Embedded Systems / IoT Engineer – Hardware Prototyping

Role Description This is a full-time, remote role for an Embedded Systems / IoT Engineer – Hardware Prototyping. The engineer will design, prototype, and test embedded hardware solutions that power 808Labs’ AI and IoT-driven products. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing firmware, integrating sensors and actuators, configuring and using platforms such as Raspberry Pi, and collaborating with software teams to ensure seamless communication between hardware and cloud-based services. The role involves creating proof-of-concept devices, optimizing performance and reliability, documenting designs and test results, and supporting iterations from prototype to scalable product implementations. The engineer will work closely with cross-functional product teams to deliver robust hardware foundations for AI, commerce, and digital infrastructure solutions.QualificationsStrong Internet of Things (IoT) skills, including device integration, connectivity, and sensor-based system design.Programming and Software Development skills for embedded and IoT systems, using relevant languages and frameworks.Experience with Raspberry Pi or similar single-board computers for rapid hardware prototyping and system validation.Understanding of Inductive Output Tube (IOT) or related high-power RF technologies is a plus, particularly for specialized hardware applications.Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.Experience in embedded firmware development, hardware debugging, and use of test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).Knowledge of communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, MQTT, HTTP) and integration with cloud or edge computing platforms.Ability to work independently in a remote setting, collaborate effectively with distributed teams, and document designs and processes clearly.Familiarity with version control systems, prototyping tools, and agile product development practices.
