Junior Embedded Developer information

What is a junior embedded developer?

Junior Embedded Developers are entry-level software engineers who design, develop, and maintain embedded systems—specialized computing systems that perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electrical systems. They typically work with hardware such as microcontrollers or microprocessors, programming them to carry out specific tasks. Their responsibilities can include writing code in languages like C or C++, debugging hardware-software interactions, and collaborating with teams to build products like IoT devices, automotive systems, or consumer electronics. Junior Embedded Developers often work under the guidance of senior engineers as they gain hands-on experience and deepen their technical skills.

What projects or tasks does a junior embedded developer typically work on?

As a Junior Embedded Developer, you can expect to contribute to tasks such as writing and debugging firmware, assisting with hardware-software integration, and performing unit tests on embedded systems. You may also help maintain codebases, support the development of new features, and participate in troubleshooting sessions. Collaboration with senior developers, hardware engineers, and QA teams is common, providing opportunities to learn best practices and deepen your technical understanding of embedded systems.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a junior embedded developer?

To thrive as a Junior Embedded Developer, you need a solid understanding of programming languages like C/C++, basic electronics, and a relevant degree in computer engineering or a related field. Familiarity with microcontrollers, embedded IDEs (such as Keil or MPLAB), and version control systems like Git is typically required. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication help you debug systems and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These skills ensure reliable software development, efficient troubleshooting, and successful integration with hardware components.

Position Type: Full time


Position Summary: ThayerMahan is seeking a senior software engineer to join our team. In this role, you will help develop a wide range of software from web applications to embedded Linux and microcontrollers, with applications to autonomous system command and control, digital signal processing, software build and configuration management, and data flow management.


Role and Responsibilities: Create and maintain software solutions by writing and reviewing code, creating and maintaining documentation, and developing and reviewing design proposals. Support production staff with system preparation. A senior software engineer can:

  • Work on incompletely specified tasks, fluidly communicating what the specifications should be, or what the solution space (range of options) is.
  • Jump in the deep end and figure things out, with little or no up-front explanations.
  • Fluidly consider short- and long-term plans, selecting minimum viable short-term options that elegantly build toward long-term goals.
  • Provide strong mentorship to junior engineers.

Senior Software Engineers must have strong communication skills for socializing plans and potential solutions and working toward well-specified product behaviors.


Qualifications and Educational Requirements:

  • Required qualifications: o U.S. Citizen (position entails access to Controlled Unclassed Information).
  • Typical qualifications: o Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. o 8+ years relevant industry experience o Able to obtain DoD security clearance.

Required Skills:

  • Exploring code repositories to understand how existing features have been implemented.
  • Updating code to address defects, or to create new capabilities.
  • Designing and implementing new features.
  • Writing documentation for users or maintainers.
  • Writing automated tests.
  • Learning new technologies.
  • Researching technologies for potential adoption.
  • Communicating clearly and efficiently around all of the above.
  • Collaborating productively with stakeholders and other engineers.
  • Providing field engineering support for R&D, new product testing, and deployed systems.
  • Expertise in at least two software languages enumerated under "preferred skills".

Preferred Skills:

  • Git / GitLab
  • CI/CD
  • Python
  • Bash
  • Linux
  • Data visualization
  • C
  • C++
  • Rust
  • Docker
  • Networking
  • Experience working with or developing for DoD customers.

Physical Requirements/Working Conditions:

  • Ability to travel to Groton HQ on short notice.
  • Hybrid expectation: 100% onsite at Groton HQ for initial onboarding, and 2-3 days per week onsite thereafter.

Travel Requirements (If Applicable):

  • Occasional travel for at-sea support or major client milestones.
