This is a chance to build resilient, high‑throughput software that directly impacts transportation, national security, and critical infrastructure operations.

• Design, develop, and optimize real‑time embedded software for custom Linux‑based hardware
• Work on low‑level hardware interfaces, DMA, and high‑speed data transfer
• Build Linux kernel drivers and user‑space APIs for custom hardware
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (hardware, FPGA, analytics) to ship reliable products
• Profile and debug systems for low‑latency, high‑reliability operation
• Be part of a company that’s genuinely engineering‑first, not bureaucracy‑heavy

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in CS, EE, CE, or related field
• 3+ years of embedded software or low‑level systems experience
• Strong in C/C++ or Rust (Rust a plus)
• Experience with embedded Linux, Yocto/Buildroot, and kernel or driver‑level development
• Skilled in debugging with GDB, JTAG, oscilloscopes, and similar tools
• Comfortable with Git, CI/CD, and scripting (Python/Bash)
• Familiarity with CAN, ARINC‑429, MIL‑STD‑1553, or related protocols
• Knowledge of DSP, real‑time processing, or hardware/software integration
• Must have US citizenship and security clearance.

The culture emphasizes integrity, user‑centered thinking, collaboration, and continuous improvement - and is supported by competitive compensation, strong benefits, flexible work options, and an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives drive better outcomes.
