The opportunity
At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive.
What you'll do
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of firmware engineers building embedded: software across Lyft's micromobility product line — e-bikes, scooters, batteries, docks, and charging infrastructure
Set technical direction and architecture for core firmware systems: IoT, powertrain, battery management, and docking/charging infrastructure — including safety-critical fault handling
Own the OTA update and fleet operations strategy: secure, staged rollout pipelines, remote diagnostics, and field recovery mechanisms that reduce on-site service visits and fleet downtime across a globally distributed fleet
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders: hardware, software, product, data science, manufacturing, operations, and compliance teams — to prototype, develop, and ship the next generation of world-class mobility products
Own team planning: roadmapping, sprint/release planning, staffing, hiring, and performance management, translating ambiguous product needs into clear, actionable schedules and deliverables
Drive continuous improvement of existing fielded products, prioritizing: reliability, safety, and rider/operator experience
What they're looking for
- Represent the firmware team in regulatory and safety certification efforts: (e.g., UL 2849/2271, EN 18031, and RED/CRA), ensuring firmware practices meet applicable standards
- Build and maintain engineering rigor: CI/CD pipelines, automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, code review standards, and on-call/incident response processes for fielded fleets
- Communicate technical risk, tradeoffs, and progress clearly to both: engineering peers and non-technical stakeholders and leadership
- Support career development of direct reports and contribute to broader: engineering org initiatives (technical ladders, succession planning, cross-team standards)
