Alert Innovation

Principal Lead Embedded Software Engineer

Description

Alert Innovation, now powered by Walmart, is a fast-growing venture on a mission to reinvent retailing through robotics. We’ve partnered with Walmart to develop our Alphabot® technology, which is currently being deployed at stores throughout North America.

We’re seeking a technical lead for our Embedded Software Group. The Embedded and Controls Lead will play a key role in leading a team of embedded engineers to develop robust, reliable solutions with high throughput that includes sensing, localization, motion, and actuation of the robotic platform. This is a technical leadership position (not a people manager position). The right candidate will have experience architecting and implementing object-oriented, multi-threaded applications for real-time embedded systems and a solid background leading embedded software teams.
 
Our work is challenging, fun, and rewarding. We seek to hire people who want work to be meaningful and strive for excellence in a team-oriented culture.

  • Inspire, mentor, and motivate a team to deliver high quality software on time that meets customer needs.
  • Build and maintain strong cross-functional relationships with stakeholders.
  • Prioritize project and day-to-day activities for your team.
  • Provide technical guidance to your team.
  • Collaborate with the electro-mechanical teams to build solutions.
  • Work with Program Management to staff projects and determine resource capacity.
  • Effectively communicate plans, status, and needs to leadership and engineers.
  • Work closely with peers to share technical solutions and best practices.
  • Support an environment of continuous improvement.
  • Advocate for programming best practices.
  • Mentor and grow engineers.

What we’re looking for:

  • Staff and Principal-level engineers with significant low-level embedded programming experience
  • Proficiency in C++ (11/14) with focus in object-oriented design
  • Working knowledge of device integration and common communications busses
  • Experience with QNX or Linux
  • Board Support Package (BSP) experience
  • Experience working in an Agile Scrum environment.
  • B.S. in Computer Science or related industry.
