• Proficiency in C/C++ and embedded software.
• Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers (STM32, TI, NXP, Microchip).
• Experience with CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet.
• Familiarity with safety-critical development practices (DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160, ARP4756C, ARP4761).

Responsibilities

• Develop firmware across multiple layers from drivers to application logic.
• Build drivers and interfaces for sensors, actuators, and peripherals.
• Implement communication protocols including CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet.
• Develop embedded control, monitoring, and data logging systems.
• Collaborate with PCB, electrical, and controls engineers for hardware–firmware interfaces.
• Bring up new hardware, debug firmware, and validate embedded systems.
• Develop automated tests and hardware-in-the-loop environments as needed.
• Maintain firmware architecture, documentation, version control, and test procedures.

Job description

We're Hiring: Embedded System Engineer

Full time | Core team

LAT Aerospace | Cross Program

LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.

The Embedded Systems Engineer is a cross-program role spanning drivers, hardware interfaces, real-time systems, control logic, communications, and application-level firmware. You will work closely with PCB, electrical, and controls engineers to take embedded systems from first prototype through testing and deployment.

What You’ll Do

• Develop firmware across multiple layers, from low-level drivers and hardware abstraction to application and control logic.
• Develop real-time embedded software for microcontrollers and embedded processors.
• Build drivers and interfaces for sensors, actuators, ADCs, DACs, timers, communication peripherals, and other hardware.
• Implement communication protocols including CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485, Ethernet, and other interfaces.
• Develop embedded control, monitoring, data logging, diagnostics, and fault-handling systems.
• Work closely with PCB engineers to define hardware–firmware interfaces and debug board-level issues.
• Bring up new hardware, debug firmware, and validate complete embedded systems on the bench and in integrated test environments.
• Develop automated test and hardware-in-the-loop environments where required.
• Build robust software architectures with appropriate fault handling, watchdogs, diagnostics, and recovery mechanisms.
• Maintain firmware architecture, documentation, version control, test procedures, and release processes.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of professional experience developing firmware for aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial, or other high-reliability systems is preferred.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and embedded software development.
• Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers such as STM32, TI, NXP, Microchip, or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience debugging embedded systems using JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and other tools.
• Strong understanding of firmware–hardware interaction and ability to debug issues across both layers.
• Experience with embedded communication protocols such as CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160, ARP4756C, and ARP4761 or equivalent safety-critical development and verification practices.
• Experience with requirements-driven development, traceability, configuration management, verification, and software/hardware validation is highly preferred.
• Strong software engineering practices including code reviews, automated testing, and version control.

Why join LAT?

• No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
• Rapid hardware iteration culture.
• Build systems that have to work reliably in the real world.
