As a Sr. Software Engineer in Embedded Systems, you will design, develop, and maintain embedded software for robotics products, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and solve complex engineering challenges.

Design, implement, and test on-device software controlling recording, sensors, storage, power, and reliability. Bring up and debug new boards and sensor drivers with EEs, prototype hardware/firmware solutions, own on-device APIs/protocols, and build firmware tooling, automation, and test infrastructure to scale devices into production.

Develop and maintain C/C++ test software and automated test stations for in-flight entertainment hardware. Design, debug, and deploy production test procedures and equipment integrations, troubleshoot hardware/software failures, support new product introduction, and improve manufacturing test processes and CI/CD practices while collaborating with cross-functional engineering and manufacturing teams.

Design, develop, test, and sustain embedded software/firmware for defense systems. Apply OOP (C++), scripting, and version-control practices to implement features, integrate on target hardware, and follow Model-Based Engineering, DevSecOps, and Agile/Waterfall lifecycles. Interface with customers, suppliers, and cross-functional teams; ensure secure, multi-threaded, and real-time system operation.

The role involves developing embedded software for medical devices, utilizing C and C++ across various stages of the SDLC.

Lead design and development of embedded software for connected heavy vehicles, including telematics, OTA updates, networking, video streaming, and vehicle integration. Provide technical leadership, establish architecture and best practices, drive Agile delivery, and perform hands-on vehicle validation and troubleshooting in manufacturing and field environments.

The role involves managing an embedded C/C++ software team's build and release process using Clearcase and migrating to Perforce/GIT, along with supporting development tools and infrastructure.

The Embedded Software Engineer designs, develops, tests, and supports embedded software systems for aerospace products, leads technical projects, mentors engineers, and ensures compliance with standards like DO-178.

The Embedded Software Engineer will develop algorithms, program DSP and MCU, write embedded software for real time systems, and perform integration and validation of algorithms.

The Embedded Software Engineer will design and implement software for ECG products, focusing on signal acquisition. Responsibilities include testing, collaboration using Scrum, and improving software efficiency.

This role leads architectural decisions in embedded systems, collaborates with stakeholders to define requirements, and manages the full software development life cycle for embedded software.

The Principal Embedded Software Engineer leads the development of complex embedded software for military and space applications, managing technical risks and providing expertise in real-time systems.

Develop and test flight software for the Blue Ring spacecraft, working on embedded systems and collaborating with cross-discipline teams.

As an Embedded Software Engineer at SpaceX, you will develop software for space-grade components, maintain OSS software, and support testing and integration with hardware.
