Embedded Systems Developer with Hardware and AI Integration (Remote Contract)

(Remote – Contract through Art+Logic)

Join us to solve real problems with real people, in a remote-first, flexible, challenge-rich environment.

Art+Logic is looking for developers to collaborate on a project to design and develop a product that blends hardware control, real-time video processing, and on-device AI.

This is a long-term contract through Art+Logic, and may lead to other interesting, custom software projects.

🧠 About the Work

You'll help design and implement the full software stack running on an NVIDIA Jetson–based embedded platform—driving camera hardware, managing video streaming and overlays, coordinating with an operator tablet, and generating AI-assisted reports.

The project spans hardware integration, low-level performance optimization, secure system design, structured data capture, and thoughtful architecture that supports future AI-assisted features.

🧩 About You

You are an experienced engineer who enjoys:

• Working close to hardware
• Designing clean, extensible architectures
• Building reliable systems for real-world environments
• Collaborating with a small team and taking ownership of complex domains
  
  

You communicate clearly, work independently, make sound technical decisions, and thrive on solving challenging, multidisciplinary problems.

🧾 Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in embedded or systems development
• Expertise with Linux on embedded devices (Ubuntu, Yocto, or similar)
• Strong experience with C++ and/or Python for hardware-level development
• Familiarity with video pipelines, GStreamer, and hardware encoders
• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms
• Understanding of RTSP, subtitle/overlay systems, and containerized services
• Experience with security fundamentals (Secure Boot, disk encryption)
• Bonus: experience with small-model LLM inference or fine-tuning
• Bonus: experience designing tablet–device communication workflows

🧪 How We Hire

We believe in evaluating real skills—not résumés.

Every applicant completes a small asynchronous programming challenge that reflects the kind of work we do. No whiteboarding, no interviews until you've had a chance to show us what you can really do, and up to two weeks to complete it.

If you pass the challenge and match our culture and technical standards, we'll look for the right opportunity to bring you onto active client work.

⚠️ Important

To be considered, you must acknowledge the stated rate range ($35–$45 USD/hour) when submitting your application using the dropdown control at the bottom of the application form. Applications missing this acknowledgment will be rejected.
