About Hologram

We are a team of insanely ambitious makers, engineers, operators, and general troublemakers. Our mission is to build the platform creating connected products, including hardware (the Hologram Dash and SIM cards), connecting to the Hologram cellular network, and web applications for managing devices and data. We are venture backed and growing fast to support our expanding customer base.

We run a global operation and will hire talented people anywhere. Our headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois.

What is this role?

An advanced embedded software engineer with a passion for writing SDKs, APIs, and peripheral drivers to be used by customers and other developers, as well as a knack for working with embedded operating systems. An engineer that sees good design as an art, and dreams of producing determinism and reliable development platforms.

What you'll do

The ideal candidate will use candidate's knowledge of microcontrollers, peripheral interfaces, and embedded software design and development to help us design next-generation hardware, embedded software tools, and related toolchains for our customers to build internet-connected products.

On a typical day, the advanced embedded engineer will work closely with our task/sprint/documentation management systems during development, while being awarded the ability to be a member of a forward-thinking, ground-shaking team of some of the very best developers that love what they do.

Specifically, the advanced embedded engineer will help design, build, and document user-facing drivers, HAL, and operating system integrations for specific hardware, as well as portable SDKs for various target architectures.

Who we're looking for

  • 5+ years experience
  • B.S. in electrical engineering, software engineering, computer science, or equivalent
  • Proficient in C and C++
  • Proficient in Python (non-embedded or embedded) also a strong plus
  • Experienced in one or more toolchains (e.g. Kinetis Design Studio, Arduino, GCC+Make, web-based IDEs)
  • Experience in ARM development
  • Experience using Bluetooth/BLE in an embedded environment a strong plus
  • Experience in hardware and software cryptography in an embedded environment a strong plus
  • Experienced in computer network protocols a plus
  • Experienced in assembler and macros a plus
  • Will work in the following workplace environment:
    • Development sprints
    • Squads/chapters/projects (https://labs.spotify.com/2014/03/27/spotify-engineering-culture-part-1/)
Why should you join us?

At Hologram, we believe in you and your immediate squad members to know what's best for our platform and we enable you to make immediate, customer-impacting decisions. You can see this in how we develop products and processes: Hologram pushes decision-making out to the edges of the organization to reduce management overhead and increase speed to market.

We also have a flexible work from home policy (i.e. you make your own). This means you can decide to work from home whenever you want and only coordinate face-to-face with your teammates when you need to. Some team members work from home full time.

Hologram promotes tight knit teams by officially supporting events that allow you to get to know your teammates in a relaxed environment. We periodically host events to take a pause from work, hang out, learn more about the other aspects of the business, and most importantly learn about each other.
