## About the Role

5+ Years of experience

 * Strong proficiency in C and C++, with practical Python experience for tooling, automation, or system integration.
 * Hands-on experience with embedded Linux and/or real-time operating systems, cross-compilation, and debugging at the hardware/software boundary.
 * Knowledge of common hardware interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet, along with network programming fundamentals.
 * Experience integrating sensors, radios, actuators, or other hardware into a production or field-tested system.
 * Experience with Git, code review, and collaborative software-development workflows.
 * Comfort operating with ambiguity in a small, fast-moving team.
 * U.S. Person as defined by ITAR (22 CFR §120.62)

NICE TO HAVE

 * Nix or NixOS experience, particularly reproducible development or deployment environments.
 * Ability to use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers, and serial-console tooling.
 * Experience with autonomy, robotics, controls, estimation, navigation, signal processing, communications software or ROS.
 * Experience with simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, automated test infrastructure, or hardware bring-up.
 * Experience developing SDKs, libraries, or interfaces used by other engineering teams.

## Description

Write robust C, C++, and Python for resource-constrained, real-time environments on Linux and RTOS targets.

 * Work directly with electrical, mechanical, RF, and systems engineers to take new capabilities from prototype to production.
 * Design, implement, and maintain software for autonomous systems, including embedded software, mission software, and supporting ground tools.
 * Build and own software interfaces to sensors, radios, actuators, cameras, and other hardware; validate them on the bench and in the field.
 * Develop simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and automated test infrastructure that lets the team iterate quickly with confidence.
 * Support integration campaigns and field-test events, including debugging on live hardware and turning findings into fixes.
 * Contribute to engineering practices that keep a small team fast: code review, CI, and pragmatic documentation.
