Job description

Software Engineering Lead – Embedded Systems

Maple Grove, MN (100% Onsite)

Long-Term Contract + Benefits

$73.96/hr

9/80 Work Schedule (Every Other Friday Off)

Lead. Build. Deliver.

We're looking for a Software Engineering Lead to drive the development of cutting-edge embedded systems in a highly collaborative, program-driven environment. This role offers the best of both worlds—hands-on engineering (60%) combined with technical leadership (40%)—giving you direct impact on both the product and the team.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments where technical excellence meets real-world application, this is an opportunity to lead meaningful programs from concept through deployment.

Why This Role?
  • High-impact leadership role with hands-on engineering
  • Long-term stability with competitive pay and benefits
  • Every other Friday off with a 9/80 schedule
  • Opportunity to work on complex, mission-critical systems
  • Collaborative, innovation-driven engineering environment
What You'll Do Technical Leadership & Development
  • Lead embedded software development across the full lifecycle—from requirements to system validation
  • Design, develop, and implement C++-based embedded solutions in real-time environments
  • Oversee internal teams and external partners to ensure high-quality deliverables
  • Drive architecture, integration, and performance optimization efforts
  • Contribute to major program milestones including design and test reviews
Program Ownership
  • Plan, estimate, and manage software deliverables, timelines, and resources
  • Track performance across technical scope, cost, and schedule
  • Support Earned Value Management (EVM) activities and reporting
  • Proactively identify risks and implement mitigation strategies
Quality, Verification & Compliance
  • Lead software testing, debugging, and system validation efforts
  • Ensure adherence to software quality, safety, and configuration management standards
  • Partner with safety teams to support safety-critical system requirements
Collaboration & Leadership
  • Work cross-functionally with systems, architecture, and program teams
  • Communicate program status, risks, and technical insights to leadership and stakeholders
  • Mentor engineers and help build a high-performing, collaborative team environment
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 6+ years of experience in embedded software development
  • Strong expertise in C++ and object-oriented design
  • Experience with real-time systems (RTOS or bare-metal)
  • Proven ability to lead technical efforts or small teams
  • Strong communication skills and ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Ability to obtain a US Secret Security Clearance
Preferred
  • Experience with Earned Value Management (EVMS)
  • Knowledge of Ethernet communications and modern embedded architectures
  • Familiarity with CMMI or similar frameworks
  • Cybersecurity experience (RMF, ATO processes)
  • Background in defense, aerospace, or complex systems (vehicle platforms, etc.)
  • Active Secret Clearance

EOE, including Disability/Veterans.
