As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will own critical subsystems within our embedded stack, and your architectural decisions will shape the product. You'll bridge hardware and high-level applications across Embedded Linux, RTOS (Zephyr/FreeRTOS), and bare-metal environments — and you'll be the technical point of contact for product, hardware, cloud, and safety teams when those subsystems intersect. 

What You'll Do

• Own Critical Subsystems: Architect and implement C/C++ software for safety-critical embedded systems where reliability is non-negotiable. Your decisions will influence the product's long-term architecture.
• Drive Platform Architecture: Architect Embedded Linux user-space applications and real-time firmware for FreeRTOS/Zephyr devices. Design for failure modes, future scale, and platform reuse — not just the current product.
• Own Safety Compliance: Own the safety compliance posture of your subsystem. Partner with the safety team to embed IEC 61508 rigor into design and code without slowing development velocity.
• Architect CI/CD: Architect and evolve our GitLab CI/CD pipelines for firmware. Set the bar for automated testing, deterministic builds, and release confidence.
• Hardware Bring-Up & Debugging: Lead bring-up of new hardware. Diagnose complex bugs across the hardware/software boundary using JTAG, GDB, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
• Cross-Team Influence: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for product, QE, hardware, and cloud teams on subsystem design, integration, and trade-offs.

What You Bring

• Experience: 6+ years of hands-on embedded software development, including 2+ years working on safety-critical or regulated products.
• Core Languages: Expert proficiency in C and C++, including modern C++ patterns and safe memory management at scale.
• OS Depth: Deep experience with Embedded Linux (including BSP and low-level architecture) and proficiency with at least one RTOS (Zephyr or FreeRTOS).
• Low-Level Linux: Working knowledge of Board Support Packages (BSP) and device drivers — you've debugged below the kernel boundary, not just above it.
• Connectivity: Strong fluency with IP networking and standard interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, USB, CAN).
• Tooling: Proficient with Python for scripting/automation. Experience architecting CI/CD workflows for firmware (GitLab preferred).
• Debugging: Expert with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and GDB. You can localize hard bugs across the hardware/software boundary independently.
• Safety & Quality: Experience working under or implementing functional safety standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO-178C, or equivalent).
• Education: B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Bonus Points

• Experience with wireless stacks (BLE, ISM, Wi-Fi).
• Background in regulated industries (Medical, Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial).
• Contributions to open-source embedded or RTOS projects.

How You'll Show Up — The FORT Blueprint at this Level

• Accomplish the Impossible: You proactively automate manual toil and find creative paths through ambiguous architectural problems.
• Own Your Priorities: You're accountable for project milestones and the long-term health of your subsystem — not just the next ticket.
• Think Out Loud: You lead architectural design reviews and communicate complex trade-offs clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike.
• Build Together: You run retrospectives and post-mortems, mentor more junior engineers, and align technical goals across hardware, firmware, SIT, and cloud teams.

FORT Robotics is hiring an Associate Accountant to join our Finance team and play a hands-on role in the day-to-day accounting operations that keep the company running smoothly. You'll work closely with the Senior Finance & Accounting Analyst and gain end-to-end exposure to the accounting cycle from AP/AR through month-end close at a stage where the systems and processes you help build will scale with the company. This is a high-visibility role on a small team. You will see your work reflected in board-level reporting within your first quarter.

What You'll Own

• Month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close: Support the full close cycle, ensuring deadlines are met with accuracy and the right level of documentation for an audit-ready environment.
• Perform monthly bank reconciliations and manage inventory reconciliations to ensure book-to-physical accuracy.
• Oversee the full-cycle AP/AR process — invoice processing, vendor management, collections, and payment application.
• Verify purchase orders against receipts and resolve discrepancies in partnership with Operations and Supply Chain.
• Prepare and post journal entries and maintain the integrity of the general ledger.
• Flag friction in current workflows and partner with Finance leadership to refine processes 

What You Bring

• 1–3 years of professional accounting experience, ideally including exposure to a full close cycle.

FORT is building a physical AI safety platform used by operators, integrators, and developers in real-world environments. The platform is growing fast, and the content layer has not kept pace. This role fixes that and then builds well ahead of it.

You will own everything from the foundational documentation that customers rely on today to the knowledge architecture that powers our AI Copilot as it ships. You will use AI heavily to work at speed and apply strong editorial judgment to make sure every output is accurate, clear, and useful.

What You Will Own

• Product and release documentation: Release notes, upgrade guides, compatibility information, and operational content that customers and integrators depend on. The current state is a starting point, not the bar.
• Copilot knowledge architecture: Structure and maintain the source of truth that feeds AI-generated answers. Own accuracy. Catch errors before users do.
• In-product guidance: Contextual help, onboarding flows, and error states written to resolve questions without escalation.
• Developer and integrator surface: API docs, hardware integration guides, and SDK references are clear enough that a new integrator reaches first success without opening a support ticket.
• Content-as-signal: Track what users search for, escalate, and struggle with. Feed that back into content priorities and product decisions.
• Voice and editorial standards: Define how FORT communicates technically and apply that standard consistently across every surface.

Who You Are

• Obsessively clear: You write one sentence where others write three paragraphs. You know when to cut.
• Creative before compliant: You reach for the format that works — a decision tree, a short video, an interactive guide — before defaulting to a numbered list.
• AI-native: You use LLMs daily to draft, restructure, and pressure-test content. You know when to trust the output and when to rewrite it. Editorial judgment is the skill; prompting is just how you get there.
• Technically grounded: You can sit with hardware and firmware engineers, understand what they are shipping, and translate it accurately. You do not need to be an engineer, but you cannot be allergic to the details.
• Safety-conscious by instinct: FORT operates in physical environments where a wrong answer has consequences. You carry that standard without being reminded.

What Good Looks Like in Year One

• Documentation is no longer a liability: Customers and integrators can find accurate, current information without opening a support ticket.
• Copilot answers technical questions correctly: The AI Copilot handles common technical queries accurately. Support volume reflects it.
• Content ships with the feature: In-product guidance and Copilot context are ready on launch day, not weeks after.
• Content informs product decisions: You are in early design conversations, flagging where the experience will break down and where content will carry the load.

What You Bring

• A portfolio that shows range: Docs, in-product copy, API references, video scripts, interactive guides. Something that shows you treat format as a deliberate choice.
• Experience with technical platforms: Hardware, developer tools, industrial automation, or safety-critical systems. An understanding of what it means to get it wrong.
• AI in your daily workflow: Not as an experiment. As a core part of how you work. You can describe your process.
• Strong editorial instincts: You have pushed back on engineers who wanted to ship a spec dump instead of a clear explanation. You have examples.
