Responsibilities
- Design, prototype, build, and test production vehicle firmware for safety-critical systems.
- Develop and optimize applications in RTOS environments for reliability, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and power efficiency.
- Own and evolve communication architecture between MCUs, sensors, and main compute using standard and custom protocols.
- Lead bring-up and debugging for new boards and SoCs, including bootloaders, drivers, and low-level diagnostics.
- Partner with electrical engineers and software developers to move sensor and compute platforms from prototype to production.
- Define and build automated unit, integration, and system testing frameworks and harnesses.
- Mentor embedded engineers, conduct thorough code reviews, and help establish team-wide engineering standards, tools, and best practices.
Requirements
- Expert-level C and/or C++ experience for embedded systems.
- Strong command of low- and high-level communication protocols, including SPI, UART, I2C, CAN, and TCP/UDP.
- Experience developing in RTOS environments such as PX5, embedded Linux with pthreads, QNX, VxWorks, or RTEMS.
- Experience with MCU bootloaders, device drivers, and new board or SoC bring-up.
- Experience deploying firmware to multi-device systems or vehicles in a power-safe, fault-tolerant manner.
- Demonstrated optimization of speed and size for resource-constrained platforms.
- Experience with safety-critical systems and processes such as ISO 26262 is highly valued.
- Understanding of embedded software development practices including version control, code review, CI, and automated testing.
- Typically 7+ years developing embedded software for production systems, including substantial work on safety-critical or highly reliable platforms.
- Automotive or transit experience, automotive-grade safety MCU experience, kernel and low-level OS knowledge, deterministic timing and networking experience, CAN tooling and DBC workflows, hardware debugging, and Python scripting for automation are preferred.
Benefits
- Hybrid work arrangement with 2 days per week in the Pittsburg, PA office
- No relocation assistance available
About Glydways
Glydways builds on-demand urban transit systems that use small autonomous electric vehicles running on dedicated, low-footprint guideways. It designs and manufactures the vehicles and infrastructure and partners with cities, transit agencies, and private developers to deploy and operate the service. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in South San Francisco, the privately held company targets high-capacity, carbon-neutral mobility for dense corridors and campus-scale connections.
