We're Hiring: Embedded System Engineer
Full time | Core team
LAT Aerospace | Cross Program
LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.
The Embedded Systems Engineer is a cross-program role spanning drivers, hardware interfaces, real-time systems, control logic, communications, and application-level firmware. You will work closely with PCB, electrical, and controls engineers to take embedded systems from first prototype through testing and deployment.
What you’ll do
Develop firmware across multiple layers, from low-level drivers and hardware abstraction to application and control logic.
Develop real-time embedded software for microcontrollers and embedded processors.
Build drivers and interfaces for sensors, actuators, ADCs, DACs, timers, communication peripherals, and other hardware.
Implement communication protocols including CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485, Ethernet, and other interfaces.
Develop embedded control, monitoring, data logging, diagnostics, and fault-handling systems.
Work closely with PCB engineers to define hardware–firmware interfaces and debug board-level issues.
Bring up new hardware, debug firmware, and validate complete embedded systems on the bench and in integrated test environments.
Develop automated test and hardware-in-the-loop environments where required.
Build robust software architectures with appropriate fault handling, watchdogs, diagnostics, and recovery mechanisms.
Maintain firmware architecture, documentation, version control, test procedures, and release processes.
What we’re looking for
3+ years of professional experience developing firmware for aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial, or other high-reliability systems is preferred.
Strong proficiency in C/C++ and embedded software development.
Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers such as STM32, TI, NXP, Microchip, or equivalent.
Hands-on experience debugging embedded systems using JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and other tools.
Strong understanding of firmware–hardware interaction and ability to debug issues across both layers.
Experience with embedded communication protocols such as CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, or equivalent.
Familiarity with DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160, ARP4754A, and ARP4761 or equivalent safety-critical development and verification practices.
Experience with requirements-driven development, traceability, configuration management, verification, and software/hardware validation is highly preferred.
Strong software engineering practices including code reviews, automated testing, and version control.
Why join LAT?
No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
Rapid hardware iteration culture.
Build systems that have to work reliably in the real world.

What We Do
Imagine a world where flying is as easy as taking a bus. A world where air travel isn't just for the major cities, but for everyone, everywhere. No more congested hubs, no more wasted hours in security lines—just seamless, affordable, on-demand flights connecting thousands of destinations that the world has ignored for too long. We are building the future of mass aviation: a network of high-frequency, low-cost, 8 seater, STOL (short take-off and landing), medium-haul aircraft that make every city, every town, and every community accessible—without compromise. Powered by next-generation aircraft, designed ground-up for efficiency, built for affordability, and future-proofed for autonomy, we are aiming to rewrite the rules of flight. Our aircraft will take off and land in compact "air-stops" no bigger than a parking lot—no baggage belts, no security bottlenecks—eliminating the need for complex, expensive airport infrastructure that regional air travel simply doesn't require. No more waiting. No more detours. No more being forced to drive when you should be able to fly. This isn't the impractical supersonic future of aviation as you are made to believe. This is the real future of aviation that our communities need. --------- We are hiring We’re building a next-gen aerospace company — from scratch. Our Aircraft team is leading the development of our 8-seater hybrid-electric aircraft, spanning design, prototyping, systems integration, testing, and everything in between. Our GTE team is focused on building a world-class gas turbine engine. We're especially looking for folks with experience in turbines, rotors, control systems, or anything close.
