JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are seeking an experienced Principal Embedded Software Engineer I with a strong background in developing embedded applications using Linux and Yocto. The ideal candidate will have hands‑on expertise in embedded systems, device drivers, kernel modifications, and boot loaders, with a preference for experience on the Xilinx platform (though experience on other microcontrollers is also acceptable).

As a software team member, you will be responsible for software designs from concept through production, including product roadmaps, block diagrams, detailed design and coding, analysis, test, qualification, and in‑orbit support. The ideal candidate will have development experience at nearly every level of the software stack, including microcontrollers, low‑level drivers, board support packages (BSP), and user interfaces with an emphasis on applications and data management. Additionally, the ideal candidate will have experience in software testing and high‑reliability qualification, as well as software engineering and software project management practices.

This position will be supporting our Skylark product line, an antenna system that uses active phased array technology to unlock satellite communications that has traditionally relied on mechanically steered systems. Skylark is designed to work with any existing or upcoming satellite constellation and is scalable to the desired performance or application. Skylark offers several unique differentiators including is its multi‑beam capability which unlocks simultaneous communications with satellites in different orbits.

The successful candidate will present engineering design review materials to our customers and executive team, as well as participate in proposal‑writing efforts. As such, excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.
