Embedded Software Engineer - Sensor Integration & Python Systems
Location:
San Francisco, CA
Time Type:
Full Time
The Opportunity:
Ohalo is seeking a hands-on, systems-focused Embedded Software Engineer to lead development and integration of sensor-driven, data-rich embedded systems. You'll architect and deploy Python-based control frameworks that bridge the physical and digital layers of our biotechnology infrastructure — from lab automation to environmental monitoring.
The ideal candidate brings a balance of embedded systems knowledge and high-level software engineering ability, with particular strength in Python-based control systems, sensor data acquisition, and systems integration. If you're excited by the challenge of building real-time, sensor-driven infrastructure in a dynamic biotech environment, we want to hear from you.
With multiple facilities, greenhouse operations, and custom hardware in development, your software will serve as a critical interface between machines, data, and scientific workflows.
Responsibilities:
Sensor Integration: Lead development of software that collects,processes, and logs real-time data from a variety of sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, pressure, imaging). Python System Development: Build modular, testable, Python-based control systems for lab and greenhouse instrumentation, including device orchestration and data pipelines. Embedded Collaboration: Interface with microcontroller firmware and embedded Linux systems to ensure smooth communication and control of hardware components. Cross-System Coordination: Work closely with biology, hardware, and software teams to ensure systems perform reliably in real-world, high-uptime settings. Diagnostics & Monitoring: Develop diagnostics, watchdogs, and safety routines to ensure system health and recoverability. Rapid Prototyping: Create quick, functional prototypes for new equipment and sensors; iterate in partnership with hardware engineers and scientists. Documentation & Tracking: Maintain clean codebases, document interfaces, and contribute to lightweight tracking of control logic and sensor configurations.
Candidate Profile:
~5 years of hands-on experience in embedded software, systems integration, or control system development. Strong Python developer with experience in real-time systems, industrial automation, or robotics environments. Experience integrating a variety of physical sensors using common protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, Modbus, CAN). Experience with MQTT, ROS, Modbus, or similar integration frameworks. Familiarity with embedded Linux (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Jetson, BeagleBone) or microcontroller platforms (e.g., STM32, ESP32, Arduino). Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot at the interface between hardware and software. Able to thrive in hands-on, experimental environments with evolving requirements. Bonus if you have experience with cloud (AWS, GCP, data warehousing or IoT data). Bonus if you've worked in lab automation, ag-tech, or industrial biotech settings.
