Lead Embedded Systems Software Engineer Lead development of embedded firmware and guide a small team to deliver reliable edge devices.
Location: Saratoga, California, United States
Compensation: $150,000 - 225,000 USD / year
Job Tags: Software
About The Role E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We are looking for a Lead Embedded Software Engineer to own the full path from product requirements to working, tested firmware. You will translate product-level goals into system software architecture, write production code, and lead a team of embedded engineers to ship reliable, high-performance software.
What you will do:
Translate product requirements into clear system-level software architecture.
Define software interfaces, data flows, and module boundaries across the embedded stack.
Make and own key technical decisions. Document them clearly for the team.
Identify risks early and drive solutions before they become blockers.
Write, review, and maintain production firmware in C/C++ (and Rust where applicable).
Develop drivers, middleware, and application logic for sensor-rich embedded platforms.
Work with Zephyr RTOS across multiple MCU families (STM32, Nordic nRF, ESP32).
Use West and CMake to manage builds, module dependencies, and board configurations.
Debug firmware using JTAG, SWD, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
Integrate and validate sensors including IMUs, accelerometers, and gyroscopes.
Implement and optimize networking stacks - BLE, Thread, and Wi-Fi.
Design and maintain backend communication protocols for reliable edge-to-cloud data transfer.
Write automated unit and integration tests before or alongside feature code.
Build and maintain HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) and SIL (software-in-the-loop) test frameworks.
Set team standards for test coverage, static analysis, and CI/CD pipelines.
Perform code reviews with a focus on correctness, safety, and long-term maintainability.
Lead a small team of embedded engineers. Set clear goals and unblock day-to-day work.
Mentor engineers through design reviews, pair programming, and direct feedback.
Collaborate with hardware, systems, and product teams to align on requirements.
Contribute to hiring - interview candidates and help define the team's technical bar.
What we are looking for:
7+ years of embedded software development experience in production systems.
Strong C/C++ skills in resource-constrained environments (bare-metal and RTOS).
Hands-on experience with Zephyr RTOS, including West build system and CMake.
Deep knowledge of at least one MCU family: STM32, Nordic nRF, or ESP32.
Experience integrating and characterizing inertial sensors (IMU, accelerometer, gyroscope).
Solid understanding of wireless protocols - BLE, Thread, and Wi-Fi - including their stack implementations.
Experience designing and implementing backend communications (MQTT, CoAP, HTTP/REST, or similar).
Strong skills in writing automated tests for embedded code: unit tests, mocking, HIL/SIL frameworks.
Proficiency with hardware debug tooling: JTAG, SWD, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
Solid Git workflow practices: branching strategy, code review process, and CI/CD integration.
Demonstrated ability to lead a technical team while remaining a hands-on contributor.
Clear communicator. Able to explain complex technical decisions to non-specialist stakeholders.
Experience with Rust in embedded contexts.
Familiarity with TinyML or edge ML frameworks (TFLite Micro, Edge Impulse, ONNX Runtime).
Background in aerospace, satellite, or other safety-critical systems.
Experience with model optimization techniques such as quantization and pruning.
Contributions to open-source embedded or RTOS projects.
Full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. Total compensation will be determined by relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
In your first 90 days, you will have mapped the current embedded software architecture, identified the highest-priority gaps, and shipped at least one meaningful feature end-to-end. Within six months, you will have established a team testing standard, introduced measurable improvements to firmware reliability, and built strong working relationships with hardware and systems engineering.
We do not provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
