Job description

Embedded Software Engineer
Department: Software
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Redondo Beach
Compensation: $130,000 - $280,000 / year
Description
As an Embedded Software Engineer your core responsibility will be to write code that runs on custom avionics hardware for executing flight and ground test functions. You will work with avionics hardware engineers, GNC engineers, propulsion engineers, and others to develop performant and maintainable solutions. You will have the opportunity to contribute to many aspects of spacecraft development, including architecting new systems, doing quick prototypes, doing rigorous flight projects, and controlling flight hardware during ground tests.
Responsibilities
  • Implement and improve low-level processor functions such as controls of peripherals, and setup of communication interfaces.
  • Implement and improve functions such as closed loop control of physical processes, and detection/response algorithms for failures such as broken sensors or radiation upsets.
  • Provide technical input on new system developments from an embedded software perspective.
  • Write scrappy code to support development testing of avionics and propulsion devices.
  • Write rigorous, reviewed, and tested code to support manufacturing and flight.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience building software in lieu of a degree
  • 1+ years' writing C/C++ code for an embedded system or vehicle of some kind (robot, car, drone, or spacecraft)

Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and source-level debuggers to troubleshoot problems at all layers of the stack.
  • Knowledge of and experience with communication protocols including I2C, CAN, SPI, UART, etc.
  • Knowledge of microprocessors and microcontrollers, with an understanding of components such as caches, buses, memory controllers, and DMA.
  • Experience developing low-level drivers for camera modules (e.g., MIPI CSI-2, USB, SPI, I2C).
  • Understanding of sensor communication protocols and interfacing with custom or commercial image sensors.
  • Experience interfacing with motor drivers, power electronics, and sensor feedback systems, including encoders and current sensors.

Additional Information:
Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.
