Develop low-level firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers, processors, custom ASICs, FPGAs, and embedded hardware platforms. Design and maintain board support packages, hardware abstraction layers, bootloaders, and device drivers; perform board bring-up, hardware validation, and debug complex hardware/firmware issues using lab instrumentation.…See more Requires 4+ years of embedded firmware experience, strong C/C++ skills, hands-on board bring-up and debugging expertise, and knowledge of embedded communication protocols (SPI, I2C, I3C, UART, Ethernet, CAN, RS-422, RS-485). Support high-reliability firmware development practices including fault management, redundancy, power management, and collaborate across hardware, FPGA, verification, and manufacturing teams.

Embedded Software Engineer III will develop real-time embedded C/C++ software for satellite avionics and payload data processing systems, working with multi-core processors, FPGA-integrated platforms (Xilinx, Microchip, Vorago), and ARM Cortex/RISC-V architectures. Responsibilities include customizing Linux kernels and bootloaders (U-Boot, GRUB) for flight applications, implementing secure communications (IP, TLS, IPsec, AES, RSA, ECDSA), and interfacing with embedded buses (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, SpaceWire).…See more The role requires 5+ years of embedded software experience in C/C++, deep knowledge of networking protocols and cryptographic systems, and ability to collaborate with hardware and FPGA engineers on rugged, Low-SWaP aerospace products.
