The Role

We're looking for a recent graduate (within two years) to work with our technology team on our IoT device stack and take ownership of the platform for production deployment. You’ll be working with embedded Linux systems running AI models for real‑time audio classification, managing power‑constrained remote deployments, and ensuring reliable data transmission over challenging network conditions.

This role combines embedded systems expertise with practical considerations for field deployment, including power management, weatherproofing, and reliable connectivity in remote areas.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain firmware for embedded Linux platforms (e.g., Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson) and microcontrollers.
• Implement edge processing pipelines for sensor and audio data, integrating AI models for real‑time classification.
• Optimize for low‑power, remote deployments and ensure system reliability under harsh environmental conditions.
• Develop and integrate LoRa and other low‑power wireless communication protocols for long‑range connectivity.
• Manage data transmission over constrained or intermittent networks.
• Collaborate with SEM’s technology team on physical design and environmental durability.
• Support integration with cloud services for data upload and monitoring.
• Document system architecture, deployment procedures, and maintenance guidelines.
