Teleo
Supervised Autonomous Heavy Equipment
Vehicle Systems Integration, Embedded Firmware
About the role
Teleo is a robotics startup disrupting a trillion-dollar industry. Teleo converts construction heavy equipment, like loaders, dozers, excavators, trucks, etc. into autonomous robots. This technology allows a single operator to efficiently control multiple machines simultaneously, delivering substantial benefits to our customers while significantly enhancing operator safety and comfort.
Teleo is founded by Vinay Shet and Rom Clément, experienced technology executives who led the development of Lyft’s Self Driving Car and Google Street View. Teleo is backed by YCombinator, Up Partners, F-Prime Capital, and a host of industry luminaries. Teleo’s product is already deployed on several continents and generating revenue.
Teleo is poised for rapid growth. This presents a unique opportunity to be part of a team that is creating a product with a profound impact on our customers, working on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots, engineering intricate systems at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI, and joining the early stages of an exciting startup journey.
About the Role
As a Vehicle Systems Integration Engineer specializing in Embedded Firmware, you will be instrumental in the development, integration, and validation of onboard firmware enabling the conversation of any piece of equipment into a drive-by-wire vehicle. Your primary objective will be to achieve rapid and universal conversion across all types, brands, and vintages of construction equipment.
Interacting daily with the hardware, deployment, and software teams, the best candidate for this role will have a multidisciplinary approach with a clear passion for implementing highly scaleable code bases.
Because we are hands-on and end-to-end testing matters, this role requires the ability to travel up to 25% to construction sites at customer locations.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or relevant degree with 3+ years of experience developing low-level embedded software C/C++ on microcontrollers (NXP, Ti, STM, ESP...)
- Experience with protocols such as CAN, I2C, Ethernet, SPI, PWM
- Experience developing firmware on RTOS
- Extensive experience troubleshooting complex systems at remote isolated locations and, proposing solutions
- Acute attention to engineering details with a safety-first mindset
Preferred Qualification/Bonus Points
- MS in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or a related field with 5+ years of hands-on experience developing, qualifying, and deploying safety-critical embedded systems for automotive or space or similar applications using specific RTOSProven experience in managing independently (as an individual contributor and/or technical lead) the development, verification, and validation of an electronics product
- Well-versed in C/C++/Rust for embedded safety-critical applications on Safety Critical OS
- Well-versed in safety protocol (CanOpen or similar)
- Startup experience (hands-on + creative thinker with a Get It Done attitude)
- Experience designing HIL (Hardware In the Loop) test benches and production line procedures
- Experience in engineering universal solutions broadly and rapidly deployable to multiple platforms and use cases
- Experience interacting with customers and representing the company
Work Environment & Physical Demands
