Join our small, agile, and mission-driven team where your work has real impact and your growth has no limits. We're not just reaching for the stars-we're engineering them. Let's innovate the infinite, together.
A DAY IN THE LIFE:
As an Embedded Software Engineer II - RUST, you'll design, develop, and integrate embedded software that powers next-generation aerospace and defense systems. You'll contribute to developing and supporting real-time applications in both C/C++ and RUST, focusing on low-level firmware, device drivers, and board-level integration. You'll work closely with hardware, systems, and test engineers to translate complex requirements into efficient, reliable code-building the foundation for secure, high-performance mission-critical systems.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Design and Develop Embedded Software: Contribute to the design, implementation, testing, and integration of real-time embedded applications and tools.
  • Implement Device Drivers and Firmware: Develop and maintain low-level software components in C/C++ and RUST, ensuring precise hardware interaction and performance.
  • Debug and Troubleshoot: Perform software debugging and root-cause analysis at the module and system level, ensuring code stability and reliability.
  • Translate Requirements into Code: Interpret and implement detailed software requirements derived from system-level specifications.
  • Collaborate Across Teams: Work with cross-disciplinary teams-including hardware, systems, and test engineers-to achieve seamless integration of hardware and software components.
  • Participate in Reviews: Take part in code reviews, design discussions, and test planning sessions to maintain high-quality development standards.
  • Document and Maintain Code: Create and maintain clear, comprehensive documentation, including software design descriptions, implementation notes, and test procedures.
  • Follow Best Practices: Use modern software development practices such as version control (Git), issue tracking, and configuration management tools to ensure efficient workflow and traceability.

YOU'RE AWESOME AT:
  • Embedded Development: You're comfortable writing efficient, reliable embedded code in C/C++ and RUST for low-level device control.
  • Systems Integration: You enjoy working close to the hardware, collaborating with multiple engineering disciplines to deliver complete solutions.
  • Debugging Complex Systems: You thrive on solving challenging software problems through careful analysis and hands-on troubleshooting.
  • Attention to Detail: You take pride in writing clean, maintainable code that meets tight performance and reliability requirements.
