This is a full-time position located at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts.
The Radar Engineer will provide specialized radar engineering expertise to support the design, operation, modernization, and sustainment of radar systems throughout the entire acquisition life cycle—from requirements analysis to system disposal. This role will involve performance evaluations, design analysis, modernization planning, and engineering support for both domestic programs and Foreign Military Sales. The candidate will contribute to system architecture, acquisition processes, and technical management to ensure mission readiness and capability enhancements.
Essential Job Functions
- Develop design concepts, conduct performance evaluations, and analyze system metrics for radar systems.
- Provide technical expertise in evaluating design alternatives and advising on modernization sequencing and mission improvements.
- Conduct system engineering analysis to assess aging hardware and recommend subsystem/component upgrades or modifications.
- Identify optimal approaches for system upgrades, capability gap resolutions, and threat scenario validations.
- Develop and validate radar performance, refine system requirements, and support regression testing.
- Conduct and support engineering and technical activities through all acquisition phases (Material Solution Analysis, Technology
- Development, Engineering & Manufacturing Development, Production & Deployment, Operations & Support).
- Prepare engineering documentation such as Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), Systems Engineering Plans (SEP), and related artifacts.
- Participate in technical reviews, assessments, and interchange meetings (e.g., CDR, MRA, TIM).
- Perform system design feasibility studies, architecture documentation, deficiency identification, and solution planning, including Model- Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) processes.
- Ensure interoperability and maintain baselined system architecture requirements.
- Translate DoD user requirements into system specifications and provide engineering analysis of training equipment and simulator requirements.
- Apply DoD acquisition and sustainment systems engineering processes across the product life cycle.
- Prepare, review, and optimize program specifications, simulation models, MBSE outputs, and digital engineering analyses to enhance performance.
- Support milestone reviews, certifications, and periodic reporting in compliance with DoD/USAF acquisition policy.
- Review contractor drawings for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with ASME Technical Data Package standards.
- Support requirements definition, architecture design, implementation, integration, verification/validation, risk management, and configuration management.
- Conduct market research and trade studies to assess emerging systems against mission needs.
- Evaluate system cost, schedule, and performance; perform root cause analyses, audits, and technical assessments.
- Develop Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMP), test procedures, readiness reviews, and execute developmental testing.
- Participate in integrated logistics support (ILS), provisioning, maintenance data collection, technical order management, and alternate sourcing for diminishing manufacturing/materiel sources (DMSMS).

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.
