Firmware & Embedded Software Engineer, Range Energy

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or related field
• Experience developing and debugging firmware on embedded microcontrollers (coursework, personal projects, internships, or student team experience all count)
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python - Familiarity with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows
• Knowledge of basic Linux system fundamentals
• Competency with hardware debugging fundamentals — multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools while maintaining strong independent technical judgment
• High drive, low ego, and a genuine desire to own hard problems
• This role requires regular onsite presence at Range HQ in Mountain View

Desirable

• We're looking for a Firmware & Embedded Software Engineer to own software development across the embedded systems in our trailer platform
• This is an early-career role built for engineers who are sharp, hungry, and ready to take real ownership from day one — not someone looking to sit in a support lane
• You'll work across embedded microcontrollers and Linux-based platforms, building the firmware, user-facing interactive features, and diagnostic tooling that our fleet customers interact with directly
• You'll collaborate closely with hardware, systems, and validation engineers to bring up new features, debug complex integration issues, and help establish the development and release practices that the team depends on
• If you move fast, learn faster, and want your code running on real trailers on real roads, this is the role
• Develop and ship firmware on embedded microcontrollers (e.g. STM32) — interrupt handling, peripheral drivers, communication protocols, feature logic, and the user-facing UI and display functionality that operators interact with directly
• Develop and maintain software on embedded Linux platforms for system configuration, diagnostics, and integration
• Own development of desktop applications that interface with trailer systems — enabling field teams and customers to configure, inspect, and maintain the platform
• Build and maintain diagnostic and maintenance tooling: workflows, procedures, and code that field teams and customers use to inspect, configure, and troubleshoot the system
• Integrate and debug firmware across CAN-based vehicle networks, validating correct behavior at the system and subsystem level
• Collaborate with hardware engineers on bring-up, signal-level debugging, and schematic review to close the gap between hardware and software
• Write test cases and support SIL/HIL validation pipelines; contribute to automated test coverage for firmware features
• Participate in code reviews, contribute to coding standards, and help build a culture of quality on a fast-moving team
• What Success Looks Like (first 6–12 months)
• Deliver multiple customer-facing UI features end-to-end — from implementation on-device through integration and validation — within the first 6 months
• Own and ship a meaningful piece of diagnostic or maintenance tooling that field teams rely on
• Demonstrate the ability to independently debug complex firmware issues across hardware and software boundaries with minimal hand-holding
