Embedded Software Engineer - Shift Robotics

We’re making the world a more walkable place. Through intuitive personal mobility, we make walking faster, more efficient, and more accessible to empower people to choose walking over sitting in traffic. By giving people the ability to Moonwalk, we believe the path forward to a better future is easily reached on your own two feet.

Help us advance the world’s fastest shoes by designing, prototyping, and testing reliable and innovative hardware. If you are looking for a job where MS Excel is a skill set, this is not the one. We want an engineer ready to push the boundaries and one who makes the impossible a reality. We are looking for a work ethic similar to an engineer in Formula One. You must deliver and iterate quickly. We are not here for mediocrity, we are here to create elegant engineering designs. Is it demanding? Sure, but it is also rewarding and fun.

While we embark on developing the next generation of Moonwalkers, we need to add to the Software team. Where we are looking for a person with a strong interest in the development, testing, documenting, and support of embedded system firmware and software.

We are covered in Wired, CNET, Gizomodo, PCMag and many other tech press.
