Senior Software Engineer, Embedded Systems

• Embedded firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs in a bare-metal and/or RTOS environment (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar)

• Driver development, peripheral integration, and board bring-up for custom hardware platforms

• Real-time control loops and sensor fusion pipelines where timing and determinism are non-negotiable

• Hardware debugging: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and willingness to get comfortable with a schematic

• C++ and Python tooling for testing, scripting, and automation around embedded targets

• Development of models and emulators for aircraft components to ensure hardware behavior is faithfully represented in our cloud simulation framework

You probably have:

• 5+ years of professional embedded software development, with production firmware shipped on real hardware

• Deep fluency in C and/or C++; Python for scripting and test tooling

• Hands-on experience with at least one RTOS and with bare-metal development

• Comfort reading schematics, using bench instruments, and debugging hardware/software integration issues at the signal level

• Experience with communications protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet

• Strong opinions about code quality, testability, and the difference between software that works in the lab and software that works in the field

It’s a bonus if you have:

• Experience in aerospace, defense, robotics, or other safety-critical domains

• Familiarity with DO-178, MISRA, or other embedded software standards

• Exposure to desktop tooling or visualization for hardware debug and test workflows

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for embedded targets (HIL, SIL, emulation)

• Primary languages: C++ and Python

• RTOS: FreeRTOS and bare-metal depending on target

• Toolchains: GCC/Clang cross-compilers, CMake, custom build infrastructure

• Version control and CI: Git, GitHub, cloud-based batch simulation and test runners

• Modern AI coding tools used as productivity accelerators, not as a substitute for engineering judgment
