Embedded systems engineer, firmware development

This position provides a chance to be part of an early-stage, venture-backed startup and see the immediate impact of your contributions. In our tight-knit team environment, you will have ownership over critical projects while receiving mentorship from experienced engineers. This opportunity will expand your professional network within the Chicago tech community and enhance your understanding of startup dynamics. I am looking for someone who thrives on taking initiative and ownership of their work, possesses strong communication and organizational skills, and exhibits logical reasoning. A desire to work in a fast-paced startup environment and excel with minimal guidance is essential. A great work ethic and a positive “get things done” attitude are crucial, as is a passion for nutrition, wellness, and healthy living—bonus points if you enjoy smoothies! In return, we offer you the opportunity to manage vital systems at a high-growth startup, tackle hands-on, real-world challenges in robotics, automation, and food tech, collaborate closely with a dedicated team, competitive compensation and equity, and assist in developing an on-site, hardware-rich environment for lab work and prototyping. At Zenblen, we provide freshly blended smoothies through an innovative robotic smoothie bar, and we are committed to making healthy nutrition more accessible. As a proud participant in prestigious programs like Chicago Booth’s New Venture Challenge, we’ve built a network of expert investors and advisors focused on our mission: to revolutionize the smoothie experience and promote healthy living. In our early-stage startup culture, every team member shapes our values and ethos. We empower individuals with ownership and the chance to pursue meaningful projects, whether it’s engaging with local communities or promoting health and wellness initiatives. Join us to be a part of a motivated team aligned with our mission, where we support one another to achieve the best results while enjoying our work and each other’s company.
