Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship and may be required to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance in the future. THIS IS NOT A FULLY REMOTE POSITION. Required * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. * 4+ years of professional software engineering experience or equivalent demonstrated expertise * Professional experience building, deploying, and maintaining production embedded software systems on edge devices with constrained CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and power resources. * Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ with the ability to quickly understand, debug, and extend large existing codebases. This role is not a fit for candidates without deep C/C++ experience. Working knowledge of Golang and Python3.8+ preferred. * Strong experience with Yocto-based embedded Linux distributions, including image customization, package management, board support packages, kernel configuration and tuning, and production deployment workflows. * Strong debugging, profiling, and performance optimization skills on constrained compute platforms. * Ability to collaborate effectively across software, firmware, DevOps, data science, and hardware teams. Someone Who Will Thrive in This Role * Enjoys understanding complete systems-not just individual components. * Takes ownership of complex technical problems and follows them through to production. * Is comfortable diving into large existing codebases and becoming productive quickly. * Values practical, reliable engineering over unnecessary complexity. * Collaborates effectively across software, firmware, hardware, and AI teams. * Has experience at smaller or fast-growing companies where engineers own broad portions of the product rather than a single isolated component. * Has experience developing connected devices, IoT platforms, fleet management systems, robotics, or other distributed edge computing products. Bonus Points * Experience deploying AI/ML models usingTensorRT, ONNX Runtime,PyTorch, TensorFlow Lite, or similar frameworks. * Experience with NVIDIA Jetson, CUDA, GPUs, NPUs, or other edge accelerators. * Background in radar, RF sensing, robotics, autonomy, perception systems, signal processing, or sensor fusion. * Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, board bring-up, and embedded platform validation. ## Description MatrixSpace develops AI-enabled radar and sensing systems that help people understand what's happening in the world around them. By combining advanced radar, edge computing, and AI, we deliver situational awareness in environments where traditional sensing solutions struggle. We're looking for a hands-on Embedded Software Engineer to build high-performance software that runs close to the hardware. You'll develop production embedded applications in C/C++, optimize software for resource-constrained edge platforms, and work across Linux, networking, and system-level software. If you're the kind of engineer who can read complex C/C++ code like a book, enjoys understanding entire systems rather than isolated components, and loves solving practical engineering problems, we'd love to talk. What You'll Do * Port, optimize, and enhance platform software for embedded and resource-constrained compute environments. * Deploy, validate, profile, and optimize AI/ML-enabled applications on edge hardware. * Develop production-quality software using C/C++, Python, Golang, and Linux-based technologies. * Collaborate with Data Science teams to integrate AI/ML models into production software pipelines. * Work across Linux kernel, device interfaces, networking, and system-level software components. * Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, testing, troubleshooting, and technical planning. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
