Firmware Intern

WindBorne Systems is innovating in weather modeling with a unique data source from smart weather balloons. They are seeking a Firmware Intern to manage their firmware stack, develop drivers, and design fault-tolerant systems for their autonomous balloons.

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 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
