Are you an experienced embedded software engineer with a background in guidance systems, real-time hardware integration, and computer vision
A stealth-mode aerospace venture is developing a next-generation air vehicle system with advanced guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) capabilities. We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer to drive development across mission-critical systems.
What You'll Be Working On
- Leading embedded software development for flight systems including guidance, navigation, and targeting
- Integrating real-time software with sensors, actuators, and safety subsystems
- Collaborating with GNC engineers to implement and optimize guidance algorithms
- Deploying computer vision models (target tracking, image recognition) using modern ML/AI frameworks
- Running HWIL simulations and working across comms protocols to ensure subsystem performance
- Acting as the technical glue between flight software, mission systems, and seeker data
What We're Looking For
- Strong background in embedded C/C software for aerospace or defense systems
- Deep experience with guidance systems in missile, UAV, or similar flight environments
- Familiarity with MATLAB-generated C code and real-time flight processors
- Proficiency with computer vision tools like OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch
- Comfortable deploying ML models in low-latency, limited-resource environments
- Hands-on and independent - someone who can "roll up their sleeves" and own complex technical problems
- Must be a US Citizen
Why This Role?
- Critical role in a high-stakes engineering environment
- Close collaboration with leading experts in GNC and aerospace systems
- High degree of autonomy and technical ownership
- Flexible working arrangements and competitive compensation
