Squarehead is looking for an Yocto Platform Engineer to help us advance our world-leading acoustic systems.

We’re a small team in the software department who build the platform of our products. Now we're looking for a new teammate to join us!

What you’ll do

Our main product is an array of 100+ microphones, which, combined with some clever maths and signals processing, enables us to listen in a direction. This allows us to detect and locate threats like drones.

The platform our product runs on is our own hardware where we build our operating system with the use of Yocto Project. The main responsibility of this platform is to enable our applications to make use of the sampled microphone signal, run algorithms and to provide audio and video streams to our users.

To make all of this happen, we use tools like Yocto Project, CMake, Bitbake, clang-tidy, clang-format, sanitizers, IDEs of your choice, git and GitLab. And the best tool of all; talking to each other and getting stuff done.

The role is based in Oslo, Norway, more specifically in Nydalen, but working from home every now and then is not a problem. Yocto Project experience as well as good written and oral communication skills in English are required. Any knowledge in C++ programming, Linux Kernel and C is a bonus.

If this sounds fun to you, and you have experience in some of what we have listed, send us an application describing how you can contribute. A bachelor’s degree or other relevant experience is an advantage when applying.
