Embedded Software Engineer

Melbourne, United States | Posted on 06/26/2026 We are seeking a highly experienced Embedded SoftwareEngineer to design and deliver real‑time software for autonomous systems operating in constrained, mission‑critical environments. You will be a key individual contributor shaping the architecture and guiding development on autonomous systems. The role brings together hands‑on C++ development, real‑time and embedded systems expertise, and ownership of software architecture, with direct exposure to autonomy, navigation, and AI‑enabled systems. It is designed for someone who is comfortable operating both as a strong individual contributor and as a technical leader shaping complex system behavior. Key Responsibilities Develop real‑time embedded software in C++ Architect scalable software for autonomous platforms Build navigation, control, autonomy, and AI/ML capabilities for edge systems Work across hardware interfaces, middleware, and application logic Collaborate cross‑functionally to deliver integrated system functionality Own architecture decisions around interfaces, data flow, and system constraints Optimize performance and improve embedded development processes Requirements Required Qualifications 8+ years of experience in embedded software development Strong command of modern C++ Experience with RTOS environments such as VxWorks, RTEMS, or embedded Linux Deep understanding of concurrency, synchronization, memory management in constrained systems, and deterministic real‑time performance Strength in software architecture and system design Familiarity with embedded debugging and diagnostic tools, including JTAG and trace Experience integrating software with custom hardware and SoCs Preferred Qualifications Experience with autonomous systems across marine, aerospace, robotics, or ground platforms Familiarity with ROS, NASA cFS, or similar autonomy frameworks Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts for embedded systems, including edge inference, sensor fusion, and perception or decision‑making Experience with GNC algorithms Knowledge of communications protocols such as UDP/TCP, CAN, serial, and DDS Experience in safety‑critical or high‑reliability systems Domain familiarity with unmanned systems, space or satellite platforms, defense/C5ISR environments, or real‑time edge autonomy #J-18808-Ljbffr
