Join our small, agile, and mission‑driven team where your work has real impact and your growth has no limits. We’re not just reaching for the stars—we’re engineering them. Let’s innovate the infinite, together.
A DAY IN THE LIFE As an Embedded Software Engineer II – RUST , you’ll design, develop, and integrate embedded software that powers next‑generation aerospace and defense systems. You’ll contribute to developing and supporting real‑time applications in both C/C++ and RUST , focusing on low‑level firmware, device drivers, and board‑level integration. You’ll work closely with hardware, systems, and test engineers to translate complex requirements into efficient, reliable code—building the foundation for secure, high‑performance mission‑critical systems.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Design and develop embedded software: Contribute to the design, implementation, testing, and integration of real‑time embedded applications and tools.
Implement device drivers and firmware: Develop and maintain low‑level software components in C/C++ and RUST, ensuring precise hardware interaction and performance.
Debug and troubleshoot: Perform software debugging and root‑cause analysis at the module and system level, ensuring code stability and reliability.
Translate requirements into code: Interpret and implement detailed software requirements derived from system‑level specifications.
Collaborate across teams: Work with cross‑disciplinary teams—including hardware, systems, and test engineers—to achieve seamless integration of hardware and software components.
Participate in reviews: Take part in code reviews, design discussions, and test planning sessions to maintain high‑quality development standards.
Document and maintain code: Create and maintain clear, comprehensive documentation, including software design descriptions, implementation notes, and test procedures.
Follow best practices: Use modern software development practices such as version control (Git), issue tracking, and configuration management tools to ensure efficient workflow and traceability.
YOU’RE AWESOME AT
Embedded development: Comfortable writing efficient, reliable embedded code in C/C++ and RUST for low‑level device control.
Systems integration: Enjoy working close to hardware, collaborating with multiple engineering disciplines to deliver complete solutions.
Debugging complex systems: Thrive on solving challenging software problems through careful analysis and hands‑on troubleshooting.
Attention to detail: Take pride in writing clean, maintainable code that meets tight performance and reliability requirements.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
3+ years of embedded software development experience.
Proficiency in embedded C programming for low‑level device control.
Experience developing in RUST for embedded or systems‑level applications.
Familiarity with embedded Linux and/or real‑time operating systems (RTOS).
Understanding of networking and communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and TCP/IP.
Ability to interpret electrical schematics and component datasheets.
Experience with standard development tools including compilers, debuggers, IDEs, and version control (e.g., Git).
Strong problem‑solving skills, meticulous attention to detail, and clear communication abilities.
Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS The starting base salary for this position ranges from $110,000 to $130,000 per year , depending on the candidate’s job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.
