The Opportunity:
Booz Allen is building the next generation of tactical robotic systems for defense, national security, and public safety missions, establishing a new center of engineering excellence to design and deliver an entirely new class of mission-ready platforms. We focus on delivering real systems with real capabilities, grounded in operator-centered design, rapid field-driven iteration, and U.S.-based manufacturing. As an embedded software engineer, you understand how to create and maintain the critical software that enables these systems to function, writing and optimizing code that bridges hardware and software, enabling reliable communication and performance.
We are entering a new phase of growth and seeking a highly skilled Senior Embedded Engineer to help shape the next wave of autonomous, semi-autonomous, and precision-flight systems. In this role, you will support system architecture, parts selection, validation test design, and full hardware-software development cycles across multiple product lines. You'll write, test, and refine embedded code, reverse engineer software to support hardware functionality, configure solutions across various platforms, and collaborate with cybersecurity specialists to ensure secure and resilient systems. You'll also work closely with technical leads to troubleshoot operational issues and support field deployments, contributing directly to the systems that protect our service members, communities, and country.
