Embedded Linux Engineer

Karman is a fast-growing NVIDIA-backed AI company enabling AI data centers to dynamically orchestrate power and unlock more compute capacity from existing energy infrastructure. For over a decade, we have applied AI to the electric grid, bringing real-time visibility and power-flow control to complex energy infrastructure. Our Karman platform, built on a custom NVIDIA module, brings that same capability to AI data centers, giving operators a way to better use the power already available to them.

Our team is seeking a talented and experienced Embedded Linux Engineer. As an Embedded Linux Engineer at Utilidata, you will be responsible for automating the infrastructure that improves the flashing and provisioning of IoT devices in the manufacturing process.
