Job Title: OS / Device Lifecycle Engineer (Secure Boot / OTA / Identity)

We're a start-up building a local-AI camera OS that replaces cloud CCTV: SigmaStar cameras → RTSP/ONVIF → HDMI node → on-device AI (offline-first).

About the Role

We already run RTSP + inference. Now we need the person who owns several year device reality.

Responsibilities

You will own (single layer ownership):

  • Secure boot / trust chain (ROM → U-Boot → kernel → rootfs)
  • OTA updates + rollback strategy (A/B, recovery modes)
  • Device identity & lifecycle (provisioning, key rotation)
  • Failure recovery (power loss, corrupted SD, watchdogs)

Requirements

You must be able to answer directly:

  • SD vs eMMC vs NVMe tradeoffs + corruption mitigation
  • Brown-out behavior, thermal throttling, BSP maturity
  • Camera ISP/NPU concurrency constraints + vendor SDK realities

Location

Remote, UK/EU preferred


Job Title: Independent Embedded/Firmware Engineer (Bring-up Audit & Stability)

We’re shipping on real hardware. Reliability beats elegance. We need a senior embedded engineer to audit and validate our assumptions and prevent single-point-of-failure risk.

Responsibilities

You will own:

  • Independent review of firmware/bring-up assumptions
  • Validation of performance, thermals, power behavior, stability
  • Reproducible test plans (what breaks, how to detect, how to recover)
  • Documentation that prevents knowledge living in one head

Requirements

If you’ve shipped embedded systems that survive ugly reality (packet loss, unplugging, thermal throttling, storage corruption), we want to talk.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • Flexible working environment & location
