Firmware Intern

WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather models with a unique proprietary data source: a global constellation of next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data. In this role, you’ll design and run experiments to understand the behaviors of our system in weird conditions, while owning firmware strategy and solving fascinating challenges alongside a team of brilliant engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain drivers & low level libraries for new chips, modules, & sensors
• Own our custom open source RTOS hardware abstraction layer, Amslah. It has many custom features made for our unique application (I’m excited to tell you about them!) but but requires hardening and architecture refinements as we scale
• Push the limits of our custom sensor hardware & calibration infrastructure, ensuring our GSBs are power optimized & survive extreme cold beyond subcomponent specifications
• Work closely with people doing R&D on novel hardware as we seek to improve the accuracy of our meteorological measurements
• Design fault-tolerant systems that can recover gracefully from unexpected conditions
• Debug highly non-trivial issues
