Tech Lead - Embedded Platform
Level inferred from job title
Job description
A player-coach engineering lead who owns Airtame's entire platform layer: the operating system and firmware on every device, the streaming stack, releases to the field, and new hardware bringup. Roughly 60% hands-on technical work and 40% growing and leading the engineers on the team.

What you'll do
- Take AirPlay and Miracast from beta to default across the Airtame product line
- Make firmware releases boring: a predictable cadence, an automated quality bar, and routine shipping to the whole fleet
- Turn the next board into a shipping Airtame: boot, network, thermal management, and conferencing performance, with a repeatable path from board to QA-testable build
- Lead the team: run 1:1s, set the technical bar, support team members' growth, and hire
- Push AI-assisted development further: sharper workflows, better tooling choices, and new patterns that make the group faster
- Own the whole platform layer, from the bootloader to the release that reaches the field
What we're looking for
- Have set a team's technical direction: architecture calls and the reviews where hard problems get caught
- Want the people side too: growing engineers, running 1:1s, hiring
- Embedded Linux experience: the kernel, the BSP, userspace, C and C++ running on the device itself
- Experience close to the metal: wireless stacks, streaming protocols, drivers
- Can reason about a bug whether it lives in the firmware, the network, or the silicon
- Have owned software that ships to the field, with staged rollouts, over-the-air updates, and testing on the devices themselves
- Have done new hardware bringup, or worked close enough to it to lead the people who do
- Use AI as a daily tool: write code with it, debug with it, prototype with it, and help others do the same
