Our customizable services and programs span driver safety, risk detection, fleet tracking, compliance and fuel management. Using the world’s largest driving database of its kind, along with proprietary machine vision and artificial intelligence technology, we help protect and connect thousands of fleets and more than one million drivers worldwide. Within the Lytx Lab team you’ll be part of a group which is rapidly developing and experimenting, bringing news ideas to life. If you’re interested in real time distributed computing intelligence (edge IoT + cloud), with data from GPS, sensors, machine vision, vehicles, 3rd party sources like weather, traffic or deriving insights from data while making a real difference, Lytx is the place for you.

You’ll Get To Do In The Lab:

• Be largely self-directed where you can work without constraints, as the name of the game is rapid innovation.

• Design, develop and deploy firmware and algorithms to explore novel use cases.

• Work within the Labs group along with Big Data, Cloud, Data Science and product explorers to conceptualize, craft/build/test new ideas and break new ground.

• Awareness of commercialization aspects is a huge plus, but the bias is towards rapid development to explore valuable new use cases.

• Most deployed SW is embedded Linux, with some Android, but in our domain it’s more about the best tools to experiment quickly and other platforms/tools can be used whenever they help achieve that goal.

• Architect, design, and implement the mechanism for side loading Beta/Alpha/Labs experimental builds onto a targeted set of devices

• The lab team is dynamic and encouraged to share and grow, helping all skill/level up across the other domains

• Perform other duties as assigned

What You’ll Need:

• Ability to design and implement applications as parts of a system of cooperating state machines

• Experience with developing algorithms to run in an embedded/constrained context (heat/power/processing limitations)

• Experience with sensor fusion (sensors, GPS, image/video)

• Experience with communication protocols, data processing (decode/encode)

• Detailed understanding of embedded Linux platforms.

• Experience with embedded Android platforms is a plus.

• Experience with using open-source components in delivering software solutions.

• Ability to factor in GPL compliance factors in build engineering

• Ability to use Open Embedded-based distributions to produce cross-compiled packages using our existing toolchain

• Bachelor's degree in computer engineering or related field or equivalent work experience, graduate level degree(s) are preferred.

• Minimum 5 years of embedded software development experience

• Extensive experience using Linux/UNIX platforms and shell utilities

• Proficient in C, C++ and RUST.

• Experience with Open Embedded, BitBake, and GNU make build tools

• Interest and experience using GenAI to solve problems.

• Demonstrated independent ability to take an idea to full production use.

Bonus points for:

• Experience using oscilloscopes, DVMs, programmable power supplies, terminal servers and other common firmware development tools

• Experience with UML state charts and sequence diagrams or similar design methodologies for example: Quantum Leaps frameworks

• Experience with Qt updates Linux kernel development

• Device Driver development

• Development in JavaScript

Benefits:

• Medical, dental and vision insurance 
• Health Savings Account
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Telehealth
• 401(k) and 401(k) match
• Life and AD&D insurance
• Short-Term and Long-Term Disability
