Back to jobs Embedded Software Engineer Menlo Park, California Apply Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce. There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive. Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue. Grow With Us We’re looking for an engineer who moves easily between embedded Linux, RTOS, and bare-metal MCU code, and who is happy where firmware meets hardware. You will own the software that makes our devices capture, record, and communicate, help bring up new boards and sensors alongside our EEs, and build the tooling a small team needs to move fast. Day in the Life Architect, implement, and test the on-device software that controls recording, sensors, storage, and power, and keeps it running reliably over long sessions. Bring up and debug new hardware alongside our EE team: part selection, interface definition, driver development for new sensor modules, and board bring-up. Dig into the open technical problems at the core of the device. Prototype the options, measure real behavior, and help decide what we build. Own the device's interface to the rest of the system: the on-device API/SDK and protocols our app and cloud build against, kept clean, documented, and well tested. Build the tooling and automation for firmware development, test, and calibration, so the team can iterate quickly and scale into production. Who You Are 2-5 years shipping embedded software on real hardware that reached real users Proficiency in C/C++ and Python, with exposure to embedded Linux (device drivers, device tree, the boot process) and/or bare-metal/RTOS firmware Comfort at the hardware boundary: reading datasheets, bringing up boards, developing drivers for new sensor modules, and evaluating hardware tradeoffs Comfortable using electrical test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) and firmware build and debug tools A bias toward reliability across a wide variety of settings and geographies, and a habit of testing thoroughly and measuring honestly Passion for learning and building, often evidenced by side projects B.S. in EE, CE, CS, or equivalent experience Nice To Have Cameras, camera interfaces (e.g., MIPI CSI-2), DSP/ISP, or video/media pipelines, especially handling multiple simultaneous streams. MCU firmware and low-level bring-up, including bootloaders and an RTOS such as Zephyr or FreeRTOS. Connectivity and protocols such as BLE, Wi-Fi, and USB. Designing SDKs/APIs that another team consumes. OTA, telemetry, or managing software across a fleet of connected devices. CI/CD and test automation. Experience shipping wearable or consumer hardware, and working directly with hardware/EE colleagues and contract manufacturers.
