Job description

Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer
Company: Grid.aero
Location: Onsite 4 days/week [San Leandro, CA]

About Grid.aero

Grid.aero is building the next generation of autonomous aviation systems for defense and commercial applications. Led by experienced aerospace and technology operators and backed by leading venture investors, we solve hard operational problems at the intersection of autonomy, resilient logistics, and scalable air mobility. We move quickly, operate with urgency, and build systems designed for real-world deployment where small teams own meaningful problems end-to-end.

Read this, we mean it Above all, we look for exceptional builders with deep internal drive, massive throughput, hopeless optimism, and a relentless growth mindset. The people who thrive at Grid operate with urgency, learn quickly, adapt fast, and are energized by hard problems with no obvious answers. We value individuals who continuously push themselves and the team around them to improve.

This is an opportunity to work on products with national and global impact alongside a collaborative team that values technical excellence, execution, and mission focus.

What You'll Do:

  • Own the embedded software aspects of RTOS integration, drivers and BSPs, and defining/testing communications protocols.
  • Test and debug hardware and software in Hardware-in-the-loop simulators and on aircraft.
  • Assist with flight testing as needed.
  • Participate in cross-functional discussions about Grid's product and mentor teams on software standards and best practices.
  • Participate in hardware and software selection and integration for the prototypes, keeping SWAP-C and scalability in mind


Key Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of experience in embedded software development and use
  • Experience with Real Time OS and threaded SW development
  • Background in robotics, mechatronics, or computer science with hands-on project experience
  • Strong programming skills in C++ (POSIX API on Linux systems) and Python
  • Experience with UAS flight controls and avionics systems is a plus
  • Interest in autonomy, AI, or aviation (aviation experience is a plus, but not required)
  • Experience with git and interest in basic software workflow automation
  • Prior experience in an early-stage startup or dynamic, fast-paced environments

Compensation: $150k -$190k / 0.1-0.3% Equity

Equal Opportunity Employer:

Grid.aero is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
