About the Project
We’re developing a standalone, battery-powered outdoor device featuring an ESP32 and camera module (controlled via ESP32 or direct UART/SPI commands).
The goal: build a stable, resilient cellular connection to our server and ensure reliable image capture and transfer — all under strict low-power constraints.
What You'll Do
- Develop firmware for the ESP32 microcontroller to manage system modules.
- Implement camera control and capture pipelines, ensuring robust image handling.
- Build a battery-aware upload pipeline with efficient sleep/wake policies.
- Manage storage durability (wear leveling, quotas) and system watchdogs.
- Integrate structured logging and field diagnostics for remote monitoring.
- Collaborate closely with the hardware and FPGA teams to refine system performance.
Must-Have Experience
- Strong proficiency in C for microcontrollers (ESP32 / ESP-IDF / STM32).
- Hands-on experience with RTOS environments.
- Deep understanding of MIPI camera modules (sensor init, capture pipeline, trigger/stream via ESP or direct commands, basic image buffering/storage).
- Proficiency with UART/SPI, GPIO, interrupts, and watchdogs.
- Experience integrating FPGA with microcontrollers and peripheral systems.
Nice to have
- Python or Shell scripting for build/test automation and log parsing.
- Experience with Quectel or SIMCom cellular modems.
- Familiarity with MQTT/HTTP(S) protocols, telemetry, remote diagnostics, and A/B OTA updates.
- Basic image compression/formatting and fail-safe upload queue implementation skills.
