Senior Embedded Software Engineer
About The Position
We do things differently at Electric Era. If you’ve ever wanted to really own software engineering design decisions and take control of your designs all the way through to implementation we have that here. Everyone, from our junior engineers to our CEO, has a strong ownership mentality. We have a small, lean, hard-charging team; we can’t afford not to have people obsessed with owning engineering outcomes. If you want your stuff to see the light of day fast, we have that here. No miles of red tape or bureaucracy. If it’s important, it happens. If it’s easily messed up, it’s simplified, then given a process. If the process is onerous, it’s deleted. We don’t have time to sit around, so you can guarantee that things move fast. The best idea wins; everyone can and is expected to contribute to good system design, to challenge bad requirements and decision decisions, and always move the puck forward. Electric Era is looking for strong embedded software engineers that want everything described above. You will be part of a world-class team that owns the complete product life cycle deliverable from ideation, development, implementation, testing and troubleshooting real problems in the field.
