What the job involves
- We’re looking for passionate Senior Embedded Software Engineers who are interested in designing and prototyping greenfield edge mesh networks and computing
- This is an incredible opportunity to join an experienced founding team who have collectively raised $1bn+ in capital across several previously successful ventures and lead AI Research within the business
- In this role, you will collaborate with a small team of talented researchers and engineers to rapidly prototype and refine embedded systems software for initiatives such as a next-gen logistics tracking infrastructure and robotics applications
- Lead and participate in designing and implementing software and firmware for embedded system prototypes
- Write clean, fast, reliable, testable, and highly scalable software
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business needs to inform prototypes

- Conduct research on current and emerging trends in embedded system software development
- Maintain essential documentation throughout the software development lifecycle, including system architecture, design specifications, and deployment guides
Our take
Worldwide spending on edge computing is growing at an astronomical rate. But, as organisations move to migrate their apps to the edge, the disparate nature of their approaches is making deployment difficult.
Code Metal is out to combat this with its modular, AI-powered workflows that support simpler and faster edge development. Its approach has been honed by previous work translating complex research algorithms for platform use, which it is now focusing on hardware apps for the edge.
The company has already made a splash in the space through some high-profile partnerships with the likes of L3Harris, a renowned American defence contractor. It has also raised substantial funding that it will use to expand its team, platform and launch within key industries.
