About the job

Embedded Software Engineer - Embedded Systems & Firmware

Company Overview:

At Specter, we are pioneering a software-centric control plane for tangible assets, focusing initially on safeguarding American enterprises by providing comprehensive oversight of their physical resources.

We are developing an integrated hardware-software ecosystem leveraging cutting-edge multi-modal wireless mesh sensing technology, which dramatically reduces the cost and timeline for sensor deployment by 10-fold. Our platform aspires to be the perception engine for a company’s physical presence, facilitating real-time visibility of perimeters, autonomous management of operations, and the creation of digital twins for physical processes.

Led by our passionate co-founders Xerxes and Philip, our small but dynamic team hails from notable organizations such as Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U. S. Special Forces, committed to empowering partners in the rapidly evolving fields of physical AI and robotics.

Role Overview:

We are on the lookout for an Embedded Software Engineer who will take charge of the complete on-device software stack for our distributed wireless mesh sensor nodes, including the integration of RF modules, cameras, and multi-modal sensors.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, implement, and maintain high-performance, reliable firmware and software for Specter’s existing and future edge devices, encompassing a variety of embedded platforms (embedded Linux on SoCs, RTOS, bare-metal on microcontrollers).

  • Lead the integration of RF modules, cameras, and multi-modal sensors (e.g., environmental, motion, acoustic) within the embedded software stack, which includes driver development, data pipelines, and hardware enablement.

  • Conduct board bring-up, interpret datasheets/schematics, and troubleshoot complex hardware/software interactions utilizing oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, and other diagnostic tools.

  • Work closely with Hardware Engineering (EE, RF, ME), Product Engineering, and backend software teams to collaboratively design interfaces, support new hardware platforms, and facilitate rapid prototyping and iteration from concept to production deployment.

  • Build and maintain documentation related to the embedded software development lifecycle.

About Specter

Specter is at the forefront of developing a software-defined control plane for the physical world, aiming to enhance the security and operational efficiency of American businesses through advanced perceptual technologies.
