Embedded Systems Software Engineer

You can expect to:

• Work with QA and the UX team to build a best-in-class, well-tested user experience
• Spend 50% of your time on Linux-based custom firmware systems and testing and 50% on Rails backend development
• Work with a friendly and positive team to write and test the low-level code that makes Kit Check’s Scanners tick.
• Write code mostly in Java & Ruby, read code primarily written in JavaScript (NodeJS Express), Python, SQL, and C/C#. The vast majority of code you write will be for our scanners, embedded systems that connect them to networks and manage their firmware. 
• Write programs used in the physical world to scan and manage medication inventory systems. 
• Implement drivers for our RFID Scanners in our QA, Staging, and Production Environments. 
• Drive our device security by extending the boot chain from the first instruction to the control plane running on RFID Readers. You’ll secure the interface among the lowest level components and into the control plane, and work with our team to manage firmware lifecycles remotely
• Code without fear, supported by continuous builds, unit testing, memory-safe code, good debugging tools, a constructive code-review process, and supportive culture of identifying and fixing bugs.

About you:

• 4+ years in a Software Engineer role 
• Advanced experience writing code in C/C++, Sql, Python, Java
• Advanced experience working on Embedded systems, microcontrollers, and/or firmware development
• Knowledge of device, sensor, and/or other physical-layer interfacing
• Working knowledge of HTTP & SSH protocols
• Professional working experience developing code in a Linux-specific environment
• Conceptual understanding of device-to-device communication
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering (or comparable experience)
• Working experience familiarizing yourself with new hardware
• Working experience with hardware communications protocols, RFID experience optional\
• Experience working in remote teams

Nice to have:

• Have previously worked with Rust, C++ or another low-level systems language such as C.
• Specific experience working with RFID device control
• Have worked with microcontrollers, whether it’s at a job or some kind of Arduino pet-washing coffee maker.
• Previous projects putting together some basic circuitry with discrete components or modules
• Knowledge of networking in embedded systems
• Experience working in remote teams
• Experience with HIPAA, working with PHI, or other data-sensitive environments
