Role summary

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to develop and optimize Linux kernel device drivers for next-generation wearable technology, specifically smart glasses. This role requires deep understanding of embedded interfaces, C/C++ programming, and debugging at the hardware/software boundary. You will work closely with hardware engineers, own low-level system functionality, and bring up new hardware. Experience with display or touch drivers, and a background in wearables or AR/VR, is a plus. This is a high-impact role with significant ownership in a fast-moving environment.

Embedded Software Engineer – Linux Kernel & Device Drivers

We’re building next-generation wearable technology at the intersection of hardware and software—focused on compact, high-performance systems for smart glasses–class devices. This role sits close to the silicon, working on the software that directly interfaces with hardware.

What you’ll do:

  • Develop and optimize Linux kernel device drivers for embedded platforms
  • Work across display, touch, and sensor interfaces
  • Bring up new hardware and debug complex HW/SW interactions
  • Interface directly with electrical engineers using schematics and board-level designs
  • Own low-level system functionality including power sequencing and interrupt handling

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong experience with Linux kernel and device driver development
  • Solid C/C++ programming skills
  • Deep understanding of embedded interfaces (GPIO, I2C, interrupts, power control)
  • Experience debugging embedded systems at the hardware/software boundary
  • Bonus: display or touch driver experience, wearable or AR/VR background

Why this role:

  • Work on cutting-edge wearable devices (smart glasses form factor)
  • High ownership and impact on core system functionality
  • Tight collaboration with hardware teams in a fast-moving environment
