Job summary

Trigent Software Inc. seeks an Embedded Staff Engineer in Austin, TX to own the embedded implementation, portting the existing Python-based processing chain onto radar SoCs while meeting hard latency, power, and memory budgets.

You will work directly with our CTO and the algorithm team and shape how the first engineering team at client works, including decisions on fixed-point conversion. You will collaborate on building real-time firmware, board bring-up, and field tests, contributing to a

Qualifications

• Advanced degree in a field relevant to embedded systems.
• Strong embedded C/C++ on resource-constrained SoCs with RTOS experience.
• Working DSP fundamentals.
• Eligibility to work with export-controlled technical data.
• Comfort at the bench and tinkering in a startup environment with high self-direction.

Responsibilities

• Implement and optimize the signal chain in C/C++ on embedded radar under SWaP constraints.
• Design the real-time firmware architecture.
• Board bring-up, drivers, and the data path from ADC to output.
• Build capture/replay and hardware-in-the-loop rigs around real field data.
• Join field tests and integration work with clients.

Job description

Title: Embedded Staff Engineer

Location: Austin, TX

Duration: 6 Months (Contract to Hire)

The Role

The next step for client is running in real time on client radars You will own the embedded implementation: porting the existing Python-based processing chain onto radar SoCs, holding hard latency, power and memory budgets, and building the test infrastructure that proves on-target behavior matches what we validated in the field.
