Firmware Engineer
About Us
Chariot Defense is a defense technology company that designs and manufactures a family of power products for the U.S. military and its allies. We believe that credible deterrence of armed conflict and winning if deterrence fails, requires more than just the best drones, sensors, weapons, electronic warfare systems, and command & control capabilities. Those critical components will require sustained electric power in austere and resource-constrained environments. Moreover, military units must be able to turn off the trucks and generators that generate this power to hide and survive. In other words, power generation must be decoupled from power consumption. Chariot Defense's products enable exactly this capability, allowing U.S. and allied militaries to be more lethal and survivable. We hope you will join us on this mission.
About the Role
Firmware is where our product meets the physical world. We're looking for a Firmware & Embedded Controls Engineer to own the low-level software that commands Chariot's power electronics, enforces our safety systems, and keeps the hardware running reliably when it's deployed in the field. You'll write code that runs on bare metal and on real-time operating systems in systems languages like C and Rust, directly controlling significant electrical power flowing through real hardware in austere, resource-constrained environments where failure isn't an option. You will directly shape the firmware architecture that goes into Amphora and future products. Our team comes from Tesla, Anduril, Apple, Archer, and the U.S. military. We build hardware that operators depend on in the field and we hold our firmware to that same standard, because lives depend on it. This is a high-ownership, high-impact
