Job description

As Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will architect, implement, and maintain our hardware-agnostic and OS-agnostic on-board software framework. Your work in collaboration with the AI team will enable integration of any hardware into any bus in less than a day instead of months, ensuring robustness, safety, and performance across Linux and real-time operating systems.

What You'll Do

  1. Platform & Abstraction
  • Design and develop a hardware-agnostic HAL and middleware stack in C/C++, supporting ARM Cortex-A/R/M, RISC-V, etc.

  • Create OS-agnostic abstraction layers to target Linux (Yocto/Ubuntu) and RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, RTEMS) with minimal code divergence.

  1. Driver & Protocol Implementation
  • Implement and maintain bus-protocol drivers (I2C, SPI, UART) with multi-bus and multi-instance support for redundancy.

  • Define and adhere to clear software-to-hardware interface contracts (ICDs/datasheet-driven), ensuring consistent behavior across platforms.

  1. Architecture & Best Practices
  • Apply OOP principles in C++ and structured design in C to build modular, testable components.

  • Enforce MISRA C/C++ and CERT Secure Coding guidelines; integrate static analysis, code reviews, and Git-based CI pipelines.

  1. Automation & Testing
  • Develop Python scripts to automate configuration of the on-board software, automate build, flashing, and validation across multiple target boards.

  • Build and maintain hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop test frameworks to continuously test, validate, and verify the on-board software and platform compatibility.

  1. Collaboration & Mentorship
  • Collaborate with the Software Lead, AI Engineer and Backend team

  • Mentor junior engineers, share knowledge on cross-platform strategies, and foster an iterative "try, learn, improve" culture.

Requirements

  1. Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent

  2. 5+ years of embedded software development, with emphasis on cross-platform or portable code

  3. Expert in C (99/11) and Modern C++ (11/14/17); solid understanding of OOP and procedural design

  4. Deep experience with I2C, SPI, UART (multi-bus, multi-device patterns)

  5. Proven ability to develop for both Linux (Yocto, Ubuntu) and RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, RTEMS)

  6. Python scripting for coding, build/test automation

  7. Familiarity with hardware debugging (JTAG/SWD, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)

  8. Strong version control workflow (Git, GitFlow) and CI/CD integration

Nice-to-Have

  1. Background in satellite or aerospace on-board computers (OBCs) and Flight Software Frameworks.

  2. Exposure to container-based CI for embedded builds (Docker)

  3. Knowledge of additional field buses (CAN/CAN-FD, MIL-STD, etc.)

  4. Experience with secure boot or firmware-update mechanisms
