Job description

What Impact You'll Have

GRVTY is seeking a passionate Junior Embedded Software Engineer to join our growing software team in Ventura, CA. This is an opportunity to develop and test autonomy software for our groundbreaking Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (AUV) Family of Systems and advanced guidance, navigation, and controls (GNC) technology. The embedded software that runs inside our vehicles is mission-critical – operating autonomously for very long periods without the ability for operator intervention. Our software team designs and maintains the low-level software layers that interface directly with vehicle hardware, sensors, control surfaces, propulsion and communication systems, forming the foundation on which our autonomy and GNC stacks depend. You will join a team of dedicated engineers and scientists who are pushing the boundaries of maritime technology to deliver exceptional products and capabilities.

What You'll be Owning

  • Develop and maintain embedded C/C++ code operating under RTOS for AUV subsystems including propulsion, control surfaces, sensors, and others
  • Implement and integrate device drivers for sensors and communication peripherals (i.e., DVL, IMU, GPS, USBL, etc.)
  • Develop serial, Ethernet and UDP/TCP socket-based interfaces for communications within the AUV architecture
  • Lead hardware-in-the-loop and system level testing
  • Support integration of vehicle software with external operator interfaces and topside control systems
  • Support in-water vehicle test events; collect and analyze embedded system logs and telemetry to diagnose field anomalies
  • Assist in documenting and maintaining software interface control documents (ICDs) for internal and external interfaces
  • Provide appropriate documentation for generated code
  • Follow safe coding practices appropriate for safety-critical embedded systems
  • Technical Lead for projects as appropriate
  • Provide mentoring for interns
  • Lead/contributing author on reports/papers and presents work at meetings when appropriate

What You Must Have

  • US Citizenship required; ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or closely related field.
  • 0-4 years of professional experience in embedded software or firmware development (internships, co-ops, and senior capstone projects count)
  • Proficiency in C and C++ for embedded or systems programming
  • Familiarity with microcontroller or embedded processor development environments (bare-metal or RTOS-based)
  • Working knowledge of at least two serial communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS-485, or similar)
  • Experience with debugging tools such as JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, or logic analyzers
  • Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail; comfortable reading hardware datasheets and schematics
  • Ability to write clear, grammatically correct documents with logical structure and deep technical content
  • Demonstrates excellence in technical discussions with internal and external collaborators
  • Displays professionalism both in the workplace and in customer interactions

What Would be Nice to Have

  • Experience with RTOS platforms such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, or similar
  • Academic or project experience with underwater vehicles, robotics, or maritime/defense systems
  • Familiarity with communication protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, RS-485, Ethernet, CAN bus
  • Experience with software configuration management tools

Pay Range: At GRVTY, we understand that compensation is influenced by many factors—such as geographic location, federal contract labor categories, wage rates, prior experience, skillsets, education, and certifications.
