Ubiety is the creator of HomeAware, an AI-powered mobile application that delivers real-time presence insights during alarm events and beyond, so you always know who’s home when it matters most. Our platform provides meaningful, contextual notifications that prioritize awareness over reaction, helping families feel safer without the burden of unnecessary emergency calls or intrusive surveillance.

With the introduction of HomeAware, Ubiety is redefining the home security experience. By combining cutting-edge AI with seamless smart home integration, we ensure our users are better informed, more in control, and able to protect what matters most.

We are seeking a highly driven Embedded Software Engineer with a strong firmware focus to help power and scale this growing device platform. You will play a critical role in building and maintaining the low-level firmware, operating systems, and device management infrastructure that supports an entire fleet of connected smart home security devices. You will own and evolve the lowest levels of Ubiety’s device ecosystem, ensuring that every connected device can boot, update, recover, communicate, and operate reliably in the field. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, enjoy deep technical ownership, and are passionate about building systems that run reliably at scale, this role is for you.

  • Perform board bring-up and validation on new hardware prototypes and production devices.
  • Develop and test firmware on development boards for deployment to prototype and production hardware.
  • Build monitoring and recovery systems that detect hardware / software issues and autonomously recover from failure states.
  • Troubleshoot and debug issues reported from devices deployed in the field (connectivity, power, module failures, etc.).
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers on schematics, board-level design decisions, and system architecture.
  • Develop and optimize on-device code that supports RF detection, sensing, and device discovery.
  • Participate in hardware roadmap planning for future device generations.
  • Maintain and improve firmware codebases through documentation, refactoring, and performance optimization.
  • Mentor teammates and provide technical guidance on embedded and firmware best practices.
  • Own technical relationships with third-party hardware design and manufacturing partners.
  • Debug complex system issues, prioritize effectively, and deliver with high efficiency.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or demonstrable equivalent professional experience and work products)
  • 3–5+ years of professional experience in embedded systems or firmware development
  • Strong proficiency in C / C++ for resource-constrained embedded targets
  • Hands-on, system-level experience designing, implementing, and debugging embedded systems (from low-level drivers to application code)
  • Demonstrated experience prototyping and developing embedded systems
  • Working knowledge of embedded Linux, including kernel configuration, driver integration, and board support (experience with Yocto or similar build systems is a plus)
  • Familiarity with RTOS concepts and application development (tasks, scheduling, synchronization, and memory management)
  • Strong communication skills, work ethic, and a passion for continuous learning
  • Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Familiarity with modern C / C++ build and dependency tooling (e.g., CMake, Autotools, Conan, or similar)
  • Experience implementing and debugging common embedded communication interfaces and protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, etc.)
  • FreeRTOS application developmentDevelopment on Espressif platforms (e.g., ESP32, ESP-IDF)
  • Experience programming and integrating FPGAs into embedded systems
  • Direct experience with hardware development : Digital circuit designPCB layout and PCBABoard bring-up and validation
