Who we are:

Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity—connecting people to housing, education, employment, commerce, and care. By making transportation more accessible, affordable, and sustainable, we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity.

Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity, exceptional user experiences, unmatched affordability, and minimal environmental impact.

The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access, it offers personalized and efficient mobility—without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.

With Glydways, we’re building more than a transportation system; we’re creating a future where everyone, everywhere, has the freedom to move.

Meet the team:

The Embedded team, works closely with Vehicle Hardware, Autonomy, and Infrastructure engineers to go the last mile in getting software running on the vehicle.  Whether it’s making sure data is flowing from the latest sensor kit, or custom firmware is written and loaded onto main compute - the Embedded Software team gets to play with all the cool new toys, and impact the entire org while working with engineers from almost every team.

Roles & Responsibilities:

  • Design, prototype, build, and test production embedded vehicle firmware.
  • Evaluate, implement, test, and optimize applications in a real-time operating system environment.
  • Working with algorithms teams to take advantage of unique hardware acceleration opportunities.
  • Evaluate, design, and implement both existing and custom communication protocols between devices and between compute modules.
  • Work with autonomy, hardware engineers, and software throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle - from device bring-up, to software deploy.
  • Work with test engineers and platform engineers in developing testing frameworks and harnesses at the unit, integration, and system levels.
  • MCU Boot

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

  • Expert level knowledge of C or C++ programming; other languages and skills also valuable.
  • Strong knowledge of communication protocols, from low level (SPI, UART, CAN) to high level (TCP/UDP)
  • Experience with RTOS environments, especially FreeRTOS/SafeRTOS.
  • Experience with time synchronization protocols such as NTP and PTP
  • Experience with safety critical systems and processes.
    • Bonus points for experience within automotive and/or transit
  • Experience deploying firmware to multi device vehicles in a power safe way.
  • Familiarity with electronics test equipment and hardware debugging (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc)
  • Device Driver experience
  • Speed and size optimization for embedded/resource constrained platforms
  • Software Development Life Cycle
  • New hardware/board or SoC bring up
  • Kernel internals/fundamentals
  • CAN and DBC knowledge is a plus

What you need to know about the Boston Tech Scene

Boston is a powerhouse for technology innovation thanks to world-class research universities like MIT and Harvard and a robust pipeline of venture capital investment. Host to the first telephone call and one of the first general-purpose computers ever put into use, Boston is now a hub for biotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence — though it’s also home to several B2B software giants. So it’s no surprise that the city consistently ranks among the greatest startup ecosystems in the world.

Key Facts About Boston Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 269,000; 9.4% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Thermo Fisher Scientific, Toast, Klaviyo, HubSpot, DraftKings
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, biotechnology, robotics, software, aerospace
  • Funding Landscape: $15.7 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Summit Partners, Volition Capital, Bain Capital Ventures, MassVentures, Highland Capital Partners
  • Research Centers and Universities: MIT, Harvard University, Boston College, Tufts University, Boston University, Northeastern University, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, National Bureau of Economic Research, Broad Institute, Lowell Center for Space Science & Technology, National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories
