiveness while protecting code quality and minimising technical debt.

Requirements

• Extensive experience building and operating embedded / firmware systems in real‑world environments at scale (ideally globally distributed connected device fleets).
• Strong skills in embedded C/C++ development and low‑power, real‑time embedded systems.
• Deep understanding of firmware architecture, hardware / software integration and distributed IoT systems.
• Proven experience debugging complex field issues across firmware, hardware, manufacturing and connectivity layers.
• Strong experience with embedded communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I²C, UART and BLE.
• It’s a plus if you have experience with: STM32‑based or other heterogeneous embedded architectures, and modern RTOS platforms such as Zephyr.
• Secure boot, TrustZone, TPMs or other embedded security architectures, as well as Embedded Linux systems.
• GNSS, geofencing, sensor fusion or other edge‑processing systems, and battery‑powered devices with a focus on power optimisation.
• Operating large, globally distributed IoT fleets across varied connectivity environments, including recovering from real‑world operational failures, factory issues or large‑scale fleet incidents.
