Founding Embedded Systems Engineer (IoT / Automotive)

At T.I.G.E.R. (Traffic Intelligence for Gridlock Elimination & Routing), we believe that traffic is not a force of nature—it is a solvable engineering problem. The current generation of navigation apps are merely reactive reporters of traffic chaos. We are building a proactive, hardware-anchored ecosystem to orchestrate traffic flow, mitigate congestion before it forms, and make driving safer, more efficient, and stress-free.

We are a well-funded, patent-pending deep-tech startup on a mission to build the future of mobility. This is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a company poised to redefine an entire industry.

The Mission : Your Role as the Founding Embedded Systems Engineer

We are looking for a brilliant, hands-on "Master Builder" to be our first Lead Embedded Systems Engineer. You will not just be an employee; you will be a foundational technical partner with a powerful voice in our engineering culture. You will be responsible for bringing the physical TIGER-TAG device to life—from the initial schematic to the production-ready firmware that will be deployed in thousands of vehicles.

This is a role for a builder who is obsessed with creating elegant, robust, and highly efficient hardware and firmware.

What You&aposll Be Doing (The Core Responsibilities) :

• Own the Hardware : Take our conceptual architecture and lead the design of the TIGER-TAG hardware, including the schematic, PCB layout (in Altium / KiCad), and component selection.
• Write the "Soul" of the Device : Develop production-grade firmware on our chosen ESP32-S3 SoC using the ESP-IDF and FreeRTOS.
• Master the Sensors : Write the low-level drivers to capture and fuse high-frequency, real-time data from our sensor array (GPS, 6-axis IMU, Compass, Microphone).
• Ensure Rock-Solid Connectivity : Implement the secure and efficient communication protocols (MQTT over Cellular) to our AWS IoT backend.
• Perfect the Power : Design and implement sophisticated power management strategies to maximize the life of our 2000 mAh internal battery.
• Build for Scale : Create and manage a secure, robust Firmware-Over-the-Air (FOTA) update system.
• Lead the "Bring-Up" : Take your design from a digital file to a physical, working prototype, leading the debugging and validation process.
