Join a high-performing, tight-knit team at a fast-growing company that is using the Internet of Things (IOT) to transform how organizations sense, monitor, and make decisions. Founded out of MIT in 2005, SmartSense is trusted by more than 2,000 organizations, including Walmart, SpaceX, Apple, CVS Health, Coca-Cola, and the US State Department to help them make sensor-driven decisions. We have a solution that our customers rely on every day to make mission critical decisions; we are looking for team-oriented change agents to help shape the future of IOT.

Disproportionately impact a customer-driven startup that is transforming the way companies monitor their critical environments and make decisions about safeguarding their key assets. We’re building next-generation IoT products and infrastructure that helps companies measure their world, transmit their valuable metrics to a centralized location, alert when there is something to be concerned about and even predict key events before they happen.

Dive into an empowered electrical engineering role. You’ll use all of your varied skills (electrical, firmware, mechanical) to enhance our existing products and help design our next generation of IoT devices. This is an opportunity to design, produce, and deploy custom hardware and firmware across the globe. You will create the cutting-edge sensors, embedded systems, and wireless sensor networks that enable SmartSense to succeed. You will be responsible for everything from high level design specifications, to circuit design, to board layout, to protocol definitions, to firmware development, to RF characterization, to real-world testing. This is an opportunity to take professional ownership of your work, from ideation to deployment. Choose when to hack and when to invest. You’ll apply judgment to where we can get the most benefit for our efforts.

SmartSense is an incredibly fast paced customer-driven company and you’ll be performing key role essential to our future success. Our close-knit, cross-functional team is a great chance to grow your knowledge across all layers of our system.

You’ll join a team where everyone—including you—is knowledgeable about engineering patterns, an excellent teammate and opinionated about the product development process. We all pitch in to help wherever necessary when things are crazy. You’ll be challenged to learn new skills and tools, and you’ll be encouraged to expand your professional comfort zone.
