Company Background
Specter is creating a software-defined “control plane” for the physical world. We are starting with protecting American businesses by granting them ubiquitous perception over their physical assets.
To do so, we are creating a connected hardware-software ecosystem on top of multi-modal wireless mesh sensing technology. This allows us to drive down the cost and time of deploying sensors by 10x. Our platform will ultimately become the perception engine for a company’s physical footprint, enabling real-time perimeter visibility, autonomous operations management, and “digital twinning” of physical processes.
Our co-founders Xerxes and Philip are passionate about empowering our partners in the fast approaching world of physical AI and robotics. We are a small, fast growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.
Role + Responsibilities
- Specter is hiring an Embedded Software Engineer to own the full on-device software stack for our distributed wireless mesh sensor nodes, including integration with RF modules, cameras, and multi-modal sensors.
Responsibilities include
- Designing, implementing, and maintaining performant, reliable firmware and software for Specter’s current and future edge devices across a wide range of embedded platforms (embedded Linux on SoCs, RTOS, bare-metal on microcontrollers).
- Owning the integration of RF modules, cameras, and multi-modal sensors (e.g., environmental, motion, acoustic) into the embedded software stack, including driver development, data pipelines, and hardware enablement.
- Performing board bring-up, reading datasheets/schematics, and debugging complex hardware/software interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, and other diagnostic tools.
- Collaborating closely with Hardware Engineering (EE, RF, ME), Product Engineering, and backend software teams to co-design interfaces, support new hardware platforms, and enable rapid prototyping and iteration from concept to production deployment.
