We’re a start-up company, we are building a local-AI camera OS that replaces cloud CCTV: SigmaStar cameras → RTSP/ONVIF → HDMI node → on-device AI (offline-first).

1. Hiring: OS / Device Lifecycle Engineer (Secure Boot / OTA / Identity) (Remote, UK/EU preferred)

We already run RTSP + inference. Now we need the person who owns several year device reality.

You will own (single layer ownership): Secure boot / trust chain (ROM → U-Boot → kernel → rootfs) OTA updates + rollback strategy (A/B, recovery modes) Device identity & lifecycle (provisioning, key rotation) Failure recovery (power loss, corrupted SD, watchdogs)

You must be able to answer directly: SD vs eMMC vs NVMe tradeoffs + corruption mitigation Brown-out behavior, thermal throttling, BSP maturity Camera ISP/NPU concurrency constraints + vendor SDK realities

2. Hiring: Independent Embedded/Firmware Engineer (Bring-up Audit & Stability) (Remote UK/EU preferred)

We’re shipping on real hardware. Reliability beats elegance. We need a senior embedded engineer to audit and validate our assumptions and prevent single-point-of-failure risk.

You will own: Independent review of firmware/bring-up assumptions Validation of performance, thermals, power behavior, stability Reproducible test plans (what breaks, how to detect, how to recover) Documentation that prevents knowledge living in one head

If you’ve shipped embedded systems that survive ugly reality (packet loss, unplugging, thermal throttling, storage corruption), we want to talk.

Senior Embedded Linux / Device OS Engineer

Hi,We’re a start-up company based in London and building building a privacy-first, offline-first edge AI platform that runs on real devices (camera boards, HDMI sticks, edge nodes).We need a Senior Embedded Linux / Device OS Engineer to own the device OS end-to-end (bootloader → kernel → userspace), including Yocto/Buildroot, secure boot & device identity at OS level, OTA with...

Hiring: Embedded Linux / Video / Edge AI Engineers (Remote)

We’re building a local-AI camera OS: SigmaStar cameras → RTSP → HDMI Node → on-device AI → zero cloud.

Think Android for CCTV, not another mobile app.

We need engineers who know: • Linux video pipelines (V4L2, GStreamer, FFmpeg) • RTSP / ONVIF • Edge AI (YOLO, NCNN, TFLite, OpenVINO)

This is founder-level work — small team, big system.
