Job Description

Job Title: Senior Embedded Systems Software Engineer
Location: Irvine, CA (100% Onsite)
We re seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Software Engineer with strong systems intuition and a passion for building robust, safety-critical control software. This role sits at the intersection of embedded platform software, and system-level control logic owning the supervisory control
layers that coordinate actuators, motor drives, and flight-level systems. You will architect and implement system control logic, state machines, sequencing, diagnostics,
and communication interfaces that ensure safe, deterministic operation across complex aerospace systems. While this role interfaces closely with actuator control, BMS, and vehicle
control software, its primary focus is system behavior, integration, and correctness not fast inner-loop control.
Required Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience developing embedded control software for complex real-time systems
  • Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time software architecture
  • Experience designing system-level control logic, state machines, and sequencing
  • Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN (and derivatives), SPI,
  • Ethernet, or ARINC (825/664)
  • Experience with model-based design tools (MATLAB/Simulink) and SIL/HIL testing
  • Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware, firmware, and system
  • boundaries
  • Strong analytical skills and system-level problem-solving ability
Preferred / Bonus Experience:
  • Experience with TI C2000, NXP, or similar real-time control microcontrollers
  • Prior work on safety-critical or regulated systems (aerospace, automotive, industrial)
  • Exposure to certification-oriented development processes (DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, ISO
  • 26262 concepts)
  • Experience defining software architectures and development processes for growing teams
  • Background spanning motor control, BMS, or vehicle control systems
  • Experience supporting production launch, field issues, and system-level validation
