Company mission
To push the boundaries of AI development, bringing decades of experience, innovation, and a passion for cutting-edge technology to every project we undertake.
Role
Who you are
- Seven or more years of experience developing and delivering production-quality firmware for embedded systems, ideally using C or C++
- Demonstrated experience working collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams, including hardware, software, and research specialists
- Proven ability to gather requirements from stakeholders and translate them into robust firmware designs and project plans
- History of delivering reliable firmware by following best practices in embedded software development: code review, hardware-in-the-loop testing, continuous integration, and release management
Desirable
- Experience with embedded Linux or real-time operating systems (RTOS)
- Familiarity with hardware description languages (HDLs), digital signal processing (DSP) chips, and system-on-chip (SoC) development
- Exposure to advanced software verification techniques such as fuzz testing or formal methods
- Experience using Rust for embedded development
What the job involves
- We are seeking an experienced Firmware Engineer to join our team building hardware prototypes and advancing our next-generation transpilation tools
- By leveraging AI and advanced verification techniques, we aim to bridge the gap between algorithm development and deployment on embedded systems
- In this role, you will take the lead on firmware development for hardware prototypes
- You will also provide support and expertise to the team responsible for implementing innovative code generation pipelines, which utilize a combination of generative AI, static analysis, and formal verification methods to translate code across programming languages
- Lead Firmware Development: Drive the design, development, and testing of firmware for hardware prototypes, ensuring reliability and performance in embedded environments
- Hardware Prototyping: Collaborate closely with hardware teams to integrate firmware with new and evolving hardware designs
- Support Code Generation Pipelines:Provide technical support and domain expertise to the teams developing innovative code generation pipelines powered by AI, static analysis, and formal verification
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:Work with software engineering, research, and product teams to ensure the transpilation pipeline can generate high-quality firmware that integrates seamlessly with hardware prototypes and higher-level systems
- Documentation and Best Practices: Create and maintain thorough documentation, while promoting best practices in firmware development, testing, and deployment
Our take
Worldwide spending on edge computing is growing at an astronomical rate. But, as organizations 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 focussing 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 to better serve its growing list of clientele.
