Sr Embedded Software Engineer

We are seeking a highly experienced Embedded Software Engineer 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
  

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
