Christchurch, New Zealand OSHO Full time

Note: this advertisement is for an independent contractor, not a permanent employee._

**About Us**

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

Osho is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life. We're more than happy to take on someone who wants to work remotely from a different location across New Zealand too, or wants to relocate.

We're also currently in stealth mode, so check out our website and we'll share more with you during the recruitment process

**The Role**

Our embedded team has grown, and we have some exciting yet tight deliverables to meet next quarter. As such, we're looking to engage 1-2 embedded engineering contractors to pitch in and work with our embedded team between January and April next year. We have an existing small team, systems outlines, concepts, functional prototypes, test setups, and scripts, and we now need to resolve these to deliver a real product to market.

To be clear, you will not be polishing some ancient code or tinkering around the edges. This is a jump-in boots-and-all clean sheet opportunity. We are building a highly complex distributed IOT system - interfacing cloud connected systems containing complex processing, configuration, and control. If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of and leave your mark on - jump onboard

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

- Assisting our systems team with rapid prototyping of new concepts to realise and validate IP blocks
- Quickly creating proof-of-concept software to test new ideas.
- Implementing sensor interfaces, working with ADCs and signal processing
- Implementing the cloud connectivity, firmware update mechanisms, security protocols, authentication and data management of an IOT system.
- Helping to establish the processes and documentation systems for a safety-critical regulated product, working with our process leads to achieve this
- Creating efficient unit tests, continuous test infrastructure, test equipment interfaces, backend support systems
- Developing fast, reliable, secure, and efficient communications interfaces.
- Developing high-reliability software capable of functioning for years without resetting
- Conducting code reviews of your peers' work, and using code reviews of your own work to improve your game
- Co-ordinating with other members of the Physical Tribe to ensure you can collectively deliver on milestones

**About You**

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you:

- Are a contractor
- Have a tertiary qualification in software development, or relevant experience
- Have around 5+ years of experience developing embedded software
- Can create great embedded software in C++ (C++14 or later)
- Have an understanding of the wider system beyond software, and an ability to articulate the impact of systems decisions on software and vice versa
- Are comfortable working with uncertainty, using your initiative, and doing what it takes to solve problems
- Have a desire to sprint, iterate and understand when to go fast vs when to be detailed
- Enjoy working in a start-up environment

Some of the following would also be useful, but are not essential:

- A background in safety critical software development, or familiarity in working with robust engineering practices and certifiable software
- Experience working with bare-metal real-time MCU’s

**Let's Talk**

We’d love to hear from you No need to submit a cover letter - just click 'apply' to answer a few short questions of ours (we find this gives us more insight) and attach your CV.
