Embedded Systems Engineer

Overview

Avok runs from the cloud to the edge — including places with no network, extreme conditions, and unforgiving latency. As an Embedded Systems Engineer you’ll build the edge software that keeps our fusion and decision-support capability working when the link drops. This is a software role: you write the code that turns edge compute into a node of the Avok platform.

What you’ll do

• Build and optimize edge software services that run on resource-constrained compute in the field.
• Implement real-time data ingestion and processing that degrades gracefully when disconnected.
• Run inference and analytics on-device; manage storage, sync, and resilience at the edge.
• Profile and harden for performance, memory, power, and reliability.
• Package and deploy software to edge and air-gapped environments securely.

What we’re looking for

• Strong systems programming in C, C++, and/or Rust on Linux.
• Experience with embedded/edge software, real-time constraints, or low-level performance work.
• Comfort with networking, IPC, and building for unreliable, low-bandwidth conditions.
• Eligible for Canadian Government security clearance.

Nice to have

• Edge AI/ML inference, signal/data processing, or robotics middleware (software).
• Familiarity with secure boot, OTA/update mechanisms, or constrained-device security.

Why Avok

You’ll work on mission-driven technology that helps Canada see, understand, and decide — alongside a small, senior team, on problems that matter. This is an on-site role in Toronto. Many roles require eligibility for Canadian Government security clearance and compliance with the Controlled Goods Program.
