Embedded Software Developer - Robotics (US Citizenship Required)

Job Summary

We are seeking a Embedded Software Developer to develop and integrate software for small unmanned aircraft systems and associated subsystems. This is a hands-on, product-focused role spanning microcontrollers, RTOS-based systems, and embedded Linux.

Job Duties & Responsibilities

• Develop embedded software in C and C++ for microcontrollers, RTOS-based systems (e.g., Zephyr or similar), and embedded Linux platforms
• Design and implement core embedded constructs such as state machines, timing-sensitive logic, and basic algorithms
• Integrate software across multiple interconnected processors and subsystems, including sensors, cameras, and payload devices
• Develop and maintain low-level drivers and hardware interfaces
• Work with common embedded communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, and Ethernet
• Perform system-level debugging using tools such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and in-circuit debuggers
• Own features from initial design through implementation, integration, testing, and field support
• Contribute to system architecture and interface design in collaboration with other engineers
• Build and maintain internal tools, test utilities, and automation, often using Python

Job Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree required
• 1-3+ years of professional experience developing embedded software for production systems
• Strong proficiency in C and C++ for embedded targets
• Experience working across multiple layers of an embedded system, including MCU firmware, RTOS-based software, and embedded Linux
• Solid understanding of microcontroller peripherals and inter-device communication protocols
• Demonstrated ability to debug complex hardware/software interactions and resolve system-level issues
• Experience delivering reliable embedded software in a collaborative engineering environment

Helpful Experience (Nice To Have)

• Experience with UAS software stacks or autopilot systems, particularly PX4, including integration with sensors, payloads, or higher-level system components
• Experience developing firmware for microcontrollers, including peripheral configuration and low-level driver development
• Experience with real-time operating systems such as Zephyr, FreeRTOS, or similar
• Board bring-up and low-level hardware/software debugging experience
• Familiarity with STM32, NVIDIA Jetson, or similar embedded platforms
• Exposure to UAS, robotics, or other complex embedded systems
