Software Gigs

Lead an embedded Linux software team building mission-critical defense systems, splitting time between management and individual contribution. Design and implement C/C++ Linux daemons, REST APIs, and system services for aerial platforms and deployable manufacturing infrastructure. Manage team standups, architecture reviews, and cross-functional coordination with autonomy, avionics, and mechanical/electrical engineering. Engineer for real-time performance, security, and reliability while owning developer experience, CI/CD pipelines, and field operability.

Senior Software QA Engineer to own system testing for Firestorm's avionics platform—embedded Linux and RTOS flight computers, board support packages, device drivers, and safety-critical data paths. You will design and execute risk-based test strategies (feature/bring-up, exploratory, regression, acceptance) and build automation across HIL/SIL rigs exercising real buses (CAN/CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I²C, Ethernet) and links (MAVLink, Tactical Data Links) under fault conditions. You will instrument diagnostics, triage defects, and harden robustness for timing, jitter, packet loss, brownouts, and recovery paths before Flight Test. This is a full-time onsite role in San Diego requiring hands-on bench work with flight computers, power systems, radios, and sensors.

Lead a small embedded Linux software team building mission-critical aerial systems and autonomous platforms for defense applications. You'll split your time between team management (standups, architecture reviews, task prioritization) and hands-on C/C++ development of Linux daemons, REST APIs, and system services. Design for real-time performance, security hardening, and field operability while collaborating across autonomy, avionics, mechanical, and electrical teams. Own the full software lifecycle from architecture and CI/CD pipelines to documentation and field diagnostics.
