Entry-Level Embedded Developer

DPS is expanding its product offerings and seeking hardware and firmware developers with a history of seeing projects through - whether hobbyist builds or professional work. We prioritize real-world experience and the ability to finish what you start over formal training.

If you're a hands-on learner, thrive under tight schedules, and are motivated by a mission to deliver exceptional client results, we're ready to mentor you further. Show us your dedication to project completion and your drive to succeed!

What you'll build & do:

• Design and debug bare-metal C/C++ firmware plus quick Python utilities for production tests.
• Prototype hardware interfaces (SPI, I²C, Ethernet, PoE) on devel boards, then migrate to custom PCBs.
• Pair with our PCB designers and front-end web devs to ship fully functional designs.
• Work on exciting projects. A high-mix, low-volume product line means that we have lots of mission-critical projects to develop for interesting clients.
• Work on teams that are led by the CEO, a founder of several companies, who considers what we do to be as much "play" as it is "saving the world".

You might be a fit if...

• You know how to code without ChatGPT (no "vibe coding").
• You've shipped a garage project, hacked a 3-D printer, or soldered your own IoT board (real results beat fancy diplomas here).
• You can read schematics, want to learn to do PCB design, and have at least played with 3D printing.
• You're mission-focused so that you commit the energy, brainpower, and focus to complete projects in a timely manner and help clients to be successful deploying those projects.
• You thrive on deadlines and get a kick out of seeing customers install what you built.
• You're willing to invest the extra time (paid overtime) that turns "good" into "great."

Compensation & growth:

• Pay rises with hours × accomplishment (no fixed salary ceiling).
• We want a team who joins us, stays with us, grows with us, and wins with us!
• Quarterly bonuses and rapid promotion for those who master new skills.
• Health, vision, dental after 90 days. 401(k) match after a year.

How to apply:

If all of this sounds right for you, apply now. Short-listed candidates conduct their final interview with our CEO.
