KO2 is partnering with a fast-growing, well-funded tech startup building next-generation sensing and monitoring systems.

This is a rare opportunity to join early and shape cutting-edge products combining low-power embedded systems, RF technology, intelligent signal processing, and secure wireless connectivity.

What you’ll be doing:

• Developing low-power embedded firmware (C/C++)
• Designing RF communication systems (LoRa / LPWAN / mesh)
• Building real-time sensor data and signal processing pipelines
• Implementing embedded cybersecurity (encryption, secure boot, OTA)
• Deploying ML models on constrained devices

What we’re looking for:

• Strong embedded C/C++ experience
• Proven delivery across the full product lifecycle
• Low-power system design expertise
• RF technology experience (LoRa or similar)
• Embedded cybersecurity knowledge
• Solid debugging and hardware bring-up skills

Nice to have:

• ML for acoustic detection
• MEMS microphone systems
• Noise mitigation techniques
• Startup or high-growth experience
