Avionics Embedded Software Engineer Location: Hawthorne, CA $180,000 - $200,000 A cutting-edge aerospace company is developing a full-stack solution for commercial-scale rocket propellant production beyond Earth. This technology is one of the key enablers for human expansion into space. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working closely with hardware, and love solving complex technical challenges, this role is for you! Role Overview: As an
Avionics Embedded Software Engineer , you will develop embedded software for spacecraft hardware. You will balance cost, speed, and performance trade-offs while driving your systems from prototyping through production and surface operations. Key Responsibilities: Own the development of embedded software from concept to deployment in extreme environments. Write efficient, reliable, and maintainable code for spacefaring hardware. Participate in system architecture, design, and code reviews. Develop sensor and actuator drivers, telemetry systems, command and control interfaces, and process management systems. Integrate GNC/Autonomy algorithms into custom hardware. Design and implement SIL and HIL test frameworks with a focus on both speed and reliability. Required Qualifications: Proficiency in
Python
and
C, C++, or Rust . Degree in
Computer Science, Electrical Engineering , or related field, OR significant professional experience designing embedded systems. 2+ years of experience in embedded system design and development. Strong understanding of
computer architecture, operating systems, data structures, and networking . Experience developing embedded systems for
aerospace, automotive, or robotics applications . Familiarity with
Embedded Linux or Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) . Excellent communication skills and a track record of engineering excellence. Passion for advancing human space exploration. Preferred Qualifications: Hands-on experience developing, debugging, and deploying embedded software in real-world systems. Experience in
agile development environments . Professional experience in
technical leadership roles . Ability to develop software on rapid timelines and take full ownership of deliverables. Self-motivated with high productivity and problem-solving skills. This is an opportunity to work on breakthrough space technology with a highly skilled team. If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of spaceflight, we'd love to hear from you!

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.
