Sobre esta vaga de Senior Platform Engineer (Embedded Linux) na Matic
Company Overview
Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.
Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've built what amounts to "full self-driving in the home” with real-time 3D mapping, adaptive path-tracking, and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes, using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.
Privacy First
What happens in the home, stays in the home. Our robots are private by design, with all data processing performed by the robot itself, not in the cloud.
Our Approach
Before the iPhone, consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones, PDAs, and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics, starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.
Our Culture
Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We're ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.
About the role
Matic is hiring a senior-level Embedded Linux Engineer to join us (pre-launch) on the ground floor, with runway for huge and immediate impact.
In this role, you'd be joining our Platform team, which works on a diverse set of problems, ranging from low-level driver and kernel development all the way up to interfacing with the complex perception algorithms running locally on the robot, with high performance expectations and very limited computes.
We're looking for someone with strong embedded Linux and C/C++ skills who's also eager to learn Rust. If you're driven by high levels of ownership and solving complex problems, we’d love to chat! You can check out our blog here: https://maticrobots.com/blog/why-rust-its-the-safe-choice/
What you'll do
Develop core device systems software and functionality from the ground up
Enable mechanical engineering and other teams by building a robust software stack that interacts with firmware, motors, sensors and other software agents
Work with both EE and software teams to ensure feature feasibility & functionality
Perform root cause analysis of system crashes and hardware failures
Identify bugs & bottlenecks to improve system performance
Develop and debug pipelines for data from cameras and other sensors
Be an integral member of our small software team
What we look for
5+ years of industry experience
Strong familiarity with userspace Linux programming and conventions & working knowledge of Linux kernel internals
Deep experience in multi-threaded C
Familiarity with a systems scripting language, such as Shell or Python
Knowledge of common communication protocols (e.g. USB, RS232, TCP/IP/HTTP)
Experience with working on C, or C++ microcontroller firmware is a big plus
Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work
High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work
We'd love to hear from you if...
You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones
You love diagnosing complex technical issues
You are excited to do great work
Compensation
Base $160,000 — $240,000
