Company mission
To translate everything we've always wished our dogs could tell us, so we have peace of mind knowing they're as safe and healthy as possible.
Role
Who you are
- If you're someone who thrives in innovative, collaborative work environments and feels strongly about helping dogs live longer, better lives, Fi could be the perfect fit
- You possess a minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience in firmware/embedded software development
- Proficiency in the C and C++ programming languages, and an understanding of the differences between them. Additionally, experience with or eagerness to learn Python
- Prior exposure to hardware interfaces, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and embedded systems design
- Familiarity with debugging tools and methodologies for embedded systems
- Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and issue tracking tools (e.g., Jira)
- Strong problem-solving abilities and the ability to work in a collaborative team environment, communicating effectively with hardware engineers, software developers, and other stakeholders
- Understanding of low-level hardware interactions and device drivers. Experience in designing, developing, and testing firmware for microcontrollers and embedded systems
What the job involves
- Firmware Development: Take a front-line role in designing, developing, and maintaining firmware for embedded systems, ensuring functionality, reliability, and performance optimization
- Collaborative Problem-Solving: Work closely with cross-functional teams to integrate software with hardware components, troubleshoot issues, and optimize system performance
- Code Review and Documentation: Conduct code reviews, document code changes, and ensure compliance with coding standards and best practices in firmware development
- Testing and Validation: Develop test procedures and perform rigorous testing to validate firmware functionality and identify and resolve bugs or issues
- Research and Innovation: Stay updated with emerging technologies, tools, and trends in embedded systems and contribute innovative ideas to enhance product capabilities
Our take
For a long time, dog collars and leashes have remained largely unchanged. Fi was set up by a product team drawn from the ranks of Uber, Square, and Google to disrupt the stagnant dog collar space.
Fi's smart collars include tracking and monitoring features that give owners peace-of-mind. They can monitor, for example, the sleep and health of their furry friends. Plus, real-time escape notifications have already saved the lives of dogs.
With a tracking range that far exceeds that of its competitors, the company has seen promising levels of adoption for its collars. Fi continues to innovate, for example with the launch of the Fi Series 3+ which is the world's first AI-powered smart dog collar.
