Who we are:
At Glydways, we believe that mobility is a basic human right. Low-cost and ubiquitous access to affordable housing, employment, education, commerce and care lead to economic and social prosperity. As such our goal is to provide:
Public transit with the highest capacity, the best user experience, the lowest cost, and the lowest carbon footprint.
Our solution is a system of interconnected, profitable, and carbon footprint neutral transportation networks that uses standardized autonomous vehicles and a closed roadway. Together, they provide a 24/7 on-demand private mobility service without burdening the public with heavy upfront costs or annual system subsidies.
Meet the team:
The Network Platform team consists of a group of Network, RF, and software engineers responsible for the end-to-end communication system design for Glydways. The team owns the embedded systems that are responsible for providing secure, reliable, and diverse vehicle communications. We work together with the Software, Vehicle Hardware, and the Autonomy engineering teams to produce cutting edge products that unlock the future of transit systems. As an embedded engineer in the Network Platform team, you will be designing the systems that integrate technologies such as 5G cellular, WiFi, Ultra-wide band, GNSS, automotive Ethernet, and more.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Design, prototype, build, and test production embedded firmware.
- Evaluate, implement, test, and optimize applications on Linux and RTOS.
- Collaborate across multiple disciplines to deliver quality code, debug complex problems, prioritize and get things done with a high level of efficiency and urgency.
- Evaluate, design, and implement both existing and custom communication protocols between devices and between compute modules.
- Work with autonomy, hardware engineers, and software throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle - from device bring-up, to software deploy.
- Work with test engineers and platform engineers in developing testing frameworks at the unit, integration, and system levels.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
- Expert level knowledge of C or C++ programming; other languages and skills also valuable.
- Knowledge of OS internals (process scheduler, memory management, concurrency, synchronization, storage)
- Good debugging skills with an ability to work cross-functionally
- Good understanding of Linux and/or RTOS fundamentals, Board Support Pkgs, kernel configuration, device driver interfaces, debugging tools etc.
- Strong knowledge of communication protocols, from low level (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN) to high level (TCP/UDP)
- Experience with bootloaders
- Experience with security concepts such as SecureBoot and secure storage
- Experience with time synchronization protocols such as NTP and PTP
- Experience deploying firmware both remotely and over-the-air
- Familiarity with electronics test equipment and hardware debugging (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc)

What We Do
Glydways, Inc. is an American transportation technology and clean energy company based in South San Francisco, CA. The company specializes in the design, manufacture, installation and operation of affordable autonomous transportation for low, medium and extremely high capacity needs.
Founded in 2016 by engineer and entrepreneur Mark Seeger, the company was started with the goal of providing affordable mobility for communities across the world. This goal is founded in the belief that access to affordable housing, employment, education and care lead to economic and social prosperity, and the key to this equity is mobility for as many people as possible.
Lead by Gokul Hemmady who serves as CEO, the company’s core objectives are to provide a 24/7 mobility service solution that is environmentally net-negative in terms of greenhouse gas production (GHG), and, inherently profitable. GHG-negative is achieved through the invention and use of power-efficient technologies to reduce the watt-hours-per-person-per-unit-distance traveled, and, photovoltaics embedded into the infrastructure. Economic sustainability is achieved by designing for operational costs that are inherently lower than revenue collected when selling a ride. The key comes from decoupling the unit-costs from the utilization of the system, something that is not possible with existing public/mass transportation systems. By being financially sustainable, Glydways relieves municipalities of the vast annual subsidies required to operate existing solutions, which are inherently unprofitable and thereby a fiscal burden to public budgets. Further, the Glydways business model allows for private capitalization of entire systems.
Glydways provides the highest capacity, at the lowest cost, with the best user experience, and the lowest greenhouse gas footprint of any mobility solution, providing a personal, on-demand, and point-to-point journey with no stops between origin and destination
