Embedded Software Engineer

Mine Vision Systems is a mining technology company building the decision-making platform for underground mining. We introduce high-fidelity data into the mining workflow that has simply never existed before enabling operators to move from assumptions to evidence-based decisions. Our digital infrastructure is designed to map monitor and manage the underground mining environment with confidence creating a persistent data-rich foundation for operational and strategic decision-making. Since the launch of our flagship product FaceCapture in late 2023 adoption has accelerated rapidly as customers realize the value of truly understanding their underground operations.

We focus on underground mining of critical minerals and precious metals where small improvements in accuracy and insight drive outsized returns. Our technology delivers millions of dollars in annual value by minimizing overbreak improving ore calls enhancing resource models and enabling a growing set of high-impact applications across the mine lifecycle. By transforming raw underground data into actionable intelligence Mine Vision Systems empowers mining teams to operate more efficiently more predictably and with greater confidence than ever before.

About the role

Were looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to design build and scale the embedded computing platforms that power our perception and automation systems deployed in harsh underground mine environments. You will work across embedded Linux realtime firmware and hardwaresoftware integration collaborating closely with electrical mechanical robotics and product engineers.

This role combines deep technical ownership with realworld impact: the systems you build will operate daily in production mines around the world.

What youll do

• Design implement test and maintain embedded Linux systems on NVIDIA Jetson and other ARMbased SoCs
• Develop and maintain microcontroller firmware for sensors actuators and robotic peripheral devices
• Own board bringup activities including bootloaders device trees pinmux and peripheral configuration
• Design and implement robust hardware communication interfaces (I²C SPI UART USB CAN Ethernet PCIe)
• Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers on hardware selection system architecture and validation
• Evaluate and select MCUs SoCs and supporting components for new product designs
• Debug complex systemlevel issues spanning hardware kernel drivers and application layers
• Establish test validation and reliability practices appropriate for harsh vibration and dustheavy mine environments
• Contribute to software architecture code reviews documentation and longterm platform strategy
• Support limited field deployments and diagnostics to inform product improvements

Required qualifications

• 2 years of professional experience developing embedded systems in production environments
• Strong proficiency in modern C/C for embedded and systems programming
• Handson experience with embedded Linux bringup and customization (bootloaders device tree kernel configuration)
• Experience developing or modifying Linux kernel drivers and debugging kernelspace issues
• Solid understanding of ARM architectures and lowlevel system concepts
• Experience working with common embedded communication protocols (I²C SPI UART USB Ethernet CAN)
• Proficiency with embedded debugging tools (JTAG/SWD logic analyzers oscilloscopes)
• Ability to read hardware schematics and component datasheets and translate them into working software
• Strong software engineering fundamentals: version control code reviews testing and documentation
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate across disciplines
• Based in the greater Pittsburgh area or willing to relocate/commute
• Up to 10% travel for field support and testing

Desirable qualifications

• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms CUDAadjacent systems or edgeAI hardware
• Familiarity with realtime systems RTOSs or mixed Linux/RTOS architectures
• Proficiency with Python and/or shell scripting for tooling testing and automation
• Experience with networking concepts (IPv4/IPv6 VLANs performance debugging tools such as tcpdump or iperf)
• Exposure to manufacturing production test development or sustaining engineering
• Experience building systems for harsh or industrial environments (mining construction robotics automotive aerospace)

Why this role matters

The embedded platforms you design will be the backbone of Mine Vision Systems products operating in demanding underground conditions where reliability and performance are critical. Your work will directly impact customer safety productivity and confidence in their operations and will shape the next generation of our hardware and software platform.
