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
