Senior Embedded / Edge Platform Lead

📋 Job Overview

As the company scales, the embedded stack is the brains of the device and needs a senior owner. As Senior Embedded / Edge Platform Lead, you own our firmware and edge platform end to end — the architecture, where it's going, and the engineers who build it. You are the technical anchor for everything embedded: what the code is, how it performs, and how reliably it runs on a device that captures first-person data all day on a moving body.

🏢 About Mecka

Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI. We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI and robotics teams. Our operations span multiple countries, with contributors, partners, and customers across North America and Asia.

🎯 The Role

You define the embedded test and diagnostics strategy that our Shenzhen-based production-embedded engineer hardens at the line, and you partner across electrical, camera software, and mechanical to keep the platform coherent.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Own the firmware/embedded architecture for the capture device and its edge compute — the single source of truth for the design.
• Drive firmware/silicon and firmware/hardware interface definition with electrical and camera-software teams, from early architecture through bring-up.
• Own power management, thermal behavior, data-capture integrity, storage, and OTA update reliability.
• Lead and grow the embedded team — mentoring engineers, setting standards, and owning code quality.
• Define the embedded test and diagnostics strategy that the production-embedded team executes at the factory.
• Own the embedded post-mortem loop, driving root-cause from field and factory back into the architecture.

📌 Required Qualifications

• 8+ years in embedded software, including ownership of a full firmware stack on a shipping consumer device — ideally battery-powered, always-on, or wearable.
• Deep expertise in embedded C/C++, RTOS or embedded Linux, drivers, and bring-up on custom SoCs — fluent across the bus stack (I2C/SPI/UART, USB) and lab debugging (oscilloscope, logic/protocol analyzer).
• Strong grasp of power and thermal management and data integrity on constrained devices.
• Experience setting embedded test and diagnostics strategy that caught issues before mass production.
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Camera/sensor pipeline experience (MIPI/CSI, ISP, sensor bring-up).
• Experience partnering with a factory-side embedded/test engineer across a time-zone split.
• Background in body-worn, action-camera, or AR/VR devices.
