Job Description

We are seeking a highly engaged mid-level Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. This role offers a fast-paced environment where you will take ownership of feature development and work with minimal supervision on critical projects. We are looking for individuals with strong technical fundamentals in low-level systems programming who are eager to learn our product deeply and play a key role in system integration. This position requires working primarily onsite with some hybrid flexibility.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop embedded software using C/C++ within constrained environments, defining technical approaches.
  • Implement state machines and handle asynchronous events (e.g., interrupts, signals).
  • Work with operating system concepts including process scheduling, resource sharing, and synchronization.
  • Integrate networking capabilities into embedded devices (basic IP/MAC layer knowledge required).

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

  • Experience: 3-5 years of professional experience in embedded systems development
  • Core OS Knowledge: Solid understanding of fundamental OS concepts (kernel vs. user space, task scheduling, memory management, and synchronization primitives).
  • Programming Languages: Proficiency in Python, C and/or C++, including object-oriented principles.
  • Networking Basics: Familiarity with networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, MAC addresses, packet inspection tools).
  • Autonomy: Demonstrated ability to solve problems independently.
  • Documentation: Proven track record of learning from specification documents and adapting to new protocols or standards.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with containerized Linux user space applications.
  • Exposure to Yocto or kernel driver development (not mandatory, but beneficial).
  • Experience with space networking technologies and standards.
  • DoD Secret clearance.
