Sr. Prototyping Software Engineer

Join a team of passionate and creative engineers dedicated to building technologies that will shape the future of the home. We are a cross-functional group that thrives on collaboration innovation and tackling challenging problems to create products that are both profoundly useful and delightful to use. Our work lies at the intersection of groundbreaking hardware software and design and we are looking for a key contributor to help us explore whats possible. We are seeking a versatile Sr. Prototyping Software Engineer with end-to-end expertise to accelerate the exploration of new home product this role you will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of complex prototypes from initial hardware design and sensor integration to software development and the application of machine learning. You are a builder at heart someone who can seamlessly navigate the stack from low-level firmware to high-level applications to bring innovative home experiences to life fast. You take pride in the craft your prototypes dont just work they look and feel like finished products.

As a Sr. Prototyping Software Engineer you will be a critical member of a multi-disciplinary team responsible for rapidly prototyping and validating novel home product concepts. Your work will directly influence future product direction by demonstrating the viability and potential of new technologies to senior leadership. The prototypes you build will be used in high-visibility executive demos so a relentless attention to detail and polish from reliability to great UI is essential. You thrive in ambiguity pick up new skills and tools quickly and adapt your approach as projects evolve.

Rapidly designing building and iterating on end-to-end functional prototypes that explore new home product multimodal sensor systems (e.g. cameras microphones depth sensors environmental sensors) into prototype perception sensor fusion and on-device intelligence pipelines tailored to home use low-level firmware developing apps and working with real-time operating systems (RTOS) to bring up custom machine learning (ML) models to solve problems in areas such as perception context awareness and user polished intuitive user interfaces and interaction models for human-device experiences in the home at a quality level suitable for executive closely with industrial designers ML researchers and hardware engineers to define and achieve project goals.
