Job Description
About TRUCE Software TRUCE Software is the leading provider of workplace and fleet safety solutions. Our software automatically manages mobile device usage, helping organizations reduce distractions, improve compliance, and create safer workplaces.
About the Role We are expanding our Baton Rouge engineering team to support development of next-generation TRUCE products, including a custom dash camera platform. This role is ideal for an embedded engineer who enjoys working close to hardware and defining systems from the ground up. Because this position involves hands-on board bring-up, hardware debugging, and lab-based validation, regular in-office collaboration is expected. Remote flexibility is available when lab presence is not required.
You will work across embedded firmware, wireless communication (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), camera systems, and on-device machine learning while owning firmware quality, validation strategy, and long-term reliability.
What You'll Work On - Design and implement embedded firmware for custom dash camera platforms
- Develop multimedia pipelines including RTSP streaming and SD card storage
- Integrate and configure camera sensors for capture and tuning
- Develop and maintain wireless communication (Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Aware/NAN, Bluetooth)
- Enable execution of pretrained ML inference models on embedded hardware
- Optimize firmware for performance, memory, power, and long-duration stability
- Bring up and debug new hardware in collaboration with the electrical engineering team
- Contribute to firmware architecture and long-term platform strategy
Validation & Testing Ownership - Develop structured test plans and detailed test cases
- Execute system-level validation across video, storage, wireless, and ML subsystems
- Build automated regression and test tooling (Python or similar)
- Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or bench-level test environments
- Support manufacturing test and production firmware validation
- Investigate field failures and implement corrective actions
Why This Role - Own firmware for a new hardware platform from early development through production
- Direct access to hardware labs for rapid iteration
- Work on a product combining embedded systems, video, wireless, and ML
- Influence architecture and validation strategy early
- Small, high-impact engineering team
- Real-world safety product with measurable impact
Requirements
Required Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
- Professional experience developing embedded firmware in C/C++
- Experience with real-time or resource-constrained systems
- Experience interfacing with hardware peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.)
- Strong debugging skills at the firmware / hardware boundary
- Experience developing structured test plans and system-level validation
- Ability to work onsite in Baton Rouge on a regular basis
Preferred Experience - Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth experience in embedded systems
- RTSP, video streaming, or multimedia pipeline experience
- Camera module or image sensor integration
- SD card interfaces and embedded file systems
- Machine-learning inference deployment on embedded devices
- RTOS or bare-metal systems
- Python for tooling, automation, or testing
- Experience supporting product validation or manufacturing test
*Must be available for in-person interviews.
