Your territory
As part of our Firmware team, you will:
Act as a bridge between exploratory R&D and embedded systems engineering, turning bold ideas into tangible solutions for our trackers and pet tech products
Research and prototype new sensing technologies, data processing methods, and connectivity solutions to keep our products innovative, reliable, and ahead of industry trends
Dive into areas such as edge AI, low-power IoT, and advanced localization (GPS, Cellular, BLE, and beyond)
Design and implement embedded firmware prototypes in C/C++ that run on real devices, from quick proofs-of-concept to more mature demonstrators
Work closely with Firmware, Backend, Data Science, and Hardware teams to bring innovative features from concept to large-scale deployment
Rapidly validate hypotheses through simulation, field testing, and data analysis to identify high-potential ideas
Translate experimental concepts into robust, manufacturable features that deliver measurable value to customers
Present your research and prototypes to a team of developers working on the transition to production FW ready code
Share insights, challenge the status quo, and introduce forward-thinking approaches to continuously evolve our technology and processes
Bring in your fresh ideas to make Tractive better - you’ll never hear the phrase “...because that’s how we’ve always done things”
Continuously grow personally and professionally, take ownership of areas that show your potential, and attend workshops which help you get to the next level
