Design and implement robust firmware for embedded microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M) in Rust and C/C++, with focus on extreme power optimization for multi-year battery life. Bridge silicon and application software by developing low-level modem firmware, satellite communication drivers, and on-device algorithms for asset tracking.…See more Collaborate with hardware engineers on board bring-up, peripheral verification, and debugging; lead firmware release processes from local testing to field deployment. Bachelor's degree and 2–10+ years of embedded firmware development with proven shipping experience on physical hardware required.

Lead a team of firmware validation and verification engineers responsible for testing safety-critical software components including bootloaders, device drivers, networking stacks, and real-time operating systems across Zoox's autonomous vehicle platform. Define V&V strategy, establish testing methodologies, and drive best practices in test design, automation, and defect management.…See more Coach engineers on complex validation activities while coordinating with firmware, release management, and vehicle engineering teams. Requires 8+ years of experience with 2+ years of team leadership, expertise in high-assurance software testing, and knowledge of automotive software architectures.

Senior Software QA Engineer responsible for validating Firestorm's avionics platform—embedded Linux and RTOS flight computers, drivers, middleware, and safety-critical interfaces. Will design and execute risk-based test strategies (feature, exploratory, regression, acceptance) across HIL/SIL rigs, build Python-driven automation for serial/CAN/Ethernet I/O and fault injection, and instrument diagnostics to isolate timing and state issues before Flight Test.…See more Expected to own system testing end-to-end, validate robustness under degraded conditions (jitter, packet loss, brownouts, watchdog resets), and collaborate with avionics, autonomy, radio, and payload teams to harden reliability on aircraft.

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.…See more 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.
