The Role and Your Impact We need an Embedded Systems Engineer to own the layer between hardware and the application stack — board bring‑up, BSP, drivers, and real‑time control across Archimedes' subsystems. You'll work directly with EE, mechanical, and our robotics software team to make sure the system actually talks to itself under field conditions.
What You'll Own
Board bring‑up and BSP development on custom hardware
Linux kernel and driver work including device drivers, DMA, interrupts, and userspace interfaces
Real‑time control loops for motion, power, and sensor subsystems
Hardware and software co‑design alongside EEs and mechanical engineers
Debug at the metal using oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG, and bus traces
Boot, flash, and update infrastructure for embedded targets including A/B partitions and OTA
What We’re Looking For
3 to 8+ years building embedded systems on real hardware
Strong C and C++ on Linux, plus comfort with Python for tooling
Hands on Linux kernel, driver, and BSP experience on at least one custom board
Real‑time systems experience including PREEMPT_RT, Xenomai, or RTOS
Comfortable debugging at the hardware level with scope and logic analyzer
Where you probably come from Defense companies, robotics, drones, automotive embedded, aerospace, or hardware startups doing real‑time embedded work.
Nice to Haves
Yocto or Buildroot
ROS2 integration
Safety‑critical or hard real‑time experience
CAN, EtherCAT, or industrial bus experience
Education BS or MS in EE, CE, CS, or equivalent hands‑on experience.
How You Operate
Extreme bias for action. You ship working code on real hardware, not slideware.
You debug from first principles, not intuition alone.
Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration in a startup environment.
Clear communicator across electrical, mechanical, optical, and software teams.
Self directed. You identify what needs to happen next and do it without being told.
Why Join Aurelius Systems
Build more in 1 month than most engineers build in 1 year. We field test weekly. Your work goes downrange, not into a filing cabinet.
Career velocity is real. At ~10 engineers, there are no layers between you and impact.
Work on a problem that actually matters. Small cheap drones are changing warfare. Our laser systems are the asymmetric answer — infinite magazine, near zero cost per shot, scalable to every base, border, facility, and truck.
Join the densest defense startup ecosystem in the country. California is where the next generation of defense companies are being built.
How We Work Core hours are Monday through Friday, 9 to 6. When we're sprinting toward a demo or field test, the team ramps up — nights, weekends, whatever it takes to ship. When the sprint lands, we ramp down. We don't manufacture intensity for show.
Benefits
Competitive salary + equity
United Health Care medical, dental, and vision coverage
Flexible 18 days PTO + 5 sick days
Travel to field test events and range days
Covered daily lunches and office snacks + drinks
E-bike / scooter stipend (Up to $500)
Direct access to leadership and real ownership over your work
