The Opportunity

StaffRight Associates is recruiting for a Senior or Principal Embedded Software Engineer on behalf of a well-established client building hardware for the expanding space sector. In this full-time role, based entirely on-site in San Diego, CA, you’ll create the software that powers space-bound computer boards and related systems. That code demands real-time performance and reliability. It’s a hands-on seat on a strong engineering team, working with compelling technology on projects headed for orbit.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect, implement, document, and validate embedded software across the client’s aerospace product portfolio.
  • Build and troubleshoot low-level foundations, including bootloaders, board support packages, device drivers, and kernels, targeting RTEMS, Embedded Linux, VxWorks 6.9/7.0, and bare-metal platforms.
  • Engineer embedded code in C/C++ and assembly, and craft Python desktop GUI utilities that drive automated test equipment, using libraries such as pyvisa and nidaqmx.
  • Power system verification, troubleshooting, and production by delivering test programs, test plans, and deep technical know-how.
  • Represent engineering in technical conversations with customers and in multidisciplinary design reviews.
  • Shape software architecture, project planning, risk mitigation, and continuous process improvement across multiple programs.

What You Bring

  • 8–30 years of hands-on Embedded Software Development experience.
  • Deep proficiency in C/C++ and Python, plus proven expertise in Board Support Package (BSP), Kernel, and Device Driver Development.
  • A solid track record with Embedded Linux, VxWorks, and/or Bare-Metal platforms.
  • Skill in Low-Level Hardware Debugging with bench instrumentation and In-Circuit Emulators, plus working knowledge of Buildroot or Yocto and NAND Flash File Systems.
  • A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. A master’s degree is a plus.
  • Sharp analytical and problem-solving instincts, paired with a collaborative, team-first mindset.
  • Residence in the San Diego area. The client is not offering relocation assistance or visa sponsorship.

Compensation & Total Rewards

  • Base salary range: $150,000–$220,000 annually (USD)
  • Full-time, direct-hire position

StaffRight was crafted out of an industry need to better manage the processes and complexities of today’s recruitment and staffing demands. With company beginnings formulated in the industry over 30 years ago, our founder realized that there was a definitive need to utilize recruitment and staffing more efficiently and effectively than what has been the typical industry standard model.

Understanding and committing to our employees is critical to the growth and sustainability of StaffRight. We are of the opinion that regardless of their expertise, a successful company needs great people. The success of an employee is realized in a variety of different ways, but for us, we go well beyond one's credentials and interview. Finding the best employees who possess the needed skills, experience, and education are certainly key in a hire, but to truly find great employees who feel they are an integral part of the company, it takes tremendous insight in understanding what makes someone successful. Passion for one’s work, commitment to excellence, and having a ‘get it done’ attitude are essential for a great employee. Having these qualities also goes a long way in ensuring that an employee always has the client's best interests in mind. Great employees are passionate about their work and the company where they hang their jacket. Additionally, we believe that having refined and solid communication skills is also paramount in enabling all employees to work together towards the common goals and successes of the company. This collaboration is very much based on our employees' ability to listen to others and respond effectively, both internally with each other, and externally to our clients.
