Salary Range - $125 – 155,000

About The Role

As a Software Engineer, you’ll design, develop, and optimize software that powers our advanced communication products. You’ll work closely with teams across R&D, testing, manufacturing, and customer support to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions.

This hands-on role suits a highly organized, technically strong engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and collaborating in a fast-paced environment. You’ll contribute to every stage of development—from concept to production—helping shape the next generation of embedded systems.

Key Deliverables Will Include

  • Collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver embedded software solutions.
  • Engaging directly with customers to clarify requirements and provide updates.
  • Defining embedded system architectures and software interfaces.
  • Developing software for embedded Linux, Windows and Android platforms.
  • Participating in design reviews and supporting application testing and prototype evaluations.
  • Creating and executing software test plans and documenting results.
  • Performing additional engineering tasks as required to support project goals.

About You

You’re a mid-level software engineer with a bachelor’s degree in electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering (or a related field) and experience developing software for embedded and/or enterprise systems. You thrive in hands-on, collaborative environments and bring strong technical expertise in Linux systems and embedded architectures, with a passion for building robust, high-performance solutions. You take ownership of your work, communicate clearly, and are driven to deliver secure, reliable, and efficient software solutions. You work well under pressure, approach challenges analytically, and maintain a strong commitment to quality and continuous improvement.

Knowledge & Experience

  • Expertise in Linux development (web server applications, containers, virtual machines, general application programming)
  • Strong understanding of networking and routing (Ethernet, IP, VLANs, bridging).
  • Experience optimizing systems for power efficiency and performance.
  • Skilled in software debugging and version control processes.
  • Familiar with Linux hardening, STIG/SCAP compliance, and release management.
  • Desirable experience with:
    • Docker and containerization
    • NVIDIA Jetson Orin
    • AI or Android development
    • Certificate management and cryptography
    • Offline (detached) deployment
    • CI/CD automation
    • Python and Bash scripting
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office applications.
Within the Kagwerks business we recognise and respect the need for flexible working arrangements, however due to the high touch, team engagement nature of this role, it will need to predominantly be based on site at our Vancouver, WA facilities, with work-from-home arrangements available by agreement.

Benefits And Culture

Our culture is supportive and collaborative. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team where we share our ideas and innovation is strongly encouraged. We are looking for someone with genuine passion and a can-do attitude for what they do. Our staff receive 15 days accrued paid time off per year, 10 Federal holidays plus an additional 2 floating holidays, an opportunity to join our sponsored health and welfare plan, a generous 401k plan with matching employer contribution, an Employee Assistance Program, and more. Additionally, we offer flexible core working hours and we take a personal approach to training and development.
