We're a well-funded stealth startup backed by proven founders, building the next generation of AI-powered consumer hardware. We're assembling a small, elite team to create revolutionary products that integrate cutting-edge voice, vision, and AI technologies. If you're excited about building embedded systems from the ground up and shipping world-changing technology—we'd love to talk.

Role

Join as our firmware lead to build the embedded software that brings our device to life. You'll work directly with founders who've built unicorn companies and know how to ship fast. This is embedded systems at its finest—low-level firmware that seamlessly integrates AI processing, audio, vision, and hardware into a responsive, always-on device.

What You'll Do

• Build drivers for cameras, microphones, sensors, and audio hardware
• Implement real-time audio and video processing pipelines
• Work with audio processing libraries (AEC, noise suppression, beamforming)
• Optimize video capture and streaming for AI inference
• Implement power management for always-on AI functionality
• Work on Linux-based system software and AI model integration
• Handle OTA updates, bootloaders, and system reliability
• Collaborate with hardware team on bring-up and validation

Requirements

• 5+ years embedded systems or firmware development experience
• Strong C/C++ programming for embedded systems
• Experience with Linux kernel, device drivers, and RTOS
• Background with audio/video hardware interfaces (I2S, I2C, SPI, USB, CSI, etc.)
• Knowledge of ARM or similar embedded processors
• Experience with camera modules and video capture systems
• Understanding of power management and optimization techniques
• Track record of shipping consumer electronics products
• Experience integrating audio processing libraries (AEC, AGC, VAD) +++
• Background with video AI integration (face detection, object recognition) +++

Why Join

• Build an ambitious product with real-world impact from prototypes to mass production
• Work with founders who've built unicorn companies and know how to ship fast
• Competitive compensation, equity, and the chance to shape the product—and the company
• Small empowered team. No bureaucracy. Big upside.
