Copper Home | Staff Embedded Systems Engineer | ONSITE (Berkeley, CA)
Copper Home (fka Channing Street Copper) builds battery-integrated induction appliances for home electrification — we're making decarbonization accessible by putting energy storage inside everyday products, starting with the stove.
The firmware team is small and owns application firmware, device connectivity, automated testing, manufacturing tools, and an MQTT backend for OTA updates and fleet telemetry.
We're hiring a staff embedded systems engineer focused core firmware architecture on the Charlie induction range.
In this role, you may:
- Own major pieces of our embedded platform and prototypes of future products.
- Lead improvements to device connectivity (Wi-Fi, BLE, OTA, provisioning, failure recovery) and energy management.
- Evolve fleet management, telemetry, and remote management/update systems with a focus on robustness and cost efficiency at scale.
- Mentor engineers through design reviews and day-to-day technical collaboration.
Tech stack: C and Python; FreeRTOS on ESP-IDF; 802.11, BLE, CAN; MQTT; AWS
Salary: $182k–$210k + equity

SPAN | Staff SWE, Embedded Linux Platform | Rust, Clean Energy | Onsite (SF) | Full-time | VISA (H1B transfer)
SPAN builds hardware products that accelerate the adoption renewable energy in the home! We manufacture and sell the SPAN Smart Panel, an electric panel that performs software-based load management and monitoring for homes with solar, battery storage, and big appliances like EV chargers.
The Device Platform team is a 6-person team maintaining the Yocto-based embedded Linux platform underpinning SPAN’s hardware products.
We're hiring a Rust-focused systems software engineer to work on our application platform.
In the next year, you may:
- Build out our cross-platform application development SDK written in Rust, and supporting others developing new product offerings.
- Co-design new APIs with our cloud team (MQTT, HTTP, and gRPC).
- Collaborate with specialists in data science and power electronics to support simulation testing of power control behaviors in our application stack.
- Overhaul our on-device telemetry, alerting, and fault reporting for our growing customer base.

Indeed, carrier phase and multi-frequency+constellation measurements are drifting into consumer hardware, but I can say that it's probably going to be a Good Long While before we full realize its benefits. The use of cell phones (and cheap cell phone antennas) is an active area of research, particularly for organizations aiming to make high-accuracy GNSS positioning widely accessible outside of specialty markets (i.e., agriculture and surveying). It's an interesting area to be in for sure:
The base station network density question @ac29 points out later is a compelling reason for some of this.
(Shill: We're hiring for firmware engineers right now, focused on a variety of different areas: embedded Linux, DSP basebands (C), and navigation algorithms (C++) design and implementation. See https://jobs.lever.co/swift-nav for more details or email [email protected].)
