The Embedded C++ Software Engineer will develop and optimize real-time applications for mission data processing, collaborating with architects and engineers to enhance remote sensing capabilities.

The Embedded Software Engineer will develop high-performance C++ applications for real-time mission data processing, optimize signal processing, and collaborate on low SWaP solutions in remote sensing.

Develop and maintain embedded Rust drivers, system-level APIs, and communication layers; integrate software with FPGA and hardware teams; support frontend tooling and UIs; write well-tested documentation, participate in code reviews, and collaborate across hardware, firmware, and application teams.

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

Design, develop, integrate, and test embedded software for mission- and safety-critical aerospace and defense systems. Work with RTOS integration, debug on target hardware, maintain full software lifecycle, collaborate with cross-site teams, and support CI/CD workflows while holding an active Secret clearance.

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.

The Principal Engineer will develop safety-critical software and test infrastructure for autonomous vehicle systems, ensuring high quality and scalability while collaborating with other teams.

Design and deliver safety-critical embedded and system test infrastructure. Develop and maintain embedded C/C++ software, automated characterization/calibration, HIL test cases, and CI/CD integration. Triage issues, perform root-cause analysis, coordinate with hardware and safety teams, support deployment and maintenance, mentor team members, and contribute to system safety and scalability for autonomous vehicle fleets.

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will design and verify embedded software for avionics in Lunar vehicles, collaborate with hardware engineers, and utilize advanced tools for debugging and performance analysis.

Design, develop, port, and maintain embedded Linux applications, device drivers, boot loaders, and Yocto-based images. Integrate and configure Linux kernel and U-Boot, manage Yocto builds in CI/CD, package deployable images, troubleshoot hardware-software interactions, collaborate across teams, and support qualification, testing, and customer-facing design reviews.

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.

Design, implement, test, and validate flight and mission software for satellites and ground systems. Develop Linux-based satellite OS and embedded code, perform software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing, integrate subsystems, support QA, perform root-cause analysis and in-orbit support, mentor engineers, and interface with hardware and third-party/open-source software.
