Description
Fidus is a global high-tech design firm headquartered in Ottawa, with additional design centres in Kitchener-Waterloo and San Jose. We specialize in leading-edge electronic product development, with hardware, embedded software, FPGA/ASIC, and signal integrity teams working together to design and deliver next-generation products for clients in emerging technology markets.
Position Overview/Mandate:
Fidus engineers already build their own tools, and many now use AI. We are bringing that work onto one platform: a common place for agents that help with requirements, estimates, design reviews and project setup, all backed by a shared knowledge base.
You will build those agents and the interfaces around them. That means writing the code, connecting it to the systems our engineers use, and making it reliable enough that a busy designer trusts it. You will work day to day with our AI build lead, with the embedded software lead as domain owner. After the build, you move onto billable client projects with the embedded software team, so we are hiring for curiosity and range, not a narrow specialty.
The tools you build will become part of our designers' daily work. We are looking for someone who is excited about AI, uses it every day, and wants to understand how software works all the way down to the hardware. Our tools serve embedded designers, and you will spend time at the bench with them during the build. You do not need to know embedded yet. If you have built something with a microcontroller or a Raspberry Pi just to see if you could, we want to hear about it.
Make an Impact with US:
At Fidus, you'll work on high-speed, high-complexity electronic systems, often using emerging technologies before they reach the broader market. You'll collaborate across FPGA/DSP, hardware, embedded software, verification, SI/PI, PCB layout, and mechanical/thermal design as part of cross-functional teams delivering real products for our clients.
In practice, that means contributing to projects in areas such as space and satellite systems, next-generation communications and networking, high-performance compute and storage platforms, advanced video, imaging, VR/AR applications, and industrial, medical, and automotive systems. You won't be limited to a single product or industry—your work will follow the technology, not just one roadmap.
