Embedded Software Lead

During 2021, Nectarine Health™ at Home is launched in the US market as a B2B2C product. Within a few years time, the product portfolio will also have a range of customized products for partners globally. In this role, you will work in and lead the team that is responsible for handling all characteristics of embedded Linux development, short range radio modules (mainly Bluetooth and Wi-Fi), protocols and device drivers for our gateways and our wearables. The work is performed closely with other teams - such as AI/ML, product, mechanic developers, industry design, test and back end - which leads to a good understanding and overview of the complete projects and products.

What we do and by that, what you will do:
The embedded team is responsible for all development of our devices including gateways, satellites and a wristband.

Our wristband is running C code on a low energy Nordic semiconductor chipset and has a high focus on low power consumption. Communications between devices are handled via BLE.

The Satellite is also running C on the same Nordic semiconductor chipset. It acts mainly as a BLE repeater to extend the range for our wristbands.

The gateway is both provided with the same Nordic semiconductor chipset but also with a iMX running Yocto to handle more complex logic (written in Go) such as BLE roaming, data aggregation, etc. The gateway is connected to our backend through WIFI and streams all data to a MQTT server.

The Gateway also handles other functionality such as updates for all devices with the help of Eclipse Hawkbit and metric gathering with the help of Prometheus for all devices.

Technologies we use:

- C
- BLE/WIFI
- Yocto
- Linux
- Go
- Protobuf
- MQTT
- Hawkbit
- Prometheus
- CI/CD with Jenkins
