Embedded Software Engineer

About AdHawk AdHawk Microsystems is changing the way that humans interact with computers by introducing microsystems that can detect eye movements and micro-gestures with unprecedented resolution, speed, and power efficiency. Our eye tracking sensors will transform the way people use Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technology (the next major computing platform) through foveated rendering, intuitive and seamless UI design, and enhanced immersion. Our all-day wearable technology will also provide unprecedented insights into cognitive health, eye health, and productivity. AdHawk spun off of the University of Waterloo in 2017 with investment from Intel Capital, Samsung Ventures, Sony Innovation, HP Ventures, Essilor Luxottica, and others. Our team consists of researchers and engineers of the highest caliber with a deep sense of curiosity and a passion for the technology we develop. We publish award-winning research papers, fabricate custom silicon chips at leading foundries, and push the boundaries of physics and manufacturing to develop products that create compelling value for our customers. Successful candidates will gain hands-on familiarity with several new HCI peripherals built around a groundbreaking MEMS electro-optical sensor platform. You will be one of the first people to have an opportunity to redefine the way VR/AR technology is used. You will also have a chance to develop new paradigms in gestural input technology on tomorrow's wearable devices. Our range of customers and collaborators include many of the most recognizable names in mobile electronics Check out the AdHawk YouTube channels and a HackSmith episode featuring AdHawk eye tracking: https://www.youtube.com/@MindLinkAir https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpEq1FAbFdwNBq4pB3Dg8fA https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=uOZ3bMbSryc Role AdHawk is looking for a talented and experienced Embedded Software Engineer to help build an awesome eye-tracking product. We need help creating our next generation embedded platform, as well as building and integrating new eye tracking features. Our Embedded platform is built on a Cortex M series CPU, and is responsible for controlling the MEMS scanners, processing the raw data with a series of algorithms, and communicating with other devices. As a real-time wearable platform there are strict size, power and performance requirements for the system. You will be involved in every aspect of the product development cycle from architecture and design to support and maintenance. You will work closely with the whole software team, as well as the product and customer teams to identify project requirements, create APIs and architectures, and build solutions. As a small team, there is the flexibility to gain experience and contribute to all levels of our stack. Responsibilities Help architect and implement new features for our embedded platform Design and develop our next generation embedded platform Develop SDKs and tools for communicating and interacting with our eye tracker Ship features early and often to customers Participate in code reviews, API design and planning meetings Requirements Significant experience writing C code for embedded MCUs, such as the Cortex-M series Experience with Python, and common embedded tooling Experience with hardware design and board bringup An understanding of common hardware peripherals and interfaces Familiarity with tools like Git, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Jira, etc
