Senior or Staff Embedded Software Engineer

At Ouster, we build sensors and tools for engineers, roboticists, and researchers, so they can make the world safer and more efficient. We've transformed LIDAR from an analog device with thousands of components to an elegant digital device powered by one chip-scale laser array and one CMOS sensor. The result is a full range of high-resolution LIDAR sensors that deliver superior imaging at a dramatically lower price. Our advanced sensor hardware and vision algorithms are used in autonomous cars, drones and many other applications. If you’re motivated by solving big problems, we’re hiring key roles across the company and need your help!

As the Sr or Staff level for the Embedded Engineering team, you will be responsible for architecting, executing, and building the embedded software that powers our lidar firmware system. You will work as a technical peer to the team lead alongside a team of talented ICs with expertise in Linux, C, and C++, Rust, and Python. Your breadth of experience should allow you to both architect the high-level system and implement low-level modules. In addition, you will work closely with the entire firmware team to provide guidance and align on technical direction. Strong communication and a desire to learn are required for our entire team! Come build lidar with us!
