"In a world of apps and services, we have a sweet spot for the interplay of hardware and software. While we shipped over 50,000 devices around the world already, we are still learning about how to make hardware products every day. We are looking forward to having a firmware engineer who is interested in learning with us."
Giovanni Donelli, Co-founder & Head of Product
We are looking for a Firmware Engineer located in the continental US who is passionate about coding for embedded devices. Our software stack is a combination of C and Rust.
