Senior Embedded Engineer Jobs in Springville, UT

Build the Software Platform Behind the Vehicle

Hypercraft is developing a new generation of electric Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) for defense and commercial applications.

Our vehicles are designed around a modern software-defined architecture that separates reusable platform technologies from vehicle-specific functionality, allowing new capabilities to be developed and deployed significantly faster than traditional vehicle programs.

At the center of that architecture is Carbon, Hypercraft's Software Defined Vehicle ecosystem.

Carbon combines centralized vehicle computing, embedded software, reusable hardware, engineering tools, standardized interfaces, and application infrastructure into a common platform that powers every Hypercraft vehicle.

As a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer, you'll help build the embedded platform that everything else depends on.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced embedded software engineer with strong C development experience who enjoys building platforms rather than applications.

You'll develop RTOS software, hardware abstraction layers, board support packages, device drivers, and platform services that form the foundation of Hypercraft's software-defined vehicles.

You'll work across embedded Linux, networking, and distributed systems while collaborating closely with hardware, controls, and electrical engineers to build reliable, maintainable embedded platforms for next-generation vehicles.

What You'll Build

• RTOS infrastructure and safety-critical software
• Embedded Linux platform services
• Hardware abstraction layers (HALs), BSPs, and device drivers
• Vehicle networking (Ethernet, CAN, and IPC)
• Diagnostics, secure boot, and software update systems
• Core software infrastructure used across every Hypercraft vehicle

Responsibilities

• Design and develop real-time embedded software for vehicle control and platform infrastructure.
• Develop RTOS applications, platform services, HALs, BSPs, and device drivers.
• Build and maintain embedded networking, middleware, diagnostics, and secure software update capabilities.
• Bring up new hardware, integrate peripherals, and debug complex embedded systems.
• Optimize deterministic performance, reliability, and resource utilization across embedded platforms.
• Collaborate with electrical, controls, and software engineers to enable new vehicle capabilities and support prototype development, testing, and field deployments.

Experience in Several of These Areas

• Real-time operating systems (RTOS)
• Embedded C/C++
• BSP, HAL, and device driver development
• ARM-based embedded processors (e.g., NXP)
• Ethernet, CAN, and IPC
• Embedded Linux
• Bootloaders and secure boot
• Middleware and communication frameworks
• Embedded debugging (JTAG, GDB, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers)
• Safety-critical or high-reliability software

What We're Looking ForMinimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline
• 8+ years developing embedded software
• Strong C/C++
• Strong Linux experience
• Experience with RTOS development
• Experience developing safety-critical software
• Experience bringing up embedded hardware

Experience in Several of These Areas

• RTOS
• Embedded Linux
• Yocto
• Docker
• C/C++
• Rust
• Python
• CAN / J1939
• Automotive Ethernet (100/1000BASE-T1)
• ARM
• NXP S32 Automotive Platform
• BSP development
• Device drivers
• Secure Boot
• OTA updates
• Distributed systems
• ISO 26262 / functional safety
• Cybersecurity

No candidate is expected to have experience in every area.

Backgrounds That Translate Well

Experience in one or more of the following industries is particularly relevant:

• Robotics
• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Defense
• Industrial automation
• Autonomous systems
• Embedded networking
• Edge computing

You'll Probably Enjoy This Role If...

• You enjoy building software platforms.
• You think in systems rather than applications.
• You like understanding hardware.
• You enjoy debugging difficult problems.
• You want to work where software and hardware meet.
• You enjoy building infrastructure that other engineers depend on.

Why Hypercraft

At Hypercraft, you'll build the embedded software that powers our vehicles, not just a single ECU.

You'll develop RTOS software, low-level C, device drivers, networking, and platform infrastructure while working closely with hardware and prototype vehicles from the beginning.

If you enjoy solving difficult embedded problems and seeing your software run on real hardware, you'll feel at home here.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Equity opportunities
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401k
• Unlimited paid time off
• Professional development
• Relocation assistance may be available
