Candidates should live within driving distance of the following areas: Wichita, KS; Lawton, OK; or Round Rock, TX.
Job Purpose/Summary
Lead the implementation of embedded signal processing pipelines for real-time UAV RF detection and classification. This role will focus on developing, deploying, and optimizing containerized DSP and ML models on edge devices. It is central to the mission of enabling intelligent, low-latency threat detection in contested RF environments.
Duties and Responsibilities
- Implement real-time RF signal processing algorithms for detection and classification of UAVemissions.
- Develop embedded DSP code and ML model integration for edge devices using SoC/CPU/GPU platforms.
- Collaborate with AI/ML teams to containerize detection models and optimize inference at the edge.
- Tune signal processing pipelines for multi-band detection (433 MHz – 5.8 GHz).
- Optimize code for performance under constrained memory, power, and compute.
- Support system-level integration and testing of the embedded detection stack.
Qualifications
Minimum
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 3+ years experience in DSP or embedded software development
- Proficiency in C/C++, Python, and tools like GNU Radio, SoapySDR, or SDR frameworks
- Experience working with RF signals, SDRs, or time/frequency-domain processing
- Familiarity with Linux-based embedded systems
Desired
- Experience deploying containerized models to edge compute platforms (Jetson, Raspberry Pi, etc.)
- Familiarity with UAV/UAS signaling is a plus
- Familiarity with anomaly detection or signal classification ML methods
- Experience with OTA update mechanisms and field reliability
- Security clearance or ability to obtain one
Working conditions
- Candidates should live within driving distance of the following areas: Wichita, KS; Lawton, OK; or Round Rock, TX.
- This position is remote with occasional in-person meetings as needed.
- This position may occasionally require travel (less than 10% time).

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
