Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded SoftwareLos Angeles, CAFull-timeHybrid

Develop flight-grade embedded software for autonomous systems, with rigor appropriate to safety-critical functions.

Overview

You will write the embedded software that runs on our vehicles and habitats — the layer between hardware and autonomy. Rigor matters: much of this code is safety-relevant and must behave predictably in conditions we cannot directly observe.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain embedded firmware across our hardware platforms
  • Implement safe, deterministic drivers and control loops
  • Define and maintain build, test, and release processes for embedded code
  • Work with hardware engineers through bring-up and integration

Requirements

  • Strong C/C++ on resource-constrained MCUs and SoCs
  • Experience with RTOS, drivers, and hardware bring-up
  • Familiarity with safety-critical and deterministic software practices
  • CS/CE/EE degree or equivalent

Nice to have

  • Experience with formal methods or MISRA-style guidelines
  • Prior aerospace or safety-critical embedded systems
  • Real-time communications (CAN, Ethernet, custom links)
