Description
About us:
We believe there is a strong need for new technological solutions in the defense of free people in conflicts around the world. Our team comprises experienced leaders from non-defense Silicon Valley startups who have seen this need first-hand and are committed to delivering.
We are focused on pushing real products into the field as quickly as possible, and we’re looking for a flexible Embedded Linux Engineer with a background in rapidly prototyping, hardening, and delivering compute platforms into medium-volume products.
The ideal candidate has experience working with distributed robotic systems or similar products combining multiple computing platforms with real-time sensing and control requirements.
They will be comfortable working across the stack — from microcontrollers to user applications — and collaborating with teams building application software, avionics, sensors, and comms.
Responsibilities
Design, develop and debug software for high-performance distributed embedded systems, ranging from embedded microcontrollers to user-facing applications.
Support evaluation, distribution and field operation of rapidly evolving hardware and software, working closely with multi-disciplinary software teams, flight test teams, customers, and technical support organizations.
Rapidly diagnose and root cause issues and develop effective and maintainable solutions.
Lead software initiatives to improve performance and effectiveness systemwide.
Requirements
BS in CS/EE/CE or equivalent practical experience.
3+ years of experience in embedded Linux development.
Strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python, and software engineering tooling such as CMake and git.
Familiar with modern linux system administration tooling, monitoring, and network configuration and diagnostics.
Knowledge of common paradigms for messaging, telemetry and data serialization used for real-time/robotic applications.
Background in developing and shipping electromechanical or robotic products at moderate to large volumes.
Experience validating and testing systems in environments where failure has consequences beyond downtime.
Nice to Have
Experience engineering compute platforms for flight vehicles (drones, UAVs, aircraft).
Experience with RF or comms systems (e.g., 802.11, long-range LOS/BLOS).
Experience with ROS, ZeroMQ, Protobuf, gRPC or similar middleware stacks.
Experience delivering software into regulated or mission-critical environments.
Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms and Jetpack SDK.
Rust programming experience.
We offer:
Work in a dynamic and engaging work environment.
Have opportunities to work on an innovative and impactful product.
Work with a senior-level team
Full-time position & official employment
Competitive salary (level to be discussed individually based on interview results)
Exciting work environment in a dynamic team
Exemption from mobilization
