Embedded Software Engineer

We are seeking a passionate Embedded Software Engineer to join our team at unspun. In this role, you will be instrumental in transitioning our revolutionary Vega™ 3D weaving technology from R&D to production-ready deployment. Your work will be crucial in scaling our automated manufacturing capabilities, directly supporting our goal to reduce global carbon emissions by 1% through revolutionizing clothes manufacturing.

About unspun: unspun's mission is to reduce global carbon emissions by 1% by revolutionizing the way we make clothes. We envision a world where every garment is made on-demand, eliminating overproduction and reconnecting people with the clothing they wear.

We've developed Vega™, the world's first 3D weaving technology for apparel. Our automated system can transform yarns into garments in minutes, enabling local, on-demand production that drastically reduces waste and carbon emissions. We're now transitioning from successful R&D to commercial deployment, backed by leading climate-tech VCs and working with major brands like Walmart.

What You'll Do: As our Embedded Software Engineer, your core responsibility will be developing and maintaining the software that powers our Vega™ weaving system. You will work across multiple teams to ensure our revolutionary 3D weaving technology operates reliably and efficiently. Your key responsibilities include:

• Developing and maintaining embedded software for industrial device control and communication
• Creating and executing comprehensive test plans
• Designing and maintaining telemetry and monitoring systems for deployed Vega™ machines
• Developing Linux-based applications for seamless communication between our pattern creation software (Oppy) and machine control systems
• Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to ensure successful deployment and operation

Ideal Qualities:

• 3-5 years of experience in embedded software development
• Strong experience developing firmware features for microcontrollers in embedded real-time systems
• Strong software engineering fundamentals including proficiency in C++ or similar modern programming languages, object-oriented programming, templating, multi-threaded programming, and memory management
• Strong background in developing automated tests, test infrastructure, and debugging embedded systems
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field

Bonus Points:

• Experience transitioning systems from R&D to production environments
• Experience with electro-mechanical systems
• Experience with FreeRTOS or similar real-time operating systems
• Previous work with production deployment and monitoring systems
• Experience with Linux application development
• Familiarity with robotics or industrial automation systems

We don't expect you to have all of the listed qualities. If you don't meet all the requirements but have a voracious passion for learning and are excited about our mission, we strongly encourage you to apply.
