Job description

About the Team:

The Vehicle Software team develops the safety-critical software that runs on Terran R. The work spans a distributed, real-time control system operating under extreme conditions like Mach 5 atmospheric flight, with a deployment pace that allows you to see your code run on rocket engines daily. The team is building new system architecture from the ground up and just as importantly, testing, releasing, and deploying it. You don't need an aerospace background: what matters is experience with high-reliability software for complex systems. This is a rare opportunity to shape the foundation of Terran R's software stack while directly influencing performance, reliability, and flight success.

About the Role:

As an Embedded Linux Software Engineer you will be a key member of our embedded software team responsible for developing, testing, and documenting firmware that gets deployed to all avionics boxes throughout our rocket vehicles. In this role, you'll develop embedded Linux software for network switch and camera platforms, creating production-grade applications and system services that power real-world devices deployed at scale. You'll focus on the integration of networking, video, and hardware interfaces, implementing software that interacts directly with hardware peripherals, networking subsystems, and video pipelines running on embedded SoCs. Working closely with hardware, systems, and platform teams, you'll lead system bring-up and platform integration efforts for new hardware, debug complex issues across the full stack from hardware and kernel to drivers and application layers and participate in validation and performance tuning. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to software architecture improvements, maintain high-performance and reliable code, and support critical testing and troubleshooting activities in both lab and field environments as we build aerospace technology that flies.

About You:

  • 5+ years of experience developing software for embedded systems
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++
  • Experience developing applications on embedded Linux platforms
  • Experience debugging using tools such as gdb, strace, perf, tcpdump, etc.
  • Familiarity with Linux networking and system programming
  • Experience working with cross-compiled systems and build systems
  • Strong debugging skills across hardware and software boundaries

Nice to haves but not required:

  • Experience with camera pipelines, video processing, or multimedia frameworks
  • Experience with network switching, routing, or networking protocols
  • Familiarity with low-level embedded development (MCU, RTOS, or bare-metal)
  • Experience with hardware bring-up and board support package
  • Experience with Yocto or similar Linux build systems
  • Experience developing or modifying Linux device drivers
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing for embedded systems
