Step into a foundational engineering role at a fast-growing grid intelligence company.

We are seeking a Staff Embedded Linux Engineer to join our customer focused team, take charge of the Linux kernel, drivers, and bootloader beneath our current technology, and shape the embedded architecture of future generation products.

LineVision’s customers include eight of the ten largest US utilities, which rely on field deployed device sensors to run securely and reliably. You will work on ruggedized, solar-powered sensors mounted on poles away from the transmission lines they monitor. Each pairs a Linux compute module with a companion microcontroller, connects over cellular, and must run for years without a site visit.

Reporting to the Senior Manager of Embedded Software Engineering, you will have broad autonomy over kernel and bootloader maintenance, security patching, board bring-up, system software improvements, and device security, including secure boot. You will bridge a hardware-focused embedded team with Data Science and Computer Vision, moving algorithms onto the device and raising the team’s software depth, delivering LineVision devices that are lean, secure, and ready for what comes next.

Please note: Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. This position is not eligible for employment visa sponsorship.
