Job type
- Permanent
Job description10-20 years of embedded software experience, ideally in mission‑critical or defense systems. Expertise in C programming (bare‑metal experience strongly preferred). Familiarity with RTOS (FreeRTOS a plus), programmable hardware (VHDL / FPGA), and communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet). Strong technical leadership skills - able to mentor, guide, and act as a "force multiplier." Fast‑Paced Projects : 18-24 month project cycles with exposure to multiple chip vendors (NXP, TI, STM, and more). You'll work across a variety of platforms - often multiple in the same day - so no two weeks feel the same. Career Growth : Choose your path. Stay on the technical track and become a highly paid subject matter expert (SME), or branch into program management, systems engineering, leadership, or other roles as your career evolves. Flexible Schedule : You'll have a great deal of flexibility around your hours. Some engineers work a traditional 8-5 schedule, others prefer a four 10‑hour days and take Fridays off, and some prefer to arrive for a later start (after lunch) and work into the evening. The focus is on results, not clock‑watching. Culture : A low‑drama, independent work environment where engineers are trusted to get things done. Collaboration is encouraged, but you'll also have the autonomy to own your work and make an impact. Competitive Package : Salary target $135-160K+ depending on experience + annual bonus, 4 weeks PTO to start, 11 holidays, relocation support, and comprehensive benefits. Mission‑Driven Work : Contribute to technology that supports national security and makes a real impact.
