Summary

Founding Embedded Software Engineer - Build the flight software behind a new class of interceptor systems

Hawthorne, California | On-site

Opportunity Summary

Join a recently funded seed-stage defense technology startup developing a new generation of low-cost interceptor systems for rapidly evolving airborne threats. The company has already built and demonstrated working flight hardware with military users and is now expanding its core engineering team as it moves from early intercept demonstrations toward deployable systems and higher-rate production. As a Founding Embedded Software Engineer, you will own a significant portion of the software running directly on the vehicle. You will develop real-time flight software, integrate sensors and hardware, translate GNC algorithms into reliable embedded implementations, and help evolve the existing software stack into a production-ready system capable of operating across increasingly demanding missions and environments.

About Us

We are a seed-stage defense technology company developing compact, highly maneuverable interceptor systems designed around lower cost, rapid iteration, and scalable manufacturing. The team is intentionally small, with engineers taking direct ownership of major vehicle systems from initial development through flight testing. The company has completed successful customer demonstrations, recently secured additional financing, and is now building out several founding-level engineering functions.

Job Duties

Own and advance embedded software across guidance, navigation, flight control, sensing, and vehicle systems
Develop production-quality C/C++ for bare-metal, RTOS, and other resource-constrained embedded environments
Translate GNC algorithms and mathematical models into reliable real-time flight software
Optimize software for deterministic execution, low latency, memory efficiency, and limited onboard compute
Integrate IMUs, GNSS, magnetometers, RF systems, optical sensors, and other vehicle sensors into the flight-software architecture
Develop drivers, interfaces, and data pipelines connecting sensors, actuators, avionics, and flight computers
Support the development and integration of new sensing and guidance approaches
Perform board bring-up, hardware/software integration, and low-level debugging
Develop robust telemetry, logging, fault handling, and onboard diagnostic capabilities
Profile and optimize performance-critical code under tight compute and power constraints
Build tools for software testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, simulation, and flight-data analysis
Support system integration, ground testing, range operations, and flight testing
Analyze onboard logs and flight data to identify failures, performance limitations, and opportunities for improvement
Work closely with GNC, electrical, mechanical, propulsion, and test engineers to define interfaces and system requirements
Help establish the embedded software architecture, development standards, and technical practices that future engineers will build upon

Qualifications

3+ years of hands-on embedded software development experience
Strong proficiency in C or C++ for embedded systems
Experience developing software for microcontrollers, embedded processors, or other resource-constrained compute platforms
Experience working in bare-metal, RTOS, or other real-time environments
Strong understanding of timing, interrupts, concurrency, memory management, and deterministic software behavior
Hands-on experience integrating sensors, actuators, or other hardware into embedded systems
Ability to debug across the hardware/software boundary using laboratory tools and onboard telemetry
Experience profiling and optimizing performance-critical embedded code
Working understanding of control systems, numerical methods, state estimation, or sensor fusion
Ability to collaborate closely with algorithm developers and translate mathematical concepts into reliable software
Strong technical judgment and comfort making decisions in an early-stage environment
Ability to independently own software from initial implementation through hardware integration and flight testing
Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical discipline
Ability to work on-site in Hawthorne, California

Preferred Experience

Embedded flight software for UAS, missiles, interceptors, spacecraft, rockets, autonomous vehicles, or robotics
Experience working with PX4, ArduPilot, Betaflight, or similar flight-control architectures
Familiarity with GNC algorithms and real-time flight-control implementation
Sensor-fusion and state-estimation experience
Hardware-in-the-loop or software-in-the-loop testing
Experience with custom flight computers or avionics hardware
Familiarity with CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, or similar embedded communication protocols
Experience operating in GPS-denied or degraded-navigation environments
Rust or Zig development experience
Previous experience in a small technical team where engineers owned major portions of a product or vehicle

Why Join Us

Take founding-level ownership of the embedded flight-software stack
Build on a vehicle platform that has already completed successful real-world demonstrations
Work directly across embedded software, GNC, avionics, sensing, hardware integration, and flight testing
See software move quickly from your development environment onto real flight hardware
Help establish the software architecture and engineering standards as the team grows
Work on systems designed around scalable production rather than one-off prototypes
Founding-stage equity
Performance-based bonuses for exceptional contributions
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Company-provided meals during working days and launch activities
Paid time off and company holidays

$120,000 - $170,000
