Job description

As a Rust expert, you will be responsible for developing software across a range of platforms and applications, from flight control systems to advanced radar processing. While much of this work sits at the embedded layer, we do not require applicants to have a traditional embedded engineering background. We are extremely interested in strong Rust developers who are keen to learn embedded systems and transition their expertise into this domain. Responsibilities Identify and define the architecture of embedded software in conjunction with the wider engineering team Scope and expand our CI and automated testing and release infrastructure Build high-performance, deterministic and well-tested embedded systems with a view to accreditation Definition of interfaces between software elements (APIs) and over communications interfaces (protocols) Requirements Excellent analytical, communication, and teamwork capabilities Preferred Qualifications/Experience, Experience in fast-paced R&D or startup

Requirements

environments, with rapid prototype iteration times Experience with bare-metal, RTOS (i.e., NuttX, ThreadX, RTIC, Zephyr, FreeRTOS, VxWorks, INTEGRITY), and embedded Linux Experience with STM32, Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+, etc. Experience with flight controllers Experience developing for safety-critical systems, i.e., avionics, medical or automotive What We Offer Competitive compensation and stock options Private Medical & Dental Cycle to work scheme About Us The mission of Cambridge Aerospace is to eliminate the risk of existential war in Europe. That risk comes from the air - low-cost drones and cruise missiles now manufactured in colossal volumes by our adversaries, ballistic missiles capable of ending the world as we know it, and a new generation of hypersonic weapons that evade every existing defence. We’re building low-cost interceptors that defeat these threats, and the surveillance systems to detect and target them - at a cost taxpayers can afford, at the pace the threat demands, and with sovereign supply chains that assure delivery. We have immense backing from the world’s best venture funds. We’re one of the fastest growing defence technology companies in history. And we’re hiring the best engineers to prosecute the mission. If you are in the top 1%, willing to work harder than you ever have, build technology better than anyone else, and contribute to the defining challenge of our time, now is the time to join us. Our Commitment to Inclusion We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. #J-18808-Ljbffr
