Senior Embedded Software Engineer
Develops flight-critical embedded software for solar-powered stratospheric aircraft, owning subsystems from architecture to flight validation. Requires 2+ years in high-reliability embedded systems, strong C/C++, RTOS/bare-metal experience, and hardware interfacing skills.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship flight-critical embedded software for long-endurance stratospheric aircraft
- Own embedded subsystems end to end: architecture, implementation, bring-up, debugging, test, and flight validation
- Write firmware for MCU-based avionics, sensors, actuators, power systems, and comms interfaces
- Integrate sensors and peripherals (IMU, GNSS, air data, magnetometer, servos, radios) and build reliable drivers and middleware
- Design robust telemetry, logging, and health monitoring to support long-duration autonomous operations
- Build test harnesses, HIL hooks, and automation that makes iteration loops faster
- Support integration, production bring-up, and flight ops in the desert
Requirements
- 2+ years shipping real embedded systems (aerospace, robotics, automotive, defense, or similarly high-reliability domains)
- Strong C/C++ fundamentals and comfort working close to hardware
- Experience with RTOS or bare-metal firmware, interrupts, timing, and deterministic systems
- Experience with common embedded interfaces and protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet)
- Strong debugging skills using scopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and real-world fault reproduction
- Comfort moving fast, owning outcomes, and troubleshooting in the field
Compensation
- US salary range: $120,000 - $220,000 USD
- Highly competitive equity grants
- Top market salary and bonuses
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Daily lunch
- Dream desk setup
