Eligibility This position requires that you must be a US Citizen for consideration and meet all Federal Contractor employee requirements. Nomad GCS does not support the H1B Visa for this position. Training This position requires onsite training at our Columbia Falls, Montana facility, beginning on hire date. Length of time for training is at the discretion of the Embedded Systems Engineering Manager. Position Embedded Systems Engineer II Division Innovative Solutions Group Department Embedded Systems & Human Factors Engineering Status Full-time Overview Nomad Global Communication Solutions (Nomad GCS) is a leading provider of communication and response products serving a wide range of customers. Our purpose is to be the solution when every minute matters. We are seeking Embedded Systems Engineers to help design, develop, and support the embedded hardware systems for Nomad Total Command™ (NTC) and other systems integrated into Nomad products. Core Responsibilities – All Levels Design, develop, and support embedded hardware and firmware used within Nomad Total Command (NTC) and other Nomad platforms. Develop firmware and control logic using C/C++ for microcontrollers and embedded processors supporting modules and control interfaces. Write logic that bridges embedded hardware with NTC software using C/C++ and other languages. Specify/test new embedded computers, network switches, and other hardware for NTC or other Nomad platforms. Integrate sensors, actuators, networking interfaces, and operator control systems used by the NTC platform. Design and troubleshoot embedded systems using CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, and related protocols used within various communication networks. Ensure systems exhibit deterministic and predictable behavior, particularly in real-time or near real-time environments. Review, edit, or write JSON based configuration files. Implement error logging, as well as frequent “health checks” and hardware status updates. Drive improvements in reliability through testing, diagnostics, and design iteration. Diagnose complex interactions between hardware, firmware, networking, and electrical systems. Work within Linux-based environments, including containerized environments (Docker). Flash embedded firmware for micro-controlled hardware and sensors. Write control logic & software for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s). Participate in efforts to automate and continuously improve NTC hardware configuration. Attend meetings regarding upcoming builds, take meaningful notes, and actively participate: Proposal Reviews; Sales/Project Management Kickoffs; SPN reviews, Initial Design Reviews (IDR), and Executive Design Reviews (EDR); and Actively participate in Executive Reviews and document any findings.
Configure, or aid in configuring NTC hardware for production projects, ensuring configuration is accurate and aligns with customer requirements and intended system operation. Assist production team(s) with troubleshooting NTC issues. Design or assist in designing printed circuit boards (PCB’s) Participate in design reviews, testing, validation, and root cause analysis of embedded hardware and control behavior. Work closely with Software Engineering to define hardware abstraction layers (HAL’s) and other methods to translate software commands into hardware actions. Assist software in defining how hardware data/control should be presented in the NTC frontend. Develop and improve embedded systems with the goal that hardware control logic is independent of NTC software functionality. Design systems with strong emphasis on fault tolerance, redundancy, and predictable failure behavior. Assist field and production teams in resolving challenging system-level issues. Prototype and test next-generation capabilities including, but not limited to: Automation systems Advanced sensor integration AI-assisted monitoring Autonomous subsystems Vehicle information system integration (CAN) Self-deployment capabilities (SLAM, Sensor-Fusion, Computer Vision etc.) Edge machine learning Predictive maintenance capabilities Subsystem data acquisition for local inference.
Identify opportunities to improve operational awareness, system automation, and reliability. Collaborate cross-functionally with Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, IT Integration, Human Factors Engineering, Software Engineering, Production, Quality, and Program Management teams to ensure embedded systems integrate cleanly with platform subsystems. Apply continuous improvement principles to improve reliability, determinism, manufacturability, and maintainability of embedded hardware. Produce clear technical documentation including: Engineering notes Troubleshooting guides Test procedures Technical design documentation System changes, firmware updates, and hardware improvements.
Translate operational feedback into engineering improvements. Uphold and model Nomad Core Values in all work. Perform additional duties as assigned.

Embedded Systems Engineer II – Independent Contributor Independently develop firmware for embedded subsystems and control modules. Implement control logic, state machines, and communication interfaces supporting NTC functionality. Create production-ready embedded code and configuration for NTC hardware. Participate in NTC hardware bring-up, integration, and troubleshooting. Support manufacturing troubleshooting and resolve moderate NTC system issues. Participate actively in design reviews and cross-functional collaboration with supporting disciplines. Participate in advanced engineering projects requiring new features or complex logic. 2–5 years embedded systems engineering experience. Embedded Systems Engineer III – Advanced / System-Level Lead embedded design for major subsystems or platform-level control modules. Architect deterministic control logic and embedded communications supporting system behavior. Troubleshoot complex NTC system failures and lead root cause analysis. Mentor Embedded Systems Engineer I–II team members on NTC architecture and embedded development practices. Participate in advanced engineering efforts for novel features. Optimize embedded designs for reliability, serviceability, and performance. Demonstrate ownership of NTC subsystem behavior and embedded control logic. 5–8 years embedded systems engineering experience.
