About the role

  • In today's dynamic worksites, seamless collaboration between people and machines is essential.
  • While autonomous machines offer significant advantages, they also introduce new safety challenges.
  • FORT addresses these concerns by providing solutions such as the Wireless E-Stop, which allows operators to instantly stop any machine from a safe distance, enhancing safety during emergencies.

Responsibilities

  • Implement real-time firmware for RTOS targets (Zephyr/FreeRTOS) and bare-metal environments, along with Embedded Linux user-space applications.

Requirements

  • Typically 6+ years of embedded software development with at least 2 years leading or managing engineers, and a B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Benefits

  • Maintain and improve the firmware CI/CD pipelines (GitLab), the test automation behind them, and hardware-in-the-loop coverage.
  • Technical health and feasibility of the backlog, advocate for platform and technical-debt work, and decline commitments that the team cannot feasibly deliver.
