Overview
Role overview We are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join the core development team and lead the firmware layer that connects our hardware security engine to drone communication and telemetry workflows. You will own critical real-time communication, reliability, and integration work across microcontrollers, radio links, and FPGA interfaces
Key responsibilities
- Develop and maintain firmware for microcontroller-based bridging and control functions in the product
- Implement, debug, and optimize real-time data exchange between system components
- Design robust framing, CRC, error handling, and state-machine logic for embedded communication links
- Integrate secure telemetry and security alerts into operational data flows and ensure reliable delivery to ground control workflows
- Implement logging, diagnostics, and event capture features to support investigation, recovery, and continuous reliability improvement
- Work closely with FPGA and hardware engineers to define interface requirements, timing constraints, and test plans
- Build unit and integration test suites for firmware, including simulated fault and attack scenarios
Required experience
- 4+ years of hands-on embedded development in C or C++
- Strong experience with microcontroller peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, timers, and interrupts
- Proven experience implementing embedded communication protocols with CRC, error recovery, and deterministic timing
- Solid understanding of real-time constraints, performance tradeoffs, and resource-aware design
- Experience with embedded debugging and firmware build and flash workflows on Linux
Bonus points
- Experience with FreeRTOS or similar RTOS
- Experience working on drone platforms or with flight-controller communication stacks
- Familiarity with MAVLink-based serial interfaces and constrained embedded links
- Exposure to FPGA-adjacent system integration and hardware-software co-design
- Background in embedded security, secure boot, or root of trust concepts
