Copper Home | Staff Embedded Systems Engineer | ONSITE (Berkeley, CA)

Copper Home (fka Channing Street Copper) builds battery-integrated induction appliances for home electrification — we're making decarbonization accessible by putting energy storage inside everyday products, starting with the stove.

The firmware team is small and owns application firmware, device connectivity, automated testing, manufacturing tools, and an MQTT backend for OTA updates and fleet telemetry.

We're hiring a staff embedded systems engineer focused core firmware architecture on the Charlie induction range.

In this role, you may:

- Own major pieces of our embedded platform and prototypes of future products.

- Lead improvements to device connectivity (Wi-Fi, BLE, OTA, provisioning, failure recovery) and energy management.

- Evolve fleet management, telemetry, and remote management/update systems with a focus on robustness and cost efficiency at scale.

- Mentor engineers through design reviews and day-to-day technical collaboration.

Tech stack: C and Python; FreeRTOS on ESP-IDF; 802.11, BLE, CAN; MQTT; AWS

Salary: $182k–$210k + equity

(disclosure: I'm an engineer at Swift Navigation)

Indeed, carrier phase and multi-frequency+constellation measurements are drifting into consumer hardware, but I can say that it's probably going to be a Good Long While before we full realize its benefits. The use of cell phones (and cheap cell phone antennas) is an active area of research, particularly for organizations aiming to make high-accuracy GNSS positioning widely accessible outside of specialty markets (i.e., agriculture and surveying). It's an interesting area to be in for sure:

Swift Navigation (San Francisco, CA) - Full Time

Swift Navigation is a 10ish-person, high-accuracy GPS hardware startup based out of San Francisco. We are venture funded, recently won the Qualcomm QPrize, and have a fantastic slate of paying customers.

Swift is currently looking to fill roles in embedded systems firmware engineering and business development, but are open to awesome folks more generally.

We have a number of fun projects in-progress: RF/embedded design for satellite receivers, modeling/algorithm design for GPS estimation and control problems, functional programming (Haskell!) for platform infrastructure and performance-critical embedded code generation, and continuous testing/integration of complex firmware releases.

In business development, you'll be responsible for driving direct sales, expanding the availability of high-accuracy GPS into entirely new markets in machine automation, such as precision agriculture, UAVs, mining equipment, and other autonomous or self-driving systems.

If you'd like to apply, send a note to jobs@swiftnav.com. I'll also be happy to answer any questions at mookerji@swiftnav.com.

Swift Navigation is a 9ish-person, high-accuracy GPS hardware startup based out of Lemnos Labs in San Francisco. We are venture funded, recently won the Qualcomm QPrize, and have a fantastic slate of paying customers.

We have a number of fun projects in-progress: RF/embedded design for satellite receivers, modeling/algorithm design for GPS estimation and control problems, functional programming (Haskell!) for platform infrastructure, and compilers/tools for performance-critical embedded code generation.

We're currently looking for a __product-focused engineer__ interested in embedded systems prototyping but also in collaborating with many of our existing customers in research and industry to improve our main product (http://swiftnav.com/piksi.html). This role will be particularly important as we expand the availability of high-accuracy GPS into entirely new markets (UAVs, machine automation, agriculture).

For next year: __interns__, particularly anyone interested in getting some independent project experience with some of the projects above.

If you'd like to apply, send a note to jobs@swiftnav.com. iI you're awesome and really want to contribute in some other way not listed? Let us know! I'll also be happy to answer any questions at mookerji@swiftnav.com.

The Climate Corporation (San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis; H1B Transfer) @ http://climate.com/careers

The Climate Corporation's mission is to help all the world's people and businesses manage and adapt to climate change. We use a combination of weather monitoring, agronomic modeling, and weather simulation to provide real-time pricing and purchasing of customizable weather insurance to farmers in the United States.

Climate's technical staff numbers around 80, and we're hiring full-time employees across many teams as we expand efforts on a new class of decision support tools for growers. Work is split across groups focusing on web applications for farmers and agents, risk and insurance policy management, internal platform and data services, and scientific modeling and research, with roles for:

1. Software engineering generalists with solid CS fundamentals, particularly anyone interested in building (i) entirely new, large-scale distributed data services for scientific computing (we use Clojure); and (ii) web applications (Rails, Python, Javascript, and iOS) used by farmers to manage weather risk.

2. Quantitative researchers in statistics/ML, stochastic optimization, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, and agronomics. Our goal is to forecast statistical distributions of crop yield for any piece of arable land, synthesizing satellite images, digital elevation models, weather data, agricultural statistics, and geological surveys into multi-scale models that underly our data services.

3. Experienced technical team leads, operations engineers, product managers, and designers to pull all this together into a compelling product.

The scale and interdisciplinary nature of the work drive a lot of cross-collaboration within the company, supported by a pressing need to build durable solutions to some very important problems.

Competitive salary, excellent benefits, stock options, etc. Our 25% time is lumped into two-week sabbaticals. The usual details about these positions are here: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?bj=o7B8Wfww&s=hackernews

I write Clojure for a small scientific software engineering team building Climate's agricultural yield models. If you're interested or have any questions, send me an email at bmookerji@climate.com or tech-recruit@climate.com with [april2014-hn] in the subject heading.
