My team makes the software that simulates autonomous vehicle on road in millions of virtual scenarios in order to measure their safety and performance. We specialize in simulating the physical processes involved in road-vehicle dynamics which allow motion planning, control, safety, and test engineers to design, verify, and validate changes to autonomy software without needing a physical vehicle on the road. We are a key part of Aurora’s safety culture.

Canopy builds the real-time coordination layer for hospitals: communication, safety, location intelligence, and response across large, complex care environments. Every hospital is a logistics problem wrapped around a clinical one. When a building can sense itself in real time, the gap between an event and the right person arriving goes from minutes to seconds. People are safer, care arrives faster, and hospitals and clinics get a path to modernize on the infrastructure they already run. Sensing is the foundation. You'd build our next-generation sensing and ML pipeline (the “physical full stack”), from sensors and embedded firmware through edge algorithms to the backend and frontend services. Physics-based modeling for sensing problems that traditional IoT products can’t solve, in devices that have to survive harsh environments. We care deeply about hardware-in-the-loop platforms, simulations, and internal tools. Ideal candidates have shipped production features on both sides of the hardware/software line. What we’ve deployed recently: TypeScript, WASM, Rust, C, Python, RTOS (Zephyr, FreeRTOS), embedded Linux. Apply: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/canopyworks/jobs/4317128009 AND email hn <at> (company domain) about a real-world sensor that broke your prior assumptions: what you expected, what the data actually did, and what you changed.

We use light to control how living cells produce therapeutic proteins — optogenetic cell engineering, custom illumination hardware, and real-time ML bioprocess control — to drive down cost and scale up production of next-generation therapies. With technology scaling from the lab to biomanufacturing, we’re hiring a foundational software engineer to build the platform tying together hardware, firmware, cloud, and internal tooling. High ownership over architecture and direction. This is a systems role across the hardware/software boundary (not web/SaaS), working directly with embedded, mechanical, data, and bioprocess engineers. Looking for: strong systems thinking; Python + one of TypeScript/Go/Rust; cloud-connected services; comfort interfacing and debugging software against hardware (serial, TCP/IP); Linux. Bonus: Industrial IoT (MQTT Sparkplug B, OPC UA, SCADA/MES), regulated-industry data integrity (21 CFR Part 11, GAMP 5), or embedded C/C++.
