Remote Embedded Engineer information

What is a remote embedded engineer?

A Remote Embedded Engineer is a professional who designs, develops, and maintains embedded systems, such as microcontrollers or specialized hardware, while working from a location outside the traditional office environment. They use programming languages like C or C++ to create software that interacts directly with hardware components. Remote Embedded Engineers often collaborate with teams using online tools, manage tasks independently, and ensure the reliability and efficiency of embedded systems across industries such as automotive, medical devices, or IoT. Their work enables connectivity and functionality in a wide range of smart devices.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote embedded engineer?

To thrive as a Remote Embedded Engineer, you need expertise in embedded systems design, proficiency in programming languages like C/C++, and a background in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with microcontrollers, real-time operating systems (RTOS), hardware debugging tools, and version control systems such as Git is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, self-motivation, and effective remote communication skills make candidates stand out in this role. These competencies are vital to ensure reliable embedded solutions, efficient project collaboration, and independent productivity in a remote environment.

How do remote embedded engineers typically collaborate with hardware teams when working off-site?

Remote Embedded Engineers often use a combination of version control systems, video conferencing, and remote desktop tools to stay in sync with hardware teams. They may participate in daily standups, share code and test results through collaborative platforms, and sometimes use hardware simulators or remote lab access for testing. Regular documentation and clear communication are key, as are scheduled sync meetings to address integration issues and align project milestones. This structure helps ensure smooth coordination despite physical distance.

What is the difference between Remote Embedded Engineer vs Remote Firmware Engineer?

AspectRemote Embedded EngineerRemote Firmware Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related; experience with embedded systemsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related; experience with firmware development
Work EnvironmentDesigning and developing embedded hardware/software, often in R&D or product development teamsWriting low-level code for hardware devices, often in manufacturing or product support
Industry UsageElectronics, IoT, automotive, consumer devicesConsumer electronics, IoT, industrial equipment
Common Search/ComparisonRemote Embedded EngineerRemote Firmware Engineer

Both roles focus on embedded systems but differ mainly in scope. Remote Embedded Engineers work on both hardware and software integration, while Remote Firmware Engineers specialize in low-level firmware coding. The choice depends on whether the focus is on hardware-software integration or firmware development.

Job description

Working at NT Concepts means that you are part of an innovative, agile company dedicated to solving the most critical challenges in National Security. We're looking for the best and the brightest to join us in supporting this mission. If meaningful work, initiative, creativity, and continuous self-improvement are important to your career, join our growing team and discover What's Next for you. We tackle hard problems to meet our clients' needs.
We are looking for an applied engineer to own our radar and ML technical stack. This is a blended role at the intersection of radar/SAR simulation, machine learning, scientific software, and compute infrastructure.
The ideal candidate is not a pure data scientist or a pure signal processing engineer. They are a technical owner who can move across the stack: from radar simulations and data preprocessing to ML model development, local GPU/compute setup, and hand-offs of radar products to software and hardware teams.
Clearance: Active TS/SCI clearance. US Citizenship is required.
Location: Chantilly, VA (Monday-Thursday Onsite & Friday Remote)
Responsibilities:
  • Act as a technical liaison, fostering effective communication and collaboration between radar engineering, machine learning, software engineering, and operation teams.
  • Develop and maintain robust radar and SAR simulation pipelines, including synthetic data generation, scene/return modeling, and validation workflows.
  • Design, build and refine end-to-end ML models and pipelines for radar-related tasks, including preprocessing, training, evaluation, and deployment-ready packaging.
  • Utilize and analyze defense-focused datasets, including radar, 3D models, Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR), and sensing-adjacent data.
  • Create radar products and technical deliverables for internal software teams and hardware partners, including APIs, data schemas, containers, documentation, and integration guidance.
  • Design, configure, and optimize local compute environments, including GPU/eGPU setups, remote compute, storage, networking, containerization, and benchmarking.
  • Support ML inference/training on constrained or embedded compute, with awareness of systems such as RFSoCs, FPGAs, and related hardware constraints.
  • Collaborate with RF/hardware partners to support internal RF code processing, radar outputs, and productization of deployable radar hardware
  • Help deploy and maintain web applications and internal tools on classified or restricted networks.
  • Contribute to technical writing, SBIR proposals, and system documentation.

Required Qualifications:
  • Deep experience in Synthetic Aperture Radar, non-imaging radar, remote sensing, or signal processing
  • Solid understanding of radar/SAR fundamentals, including:
    • I/Q and complex-valued data
    • Simulation techniques
    • Image formation algorithms and radar-to-image pipelines
    • Coherent vs. incoherent processing
  • Proven track record of experience with radar or remote sensing simulations
  • Strong proficiency with scientific Python libraries:
    • NumPy, PyTorch, SciPy, Matplotlib, Jupyter, and related scientific stacks
  • Demonstrated ability to build end- to-end ML pipelines encompassing:
    • Data preprocessing
    • Training
    • Evaluation
    • Versioning
    • Packaging
    • Hand-off to other engineers
  • Hands-on experience with GPU compute, such as:
    • PyTorch
    • CUDA
    • NVIDIA tooling
    • Remote GPU Servers
    • Local GPU compute
  • Ability to explain radar/ML concepts to non-radar engineers and produce clear technical deliverables
  • Adherence to robust software engineering principles and best practices (e.g. clean code, testing, version control).
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex radar and ML concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, and to produce high-quality technical documentation and deliverables.

Preferred Skills/Experience:
  • Experience with Xpatch simulations specifically
  • Experience with CAD and or artistic 3D modeling skills
  • Experience with EO/IR or multi-sensor fusion
  • Experience with adversarial imaging AI
  • Understanding of RFSoCs, FPGAs, HLS, quantization, or edge deployment constraints
  • Experience designing or optimizing local compute servers / GPU clusters / eGPU configurations
  • Experience working with RF hardware partners or hardware-in-the-loop systems
  • Experience with LLMs, LoRA fine-tuning, or local model deployment for niche tasks
  • Experience with container computing and orchestration

Physical Requirements:
  • Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer
  • Must be able to lift up to 10-15 pounds at time
