Job Description

We are looking for an embedded engineer who knows how to bring best-in-class reliability and performance to autonomous driving systems. You will work with the software, systems, and electrical leaders to rapidly develop firmware for sensor processing, functional safety, controls, and autonomy vehicle interfacing.

Your scope will include leading the system design and implementation of key improvements to the current AeroVect localization module including integrating multiple sensor modalities to precisely localize the vehicle in its operating environment with a high degree of redundancy.

The opportunity offers a technical, hands-on programmer the chance to help develop a market-defining enterprise product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. This role reports directly to our Director of Hardware and works closely with the rest of the engineering team.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver highly reliable firmware for AeroVect-designed hardware

• Collaborate with electrical engineers to bring up and integrate embedded-based PCBs

• Work with engineers across the department to develop new products, from prototype through production and flight

• Take ownership for the life cycle of the software you create, including development, verification testing, and operational support.

• Strong experience with ARM processors

• Working experience in a Linux based Operating System

• Strong reasoning skills and mathematics background including linear algebra, geometry, calculus, optimization, and probability to name a few

• Solid engineering background with hands-on design and development experience

Desired Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Math, EE, or a related field

• Understanding of DDS frameworks like ROS/ROS2 or other networking middleware

• Fluency in redundant, fault tolerant microcontroller systems, and watchdog-based fault detection

• Basic hands-on experience with laboratory tools such as oscilloscopes and multimeters for board bringup and interface testing

• Experience in efficient neural network embedded design for low-power system

• Proven track record of system development and successful deployment of unmanned systems in existing or upcoming products

• Safety-critical coding practices (MISRA and ISO 26262 compliance)
