Senior Embedded Systems Engineer (Wireless Product Development)
About the Role
As an Embedded Systems Engineer at PassiveLogic, you’ll co-lead the development of our suite of wireless products, from zero to manufacture. You’ll collaborate closely with the electrical, mechanical, industrial design, and verification/validation (V&V) teams to deliver robust, innovative solutions. This role demands a disciplined, independent leader with stellar embedded software skills, a systems-level mindset and the ability to self-teach and solve tough problems. You will contribute to shaping the product vision, drive its execution, and ensure it meets our standards for quality and efficiency.
About PassiveLogic®
PassiveLogic is the first fully autonomous platform for buildings. We’ve reinvented the fundamental principles of automation to democratize technology, optimize buildings, and reduce the world’s carbon footprint. We are a team of technologists, engineers, and creatives dedicated to making a sustainable impact through real-world solutions.
We are looking for team members who have a passion for technology and who want to work on cutting-edge problems with real-world solutions. Our culture is built on bringing together the most talented engineers, thinkers, and creatives—backed by the world’s leading investors—working together to make the future a reality.
What you’ll do
Develop embedded systems: Lead the end-to-end development of ultra-low-power wireless devices, from architecture design to high-volume production. Write and optimize production-ready C code for embedded systems running TI-RTOS and Zephyr RTOS.
