SPAN | Staff SWE, Embedded Linux Platform | Rust, Clean Energy | Onsite (SF) | Full-time | VISA (H1B transfer)

SPAN builds hardware products that accelerate the adoption renewable energy in the home! We manufacture and sell the SPAN Smart Panel, an electric panel that performs software-based load management and monitoring for homes with solar, battery storage, and big appliances like EV chargers.

The Device Platform team is a 6-person team maintaining the Yocto-based embedded Linux platform underpinning SPAN’s hardware products.

We're hiring a Rust-focused systems software engineer to work on our application platform.

In the next year, you may:

- Build out our cross-platform application development SDK written in Rust, and supporting others developing new product offerings.

- Co-design new APIs with our cloud team (MQTT, HTTP, and gRPC).

- Collaborate with specialists in data science and power electronics to support simulation testing of power control behaviors in our application stack.

- Overhaul our on-device telemetry, alerting, and fault reporting for our growing customer base.

Questions? Email Buro (mookerji@span.io). [Please: candidates only, no recruiters or agencies]

(disclosure: I'm an engineer at Swift Navigation)

Indeed, carrier phase and multi-frequency+constellation measurements are drifting into consumer hardware, but I can say that it's probably going to be a Good Long While before we full realize its benefits. The use of cell phones (and cheap cell phone antennas) is an active area of research, particularly for organizations aiming to make high-accuracy GNSS positioning widely accessible outside of specialty markets (i.e., agriculture and surveying). It's an interesting area to be in for sure:

  -
 https://radionavlab.ae.utexas.edu/images/stories/files/papers/inPhoneCdgnssIonPlans2016.pdf
The base station network density question @ac29 points out later is a compelling reason for some of this.

(Shill: We're hiring for firmware engineers right now, focused on a variety of different areas: embedded Linux, DSP basebands (C), and navigation algorithms (C++) design and implementation. See https://jobs.lever.co/swift-nav for more details or email jobs@swiftnav.com.)


  Swift Navigation | San Francisco Bay Area | Infrastructure+Embedded Software Jobs | VISA

  Swift Navigation is looking for firmware and infrastructure software engineers
  to work with us on high-accuracy GPS receivers (https://github.com/swift-nav/).
  We've shipped the world's first low-cost, multi-constellation, inch-accurate
  satellite navigation receiver for autonomous vehicle applications. Questions?
  Email Buro (mookerji@swiftnav.com). Apply at https://jobs.lever.co/swift-nav.

  + Firmware (Production embedded programming on the Zynq platform, FPGA-based
    DSP, C, C++, Python, VHDL, embedded Linux).

  + Web and internal platform infrastructure (front ends, rear ends, services,
    production programming, Haskell, Python, JS, C++, containerized distributed
    workflows, etc. etc. etc.).

  + Software infrastructure team lead, preferably with experience in building
    highly-available, real time sensor products and analytics platforms.

  Our interviews have a few steps: an intro phone call, technical phone screen or
  take home problem, and an onsite. Our technical interviews aim to fairly assess
  your skills and also preview our own day-to-day work.

  Satellite navigation is a rich problem space! Our 45 (??!) person group in the
  Civic Center neighborhood of San Francisco is spread across analog/RF/digital
  hardware design and embedded systems, statistics, satellite navigation,
  functional programming, and web infrastructure. Our work is highly
  interdisciplinary with an environment emphasizing effective communication,
  collaboration, and inclusion with a flexible working policy.
