About The Position

Join a team of passionate and creative engineers dedicated to building
technologies that will shape the future. We are a cross-functional group that
thrives on collaboration, innovation, and tackling challenging problems to
create products that are both profoundly useful and delightful to use. Our work
lies at the intersection of groundbreaking hardware, software, and design, and
we are looking for a key contributor to help us explore what's possible. We are
seeking a versatile Sr. Software System Engineer with end-to-end expertise to
accelerate the exploration of new concepts. In this role, you will be
responsible for the entire lifecycle of complex concepts, from initial hardware
design and sensor integration to software development and the application of
machine learning. You are a builder at heart, someone who can seamlessly
navigate the stack from low-level firmware to high-level applications to bring
innovative ideas to life.

DESCRIPTION

As a Sr. Software Systems Engineer, you will be a critical member of a
multi-disciplinary team, responsible for rapidly prototyping and validating
novel concepts. Your work will directly influence future product direction by
demonstrating the viability and potential of new technologies.

Requirements
