What is a Rust Embedded job?

A Rust Embedded job involves developing software for embedded systems using the Rust programming language. These systems include microcontrollers, IoT devices, and real-time applications where performance, safety, and reliability are critical. Rust's memory safety features and concurrency support make it well-suited for embedded development, reducing common issues like buffer overflows and data races. Developers in this field work with low-level hardware interactions, device drivers, and firmware while optimizing for constraints like power consumption and processing speed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Rust Embedded position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Rust Embedded professional, you need strong proficiency in the Rust programming language, embedded systems design, and low-level hardware interaction, often supported by a degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field. Experience with microcontroller platforms (such as ARM Cortex-M), version control systems like Git, and tools such as embedded debuggers or simulators is commonly required; certifications in embedded development or safety standards (e.g. ISO 26262) can be advantageous. Effective problem-solving, attention to detail, and strong collaboration skills are essential for successful project delivery. These skills ensure reliability, efficiency, and safety in developing robust embedded software for critical hardware applications.

What are some typical day-to-day tasks for a Rust Embedded engineer?

As a Rust Embedded engineer, your daily tasks often include designing, coding, and debugging firmware or low-level drivers in Rust, conducting hardware-software integration tests, and working closely with cross-functional teams such as hardware engineers and QA specialists. You may also participate in code reviews, optimize system performance, and document technical specifications to support maintainable development. Troubleshooting and resolving issues that arise during real-world device deployment is also a common responsibility. This role involves a mix of independent problem-solving and collaborative teamwork to ensure reliable, high-performance embedded solutions.

Job description

Company: Ultra Intelligence & Communications

Mission SolutionsPowering Decision

Join the team redefining defense technology. From engineering systems that save lives to leading programs that change the battlefield-find your place in the future of defense.

Mission Solutions

By joining our Mission Solutions business, you will be a member of a team dedicated to providing innovative solutions that streamline the preparation and execution of intricate, mission-critical operations. We focus on enhancing situational awareness, tactical command and control, and seamless video data exchange capabilities within a dynamic, multi-domain environment.

Job Description Ultra ProLogic is expanding its encryption business and seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to help architect, implement, and certify high-assurance cryptographic systems used by the U.S. Department of Defense, NATO, and allied partners.
This role goes beyond traditional embedded development. You will work on security-critical software and firmware that must meet NSA High Assurance (HA) certification requirements, contributing directly to cryptographic information assurance architectures, certification artifacts, and fielded systems protecting real-world tactical and strategic networks.
If you are motivated by deep technical challenges-secure embedded design, Rust adoption in constrained environments, and building systems that withstand formal certification scrutiny-this role offers rare and meaningful work.
What You'll Work On
High-assurance cryptographic and key management systems supporting secure communications, remote rekey, and lifecycle management
Embedded software and firmware operating within defined crypto, INFOSEC, and High Assurance boundaries
Architecture and implementation of cryptographic information assurance (IA) software and systems
Modernization of legacy C baselines and architecting Rust-based embedded solutions for security- and safety-critical environments
Systems that undergo formal NSA High Assurance certification, from requirements through fielding and sustainment

Role Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain embedded software primarily in C and Rust for cryptographic and security-critical platforms
  • Architect cryptographic information assurance software and systems, including definition of security boundaries, trusted services, and separation of crypto and non-crypto functions
  • Perform trade studies and embedded architecture design, with emphasis on memory-safe designs and C-to-Rust transitions
  • Actively support the NSA High Assurance certification process, including:
    • Requirements decomposition and traceability
    • Security architecture definition and documentation
    • Development of certification artifacts and evidence
    • Participation in technical reviews and certification milestones
  • Develop and maintain formal engineering documentation:
    • Software & Hardware Requirements (SHRS, IRS)
    • Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
    • Software/Hardware Design Descriptions (SHDD)
  • Develop and execute unit testing, integration, and acceptance testing, including hardware-in-the-loop and security-relevant test cases
  • Manage configuration control for software development items in certified baselines
  • Collaborate closely with systems, hardware, security, and test engineers in a high-performance, mission-driven team
  • Identify and implement process, tooling, and automation improvements to support secure development and certification efficiency
  • Periodic travel (~5%) for customer interaction, test events, or off-site integration activities

Required Qualifications

  • Active U.S. Government Secret Security Clearance (U.S. citizenship required)
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 8+ years of embedded software development experience in C and/or Rust
  • Experience with:
    • Low-level embedded development and debugging
    • ARM-based processors and SoC platforms
    • Firmware and hardware/software integration
  • Strong understanding of memory management, concurrency, and deterministic embedded behavior

Preferred / Differentiating Experience

  • 10+ years of embedded or firmware development experience
  • Experience with Rust in constrained embedded environments (no-std, heapless, hardware abstraction layer (HAL))
  • Direct experience with NSA High Assurance certification, RMF, or similar DoD security frameworks
  • Familiarity with cryptographic system design, key management, and secure boot/trust architectures
  • Experience with:
    • openOCD, gdb, JTAG/SWD debugging
    • AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (e.g., Xilinx ZCU102/104 Evaluation Kit or similar)
  • Experience working in waterfall or agile development methodology-based projects
  • Strong systems-thinking mindset with the ability to assess technical risk and security impact
  • Clear communicator who thrives in collaborative, technically rigorous teams

Why Ultra ProLogic

  • Work on fielded, certified cryptographic systems and research & development projects
  • Direct exposure to and participation in NSA High Assurance certification
  • Opportunity to influence system architecture, not just implementation
  • Hands-on role in modernizing high-assurance systems with Rust
  • Long-term programs, stable funding, and deeply technical challenges
