Embedded Real-Time Software Engineer – Aerospace, Equity & PTO

boom-supersonic; Centennial (CO); On-site; USD 120,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

Boom Supersonic in Centennial, CO is seeking an embedded software engineer to build real-time control software for the Symphony engine. You’ll interface with sensors, actuators, and safety-critical flight systems to keep software running from light-off to cruise.

Over time this role will grow into developing FADEC and expanding ownership as programs mature. You\'ll work with Rust, C, and C++ on Linux/RTOS, follow strong software practices, and participate in hardware-in-the-loop testing to

Qualifications

• Real-time or embedded systems development experience especially in Rust, C, or C++ for safety-critical applications.
• Professional software engineering background: familiar with structured requirements, source control, automated tests, and deployment workflows.
• Proficient with Linux, real-time operating systems (e.g., VxWorks, FreeRTOS, QNX, or RTEMS), or bare-metal development.

Responsibilities

• Develop embedded jet engine control software that governs engine operation and signals across tightly coupled subsystems.
• Work with propulsion, test, and avionics engineers to define, refine, and validate embedded system requirements.
• Build and test software for real-time execution on safety-critical targets, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems.
• Establish strong software engineering practices including version control, unit testing, and automated testing and deployment for embedded systems.
• Help design the future embedded software architecture, with increasing scope and ownership as the company's programs grow.
• Support simulation and test campaigns by integrating control software with engine models and testbed instrumentation.
• Own the full lifecycle of your code—from prototype to flight-ready.
