高级嵌入式软件工程师
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
我们是谁：
Glydways 正在重新构想公共交通的可能。我们认为，出行是通往机遇的大门——连接人们到住房、教育、就业、商业和护理。通过让交通更加便捷、负担得起和可持续，我们赋能社区蓬勃发展并释放经济和社会繁荣。
我们的使命是通过一种能提供高运力、卓越用户体验、无与伦比的可负担性和最小环境影响的解决方案来革新公共交通。
Glydways 系统是一个由碳中和、互联的交通路径组成的突破性网络，由专用道路的标准化自动驾驶车辆驱动。全天候运行，按需访问，它提供了个性化且高效的出行方式——无需承担高昂的前期基础设施成本或持续的纳税人补贴。
通过 Glydways，我们打造的不只是一个交通系统；我们正在创造一个未来，让每个人、每个地方都能自由出行。
团队介绍：
嵌入式软件团队是让车辆真正运作的地方。我们编写和加载固件，将原始硬件——传感器套件、定制电路板和主计算模块——转化为可靠、安全关键的机器。因为我们的软件几乎涉及每个子系统，我们与公司内各领域的工程师合作，并亲自接触建筑内的最新硬件。
职位简介：
作为高级嵌入式软件工程师，你将负责关键的固件领域，领导复杂的跨职能项目，并帮助塑造我们的嵌入式平台和工程最佳实践。这是承载真实乘客的固件——在 Glydways 车辆上，可靠性是一项安全要求，而不仅仅是性能目标，你发布的代码是安全论证的一部分。
职责与要求：
- 设计、原型、构建和测试用于安全关键系统的生产车辆固件。
- 在实时操作系统（RTOS）环境中开发和优化应用程序，针对资源受限的平台进行可靠性、延迟、吞吐量、内存占用和功耗的调优。
- 负责并演进 MCU、传感器和主计算之间的通信架构，涵盖标准和自定义协议（SPI、UART、I2C、CAN、TCP/UDP 等）。
- 领导新电路板和 SoC 的启动和调试——引导加载程序、驱动程序和底层诊断——与电气工程师和软件开发者合作，将新的传感器和计算平台从原型带入生产。
- 定义并构建自动化工具和流程，以支持固件开发、测试和部署。

Who we are:
Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity—connecting people to housing, education, employment, commerce, and care. By making transportation more accessible, affordable, and sustainable, we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity.
Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity, exceptional user experiences, unmatched affordability, and minimal environmental impact.
The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access, it offers personalized and efficient mobility—without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.
With Glydways, we’re building more than a transportation system; we’re creating a future where everyone, everywhere, has the freedom to move.
Meet the team:
The Embedded Software team is where the vehicle comes to life. We write and load the firmware that turns raw hardware—sensor kits, custom boards, and main compute—into a reliable, safety-critical machine. Because our software touches nearly every subsystem, we collaborate with engineers from across the company and get hands-on with the newest hardware in the building.
About the Role:
As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will own critical firmware domains, lead complex cross-functional projects, and help shape our embedded platform and engineering best practices. This is firmware that carries real passengers - on a Glydways vehicle, reliability is a safety requirement, not just a performance goal, and the code you ship is part of the safety case.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Design, prototype, build, and test production vehicle firmware for safety-critical systems.
- Develop and optimize applications in RTOS environments, tuning for reliability, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and power on resource-constrained platforms.
- Own and evolve the communication architecture between MCUs, sensors, and main compute, across both standard and custom protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, CAN, TCP/UDP, and more).
- Lead bring-up and debugging for new boards and SoCs—bootloaders, drivers, and low-level diagnostics—partnering with electrical engineers and software developers to take new sensor and compute platforms from prototype to production.
- Define and build automated testing frameworks and harnesses at the unit, integration, and system levels alongside test and platform engineers.
- Mentor other embedded engineers, give thorough code reviews, and help set engineering standards, tools, and best practices across the team.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
Core technical skills
- Expert-level C and/or C++ for embedded systems; additional languages and tooling are a plus.
- Strong command of communication protocols, from low level (SPI, UART, I2C, CAN) to higher level (TCP/UDP).
- Experience developing on RTOS environments (e.g., PX5 or other POSIX/pthreads-based real-time OSes such as embedded Linux with pthreads, QNX, VxWorks, or RTEMS).
- Experience with MCU bootloaders, device drivers, and new board or SoC bring-up.
- Experience deploying firmware to multi-device systems or vehicles in a power-safe, fault-tolerant way.
- Demonstrated speed and size optimization for resource-constrained platforms.
Process and quality
- Experience with safety-critical systems and processes (e.g., ISO 26262 or similar standards) is highly valued.
- Solid understanding of the embedded software development life cycle—version control, code review, CI, and automated testing.
Nice to have
- Experience in automotive and/or transit domains.
- Experience with automotive-grade safety MCUs — ideally the NXP S32K3 family, or comparable lockstep/ASIL-rated parts (e.g., Infineon AURIX, TI TMS570).
- Familiarity with kernel internals and low-level OS concepts.
- Experience with deterministic timing and networking, such as NTP, PTP, or time-sensitive networking (TSN).
- Experience with CAN tooling and DBC-based workflows.
- Comfort with electronics test equipment and hardware debugging (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.).
- Scripting experience (e.g., Python) for test automation and tooling.
Typical experience
· Typically 7+ years developing embedded software for production systems, including substantial work on safety-critical or highly reliable platforms (automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial, robotics, etc.).
