Aeris Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Project Canary, develops and commercializes advanced, laser-based gas analyzers for trace gas monitoring across environmental, industrial, laboratory, and field applications. Aeris instruments deliver high-precision, real-time measurements of greenhouse gases, atmospheric pollutants, and natural gas leak indicators, helping customers collect reliable data in fixed, mobile, handheld, and aerial configurations.

As part of Project Canary, Aeris supports a broader climate technology platform that helps energy companies improve and report on their emissions footprint. Project Canary combines high-fidelity sensors, data from multiple technologies and sources, and proprietary analytics to deliver actionable insights that help operators stop leaks faster, reduce risk, streamline reporting, and differentiate their operations for key stakeholders.

Aeris’s technology brings lab-grade gas sensing performance into the field, supporting applications in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, air quality, research, and emissions measurement.

The Software Engineer (Rust) will be working with the Engineering team at Aeris Technologies, based out of our office in Hayward, CA. They will focus on writing firmware for embedded systems in the electronics of Laser Spectroscopy Sensors. This role will require reading datasheets and schematics to develop communication platforms for new and existing sensors, new board bring up, and various other firmware and embedded systems related tasks.

About the Company

Project Canary

SaaS-based emissions data analytics platform

Project Canary provides a SaaS-based data analytics platform focused on environmental performance for emissions-intensive industries, especially oil and gas. It collects data from its own continuous monitoring sensors, third-party sensors, OGI cameras, and satellites to generate real-time, facility-level emissions insights through the Canary Carbon Portal, which supports GHG reporting and regulatory compliance. The company differentiates itself by combining end-to-end measurement with a SaaS analytics layer and an independent TrustWell certification, enabling verifiable emissions data and an objective facility rating. Its goal is to help customers reduce methane and other emissions, improve ESG reporting, and expand solutions to broader markets like agriculture and landfills.
