Job Description

Torus is hiring a Staff Embedded Systems Engineer to be a senior level individual contributor on our firmware team, working in close partnership with our Firmware Architect. This is a hands-on role where you'll translate architectural direction into well-engineered, production-grade firmware, raise the technical bar across the team, and take deep ownership of the most complex problems in our embedded stack—from serial protocol integrations to fleet-scale deployment and field diagnostics.

Job Responsibility

  • Supporting and mentoring a small team of firmware engineers
  • Developing firmware features across our energy storage product lines: telemetry, control loops, cloud connectivity, and hardware abstraction layers
  • Owning system integration—working closely with hardware, data, and software teams
  • Driving quality through design reviews, automated testing, and documentation
  • Debugging and optimizing real-time embedded applications and serial communication interfaces
  • Supporting scaling operations—deployment tooling, remote monitoring, and root-cause analysis of field issues
  • Participate in on-call rotation for escalated technical issues

Requirements

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Embedded Systems, or equivalent practical experience
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience developing commercial embedded software or firmware applications
  • Strong Python proficiency and real production experience running Python on Embedded Linux (Yocto or similar)
  • Solid understanding of serial communication protocols—RS-485, Modbus, I²C, CAN, Ethernet
  • Experience with real-time embedded systems: multi-threading, inter-process communication, timing constraints
  • Ability to read schematics and PCB layouts to troubleshoot hardware integration issues
  • Proven track record leading or mentoring engineers on technical projects
  • Applicants must already have the legal authorization to work in the US without requiring any employer sponsorship
  • Proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English required

Nice to have

  • Experience with IoT device management at scale (fleet OTA, remote diagnostics)
  • Familiarity with AWS IoT, MQTT, or data telemetry pipelines
  • Exposure to energy storage systems, inverters, or grid-connected hardware
  • Knowledge of VPP programs, demand response, or utility interconnection standards (IEEE 1547, UL 1741)
  • Experience with containerized embedded deployments (Docker/Balena on Linux targets)
  • CI/CD practices in embedded or hardware-adjacent environments

What we offer

  • Employee Rewards Package including Equity
  • 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
  • Health Benefits Package: Choice between traditional PPO or HSA eligible medical plans
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Human-centered Paid Time Off including Unlimited Discretionary PTO
  • 10-days paid company holidays
  • Waiting period-free 100% paid parental leave
  • Torus paid Life and AD&D Insurance with option to purchase additional coverage
  • Voluntary Short- and Long-Term Disability Insurance
  • Peer Recognition Program
