Array Labs is building a distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D map of the world, and we need the help of a first-rate Firmware Engineer.

In this role, you’ll help shape the design of the world’s first formation-flying radar imaging constellation, which will deliver a quantum-leap in humanity’s ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our ever-changing world.

You’ll work closely with our radar, communications, and spacecraft teams to build cutting-edge hardware, rapidly moving all the way from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.

Responsibilities:

End-to-end ownership of low latency firmware code for radar, communication and flight control systems
Implement high-efficiency data movement between our radar sensors, FPGA fabric, microprocessors, networking interfaces, and storage peripherals
Design system-level solutions for complex multi-disciplinary challenges across all software layers
Collaborate with radar, communications, RF and GNC engineering teams to deliver reliable embedded solutions
Develop and implement test plans for hardware verification and validation

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelors in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Excellent teamwork and communication skills
Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
Experience programming in C or C++ in embedded environments

Preferred Skills and Experience:

Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
4+ years of experience in the automotive, medical robotics, or similar regulated embedded device industry with a focus on safety and high availability
Good understanding of multi-threaded embedded system concepts including tasks, priorities, and deadlocks
Embedded software debugging experience including clock-level issues, bridges, delays, interrupts, clock gating, and polling using debuggers (Keil, J-Link)
Experience building software for complex embedded systems or custom SoCs
Hands-on coding experience with peripherals with interfaces such as UART, SPI, CSI-2, i2c, GPIO, USB, and PCIE
Experience developing with modern Real-Time Operating Systems (FreeRTOS, ThreadX, VxWorks)
Experience with embedded software design and debugging of boards with multiple processors (ARM/RISC-V, DSPs, MCUs)
Experience with embedded software design and debugging using multiple peripheral interfaces (SPI, UART, GPIO, I2C, Ethernet)
Experience with a variety of microprocessors (ARM, Nordic, Microchip, STM) and hardware modules
Experience with debugging and coding in assembly language
Working knowledge of networking stack (Ethernet, TCP/IP suite)
Ability to read, interpret and modify schematic diagrams
Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python and Bash
