Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Production

Crown Electrokinetics (Nasdaq: CRKN) is a smart glass technology company and the creator of DynamicTint - We Make Your Glass Smarter™. Originally invented by Hewlett-Packard (HP, Inc.), our technology allows any glass surface to transition between clear and dark in seconds, with applications to a wide array of windows, including commercial buildings, automotive sunroofs, and residential skylights. At the core of our technology is a thin film that is powered by electrically charged pigment which not only replaces common window tints but is also a more sustainable alternative to traditional window treatments. With its unique ability to be retrofitted to existing glass, DynamicTint™ offers a myriad of benefits related to reducing carbon emissions. The company is supported by a robust patent portfolio.

Crown is a culture-driven company that rewards initiative and allows for growth and autonomy. We encourage and reward free thinking. Deeply passionate about technology that helps the world reduce carbon emissions, we are an inclusive team that is looking to add skill sets in all areas of the Company.
