Memfault is seeking an embedded software engineer to join as a Firmware Solution Architect. You’ll be working with others on the Developer Experience team to build out Memfault’s firmware SDK spanning across a multitude of MCU architectures, RTOS’s, and vendor libraries. You’ll also be working with cutting-edge IoT companies as they integrate Memfault for the first time or add support for newly built features.

NOTE: We believe people in the same office work better together for a variety of reasons. Therefore, there is a strong preference for employees to work within the offices listed (SF, NYC, Boston). If you are confident we should make an exception, or you are hoping to move to one of these cities upon taking this job, let us know in your application!

Your Role

Collaborate with customer-facing and product teams and architect and implement SDK improvements in code that satisfy rigorous performance and size limitations.
Engage directly with firmware engineers at cutting-edge hardware companies and work together to overcome issues integrating the Memfault platform. You will help solution how they should use Memfault.
Build out and improve reference examples and SDK documentation.
Contribute to the growing suite of unit, automated, and emulator tests to ensure that improvements work reliably and regressions don’t slip into production.
Ship code early and often to customers. You’ll begin to constantly notice devices that are running your code out in the wild!
Work on an amazingly deep stack: firmware, operating systems, mobile, web.
Have a major impact on our product, our infrastructure, our culture and our business.
Write for our technical blog, Interrupt!

Why you may be a fit

You love teaching and solving problems, and want to have a major impact on our product, business, and our culture.

Comfortable with bringing up a variety of development boards, architectures, and new software platforms.

You are a great communicator, both conversationally and in written form. You can demonstrate credibility to technical buyers and articulate value to business stakeholders.
You are organized and efficiently manage your time and priorities.
You are caring and kind: other people do better when they work with you.

Even better if you have

About Memfault

Companies like Lyft, Logitech, Bose, Whoop, and Verkada use Memfault's performance monitoring, device debugging, and OTA update capabilities to ship fast and build high-quality products. Memfault was founded by veterans of Pebble, Fitbit, and Oculus and is backed by Stripes, Uncork Capital, Partech, the 5G Innovation Lab, S28 Capital, and Y Combinator.
