Own subsystems end-to-end, integrate sensors and peripherals, develop drivers and middleware, build telemetry/logging/health monitoring, create test harnesses and HIL integration, debug with lab tools, and support integration, production bring-up, and flight operations in the field.

Develop real-time, fault-tolerant embedded firmware to control rocket and satellite actuators and motor-driven devices. Implement closed-loop control, interface with various sensors and communication protocols, design safety-critical state machines, support testing and hotfire campaigns, and produce unit-tested production firmware for spacecraft and testbeds.

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will develop software for MANET radios, focusing on networking protocols, encryption, and device drivers, while ensuring product security and performance testing.

Design and implement automated tests, frameworks, and fixtures for embedded hardware and software. Execute regression, performance, stress, and reliability tests. Build and maintain R&D and production test environments, collaborate to debug firmware and hardware, define testability in design reviews, support manufacturing partners, and enable customers onsite (10-20% travel).

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will architect and implement embedded software for metal 3D printing systems, ensuring high-speed autonomous operations and integration of hardware control, sensor data monitoring, and process automation.

Provides technical leadership for designing, developing, optimizing, porting, and certifying GPGPU and AI inference libraries built on Vulkan SC drivers. The role targets embedded GPU platforms such as Arm Mali and Intel, maintains AI model testing infrastructure, defines validation standards, supports customer deployments, and troubleshoots drivers. It also involves documentation, competitive analysis, cross-functional architecture decisions, mentoring, onboarding, and exploring emerging AI compute capabilities.

Develop and maintain embedded firmware and kernel/user-mode device drivers for Ethernet-based networking devices. Design, implement, test, and integrate drivers into a Linux and AUTOSAR communication stack, build SDK components, and create debug/test utilities and automated unit/system tests for safety-critical automotive applications.

This role involves implementing software for networking protocols, encryption, audio streaming, and Linux system customization. Requires extensive experience in embedded systems and C programming.

Design and implement embedded software for MANET radios, including MAC and routing protocols, device drivers, BSPs for ARM/RISC-V, networking, encryption/security, audio streaming, and test software. Customize Linux, develop kernel drivers and ISRs, improve product security to meet regulatory standards, and support R&D demonstrations and field testing.

Develop and architect embedded software for production-scale metal 3D printing systems. Implement machine instruction interfaces, high-speed data acquisition, sensor monitoring, computer vision integration, calibration, logging, and production automation. Collaborate with control, FPGA, and process engineers to integrate algorithms, write scalable maintainable code, unit test, deploy, and document systems for long-term factory operation.

Design and implement high-reliability embedded firmware for a satellite user terminal: low-level drivers, beamforming control, networking optimization, thermal and power management, secure boot/OTA, hardware debugging, and RTOS/Embedded Linux integration to enable real-time beam steering and high-throughput communications.

Develop and maintain embedded software for spacecraft systems, write hardware drivers, troubleshoot software issues, and collaborate with teams throughout the software lifecycle.

Optimize Ubuntu integration across latest IoT and server-class hardware, lead customer engagements, and work with open source communities in a remote, collaborative environment.

Serve as an embedded Linux expert on customer projects: design and refactor real-time architectures, develop Linux kernel drivers, debug low-level hardware/software issues, optimize kernel performance, collaborate with customers and internal teams, lead technical efforts, produce high-quality deliverables, and create technical proposals to support product lifecycle and certification.

Design and implement embedded firmware and low-level software for server BMCs and GPU/HPC platforms. Enhance OpenBMC, enable real-time telemetry of power/thermal sensors, debug low-level drivers and interfaces, validate hardware-firmware integration, and contribute to long-term firmware architecture for cluster reliability.

Lead design and implement guidance and navigation software for a clean-sheet airframe. Support airframe design, system integration on flight hardware, and real-time embedded development including low-level driver and firmware integration. Work on-site in Los Angeles as part of a small R&D engineering team using commercial autopilot frameworks and CI/Agile practices.
