Seek Thermal
Description:
As a Sr. Embedded Software Engineer in our Santa Barbara office, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of key projects and make a significant impact on the success of the company. You will work on cutting-edge technology and have the chance to work with a talented, collaborative team in a fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment. In this role, you will design and develop software for embedded systems, with a focus on Linux kernel development. You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of hardware platforms and develop device drivers for a range of components. You will also have the chance to troubleshoot and debug technical issues at the kernel level, as well as collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new products and features. If you have a strong background in C/C++ programming and experience with embedded systems and Linux kernel development, we encourage you to apply. Experience with thermal or other advanced imaging is a bonus. The ideal candidate will have the ability to work independently and troubleshoot HW/SW complex technical issues, as well as excellent problem-solving and communication skills. Requirements:
RESPONSIBILITIES: Embedded Systems & Firmware Design and implement embedded firmware in
C/C++
for thermal imaging products running on MCUs and SoCs. Develop hardware abstraction layers, peripheral drivers, and control logic for LWIR sensors and auxiliary components. Integrate digital interfaces including
I2C, SPI, UART, USB, MIPI CSI/DSI
for sensor control and data flow. Collaborate with electrical and systems engineers to support
board bring-up , sensor tuning, and calibration routines. Optimize pipelines for performance, power efficiency, and memory use on embedded platforms with constrained resources. System Development & Collaboration Participate in
system architecture discussions
and software planning for new products and platforms. Support testing, debugging, and integration with QA and hardware validation teams. Contribute to documentation, code reviews, and continuous improvement efforts. Required Skills & Experience: 8+ years of experience in embedded software or firmware development. Strong
C/C++ programming
skills for embedded systems. Experience with
ARM Cortex-M/A
architectures and RTOS environments. Solid grasp of
embedded peripherals
and protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, USB, MIPI. Proven track record of
hardware/software integration
and troubleshooting with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers). Experience with
sensor systems , camera modules, or imaging hardware. Familiarity with
version control, CI/CD , and bug tracking tools (e.g., Git, JIRA). Preferred Qualifications Exposure to
LWIR or thermal imaging systems
and calibration concepts like AGC, NUC, or shutter control. Familiarity with
sensor fusion
concepts and real-time data synchronization across sensors. Experience integrating or optimizing
AI/ML models on embedded edge devices
(e.g., TensorFlow Lite, ONNX on Jetson, Coral, or NPU-based SoCs). Basic knowledge of
embedded Linux
platforms (Yocto, U-Boot, kernel-level familiarity as needed). Proficiency in
Python
or MATLAB for testing, automation, or data analysis. QUALIFICATIONS:
(Education and experience) BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Math, or related field with at least 8 + years professional engineering experience. In unique cases, extensive work experience can substitute for BS degree requirements. PM18 Compensation details:
