About The Position

About TRUCE Software TRUCE Software is the leading provider of workplace and fleet safety solutions. Our software automatically manages mobile device usage, helping organizations reduce distractions, improve compliance, and create safer workplaces. About the Role We are expanding our Baton Rouge engineering team to support development of next-generation TRUCE products, including a custom dash camera platform. This role is ideal for an embedded engineer who enjoys working close to hardware and defining systems from the ground up. Because this position involves hands-on board bring-up, hardware debugging, and lab-based validation, regular in-office collaboration is expected. Remote flexibility is available when lab presence is not required. You will work across embedded firmware, wireless communication (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), camera systems, and on-device machine learning while owning firmware quality, validation strategy, and long-term reliability.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
Professional experience developing embedded firmware in C/C++
Experience with real-time or resource-constrained systems
Experience interfacing with hardware peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.)
Strong debugging skills at the firmware / hardware boundary
Experience developing structured test plans and system-level validation
Ability to work onsite in Baton Rouge on a regular basis

Nice To Haves

Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth experience in embedded systems
RTSP, video streaming, or multimedia pipeline experience
Camera module or image sensor integration
SD card interfaces and embedded file systems
Machine-learning inference deployment on embedded devices
RTOS or bare-metal systems
Python for tooling, automation, or testing
Experience supporting product validation or manufacturing test

Responsibilities

Design and implement embedded firmware for custom dash camera platforms
Develop multimedia pipelines including RTSP streaming and SD card storage
Integrate and configure camera sensors for capture and tuning
Develop and maintain wireless communication (Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Aware/NAN, Bluetooth)
Enable execution of pretrained ML inference models on embedded hardware
Optimize firmware for performance, memory, power, and long-duration stability
Bring up and debug new hardware in collaboration with the electrical engineering team
Contribute to firmware architecture and long-term platform strategy
Develop structured test plans and detailed test cases
Execute system-level validation across video, storage, wireless, and ML subsystems
Build automated regression and test tooling (Python or similar)
Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or bench-level test environments
Support manufacturing test and production firmware validation
Investigate field failures and implement corrective actions
