[Note: we are currently fully staffed for this role, but expect to be hiring for additional team members in the near future. So, we likely won't review/respond quickly, but we WILL look here first when we crank up the hiring machine again.]

Dapster is looking for a Lead Embedded Systems Software Engineer to join our small-but-powerful team. This is an impact opportunity -- we’re very much still an early-stage startup, and you will be working on our foundational technology and products.  

About Dapster: Dapster is focused on bringing AI-fueled robotic picking solutions to market. We recently landed a large pilot with a top retailer -- effectively dilution-free funding to develop our core technology. 

If you want to do interesting work with a sharp, experienced and humble team, and share in the upside that comes with joining at the earliest stages, we’d love to talk to you.  The quick details:

What will you do? Broad ownership of the inner workings of the entire Dapster robotic system (we can go into much more detail live). 

What are we looking for?

  • Excellent C/C++ and Python programming skills in a Linux environment.

  • Experience writing/maintaining driver-level code for different types of sensors, actuators and communication interfaces like WiFi/BlueTooth, and handling the early signal processing for these devices.

  • Ability to quickly get up to speed with an unfamiliar device by reading its specification, register map, driver api, and integrate it into the product.

  • Excellent communication skills

  • Ability to quickly put together a circuit to electrically interface different devices.

  • A strong academic and work record (e.g. BS CS/EE with 5+ years of experience or MS CS/EE with 3+ years of experience) or commensurate work experience

Other nice-to-have’s:

  • Prototyping and soldering skills.

  • Experience as part of the development team for at least 1 full version of a shipping embedded device.

Dapster is a remote-friendly, hybrid workplace. We maintain a development lab in Palo Alto, CA, and occasionally travel to client sites (mainly Phoenix, AZ). Roles requiring interaction with our physical robots likely entail more in-office work than not. Other roles can be structured to your preferences.

Interested in learning more? Let’s start a conversation -- you can apply directly below or reach out to Scott (one of our founders) with any questions at [email protected].
