Staff Embedded Software Engineer

Staff Embedded Software Engineer (Generalist) (C++) Location: San Francisco, CA – In Office 3 Days/Week About Point One Navigation Point One Navigation is on a mission to bridge the digital and physical worlds through precision location. Our RTK Corrections Network and FusionEngine™ software deliver centimeter-level accuracy and high-confidence positioning for vehicles, robots, drones, and devices across industries. We're API-first, developer-focused, and pushing the boundaries of autonomy and automation. Role Outcome Staff Embedded Software Engineers own the design, implementation, and integrity of Point One's core navigation engine and products - from low-level hardware integration to system-level software architecture and algorithm design. This is an ownership-first role: you will conceptualize and drive complex technical challenges end-to-end - from early architecture through deployment in mission-critical systems - while raising the technical bar across the team. FusionEngine powers a wide range of devices, hardware platforms, and customer applications. This team is responsible for making it work reliably across all of them: designing solutions to difficult new problems, responding to evolving customer needs, and ensuring the navigation engine stays thoroughly tested, verified, and production-ready as it grows. The navigation engine is robust, performant, and correct across a diverse and expanding set of hardware platforms and customer environments. New sensors, interfaces, and hardware platforms are integrated reliably, with clear abstractions that scale. Engineering decisions reflect a deep understanding of real-world deployment constraints - timing, power, reliability, and safety. Customer challenges are met with well-designed, durable solutions - not one-off fixes. Testing and verification are treated as first-class responsibilities, giving the team and customers confidence in every release. Junior engineers grow faster and the team's practices improve measurably over time. Immediate Areas of Focus Own the Navigation Engine and Platform Lead design, implementation, and optimization of the core navigation engine across a wide range of hardware platforms, devices, and customer applications. Conceptualize and architect solutions that integrate GNSS receivers, inertial sensors, wheel odometry, cameras, and other hardware - with abstractions that scale across diverse deployments. Break down high-level work descriptions into concrete tasks, schedules, and milestones, and hold yourself accountable for delivering against them. Drive performance tuning and low-level optimizations across a range of platforms - from Linux-based devices (ARM and x86) to bare-metal microcontroller environments. Ensure the software stack is well-structured, maintainable, and built to last as the product and customer base grow. Drive Hardware Integration and Bring-Up Own board bring-up, driver development, and hardware validation for new platforms and peripherals. Work hands-on with hardware interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN) and debugging tools (gdb, JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes). #J-18808-Ljbffr Point One Navigation
