Overnight Embedded Systems Engineer information

What is an overnight embedded systems engineer?

Overnight Embedded Systems Engineers are professionals who specialize in designing, developing, and troubleshooting embedded systems during overnight or late-night shifts. These engineers work on hardware and software components that are integrated into devices such as industrial machines, medical equipment, or consumer electronics. Overnight shifts are often necessary in industries that require 24/7 support for critical systems or to ensure that projects with tight deadlines stay on track. Their responsibilities may include debugging, firmware updates, system testing, and responding to urgent technical issues that arise outside of standard business hours.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an overnight embedded systems engineer?

To thrive as an Overnight Embedded Systems Engineer, you need a solid background in embedded systems design, programming (C/C++), and hardware-software integration, often backed by a degree in electrical engineering or computer science. Familiarity with tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and version control systems such as Git is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are essential soft skills, especially when working independently or during off-hours. These abilities ensure the engineer can efficiently identify and resolve issues, maintain system reliability, and support continuous operations during overnight shifts.

What are some unique challenges faced by overnight embedded systems engineers, and how can they be managed effectively?

Overnight Embedded Systems Engineers often encounter challenges such as limited real-time support from colleagues or external vendors, as most teams operate during standard business hours. This requires strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently when troubleshooting system issues or deploying updates. Effective documentation, clear communication with the day team through shift handovers, and leveraging remote collaboration tools can help ensure continuity and minimize disruptions. Additionally, maintaining a healthy work-life balance is important, as overnight shifts can impact sleep patterns and overall well-being.

Job description

At Expedition Technology (EXP), we solve the nation's toughest defense and intelligence challenges through advanced analytics, machine learning, and software engineering. Our teams work at the intersection of mission and innovation, delivering impactful capabilities in real-world environments.

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to support the deployment of advanced data processing and machine learning solutions to low size, weight, and power (SWaP) systems. This role focuses on optimizing and deploying algorithms to GPU-enabled embedded platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson) for real-time applications.

What You'll Do:
* Deploy and optimize computer vision, signal processing, or data processing algorithms on embedded hardware
* Improve real-time, low-latency performance of ML pipelines on constrained systems
* Profile CPU/GPU performance and identify system bottlenecks
* Collaborate on algorithm selection based on hardware constraints
* Containerize and deploy solutions using tools like Docker
* Work in Linux-based environments and contribute to production-quality code
* Partner with ML and software engineers to transition models into operational environments

Required Qualifications:
* United States Citizenship - for US Government security clearance eligibility
* Active Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) security clearance
* Experience deploying software or algorithms to embedded or edge systems
* Proficiency in Python or ability to learn quickly
* Experience working in Linux environments
* Experience optimizing performance in constrained environments
* Strong problem-solving skills across software and hardware domains

Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or similar GPU-enabled embedded platforms
* Experience with video or signal processing pipelines
* Familiarity with CUDA and CPU/GPU profiling
* Experience with Docker or containerization
* Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or ONNX
* Prior experience working on ML-focused teams

Additional Information
This role is focused on embedded systems with GPU acceleration rather than traditional microcontroller or FPGA-centric work. Candidates should be comfortable working across the full lifecycle of algorithm development and deployment in performance-sensitive environments.

Why EXP?
At EXP, you won't just build technology-you'll help shape solutions to some of the toughest challenges facing our nation. We value curiosity, ownership, and real innovation, and we're committed to creating an environment where talented engineers can make a measurable difference.

What do we offer our team?
Expedition Technology (EXP) offers a flexible, self-directed benefits package that is designed to fit your individual needs. Benefits include:
  • Company-paid, medical, dental and vision insurance
  • Up to 45 days of PTO
  • Up to 12% 401k contribution - Traditional and Roth options available
  • Student loan repayment assistance
  • Paid Family Leave
  • Tuition Reimbursement - $5250/year available
  • Referral bonus program
  • Free tickets to sporting events, theater, concerts and more
  • Free, onsite fitness center, onsite cafeteria with reduced-cost meals
  • A collaborative, creative and supportive culture where you will be encouraged to push boundaries, take risks and enjoy the rewards.

EXP is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer that believes a diverse range of talent creates an environment that fosters creativity and innovation.All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, national origin, genetic information, or protected veteran status.
