What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on building and integrating the software that runs directly on Echodyne's radar hardware, with a particular focus on how that on-device code connects to AWS cloud services. Day-to-day work involves developing edge middleware in Rust or C++, implementing secure device-to-cloud communication via AWS IoT Core and related services, and providing technical leadership to a small engineering team. It suits an experienced engineer comfortable operating across both embedded/edge and cloud-native environments.

Why we read it this way (6)
The JD does not explicitly name a city; Echodyne is headquartered in Kirkland, WA (Seattle metro). The role is described as full-time US-based with no remote language, so it is mapped to the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue CBSA.
Rust and C++ are presented as interchangeable options ('Rust or C++') for the core edge-development requirement; Rust is listed as the primary name with C++ as the alternative.
The AWS cloud services (Kinesis, S3, Lambda) are cited as examples within the required AWS expertise section ('e.g., Kinesis, S3, Lambda'), indicating familiarity with the AWS ecosystem is the hard gate; these specific services are retained as required given their placement under Required Experience.
Python is explicitly called out as 'a nice to have' and is marked accordingly as preferred.
The 3+ years figure comes from the leadership experience requirement ('3+ years in leadership'), which is the only explicit years figure in the posting; it is used as the overall years minimum. The overall engineering experience level implied is consistent with a Senior band.
The role involves export-controlled technology; applicants must be US Citizens, green card holders, or have asylum/refugee status — this is not a formal security clearance gate but is a notable eligibility constraint.
