TL;DR · Embedded Firmware Engineer, Connected Warfare

JOB TITLE: Embedded Firmware Engineer, Connected Warfare The Embedded Firmware Engineer joins the Connected Warfare team to develop the firmware that powers command and control platforms in contested environments. This role involves writing real-time microcontroller code in C, building reusable device drivers for sensors and peripherals, and managing communication interfaces. You will work alongside electrical engineers to perform board bring-up, review schematics, and debug complex issues at the hardware-software boundary using bench tools. Key technical requirements include experience with bare-metal or RTOS environments and common bus protocols like SPI, I2C, and UART. You will also utilize JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers to support production systems. The work focuses on fusing sensor data, communications, and autonomy into deployable hardware for real-time military command and control.

What you'll do

  • Write firmware in C for microcontrollers across Connected Warfare platforms.
  • Develop and integrate reusable device drivers for sensors, peripherals, and communication interfaces.
  • Debug issues spanning electrical, firmware, and software boundaries using bench tools and embedded techniques.
  • Support board bring-up by reviewing schematics and validating interfaces with the Electrical Engineering team.
  • Contribute to firmware architecture decisions as the codebase grows.
  • Ship production code to systems deployed in the field.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience.
  • 1+ years of firmware or embedded software development experience.
  • Solid C coding ability for embedded systems.
  • Experience developing firmware in bare-metal or RTOS environments.
  • Familiarity with common bus protocols such as SPI, I2C, or UART.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.
  • Experience with one or more microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, etc.) (preferred).
  • Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors (preferred).
