Role
At Hive Robotics, we build reliable, connected embedded systems for autonomous and networked platforms. We are looking for an experienced Senior Embedded Application Developer to develop and maintain embedded application-layer software on ARM-based microcontroller and Embedded Linux platforms, as well as desktop applications that interface with onboard IP-based modems and support secure remote connectivity and updates.
This role focuses on designing and integrating application-layer software on embedded platforms, working closely with low-level drivers, building embedded web services (APIs, web servers, HTTPS), and establishing robust software verification anddelivery processes across the team.
Responsibilities
- Develop andmaintainapplication-layer softwarefor ARM-based microcontrollers and Embedded Linux platforms used in production hardware
- Design and implementembedded web services, including HTTPS-enabled web servers and REST APIs
- Design and implementdesktop applicationsfor device configuration, management, and software flashing via IP-based modems
- Work withEthernet and IP-based interfaces,maintaininga system-level understanding of networked communication
- Establish andmaintainsoftware verification processes, including unit testing, integration testing, and system-level validation.
- Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for embedded firmware, including build automation, testing, and release workflows.
- Support system-level testing, validation, and troubleshooting in laboratory and field environments.
