Junior Embedded Software Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for spacecraft C&DH systems.
• Develop low-level firmware and board support packages (BSP) for microcontrollers, SoCs, and FPGA-integrated systems.
• Implement real-time software architectures using Bare Metal and RTOS environments.
• Develop and optimize Embedded Linux applications, drivers, and middleware.
• Work on communication interfaces and protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, SpaceWire, and CCSDS-based interfaces.
• Implement low-level drivers for microcontrollers and SoCs (ADC, PWM, GPIO, Timers, RTC, Flash, EEPROM, etc.).
• Develop telemetry, telecommand, fault management, watchdog, bootloader, and health-monitoring software.
• Perform debugging, profiling, and performance optimization on target hardware.
• Support hardware bring-up, system integration, environmental testing, and mission operations.
• Contribute to software architecture, coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and verification activities.
• Collaborate closely with avionics, FPGA, systems, and mission operations teams.

Requirements

• Strong programming expertise in C/C++ for embedded systems.
• Strong understanding of MCU architecture (ARM Cortex-M/A/R or RISC-V, etc.).
• Memory (stack/heap, static allocation, alignment, DMA coherency/caches if relevant).
• Bare Metal firmware development.
• RTOS concepts (task scheduling, synchronization, IPC, memory management).
• Embedded Linux internals and driver/application development.
• Experience with one or more RTOS like FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX.
• Experience in Linux-based embedded systems like Device drivers, Kernel/user-space interaction, Build systems (Yocto/Buildroot), Scripting experience in Python or Perl.
• Strong debugging skills using JTAG, GDB, Logic analyzers and Oscilloscope.
• Experience with communication protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe.
• Understanding software reliability, fault tolerance, and safety-critical system design.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor/Masters degree in Electronics, Embedded Systems, Computer Science, VLSI, or related field.
• 2-4 years of experience in embedded software or flight software development.
• Experience in aerospace, satellite, defense, robotics, or autonomous systems.
• Knowledge of spacecraft onboard software architecture and mission operations.
• Familiarity with CCSDS, ECSS, or DO-178 development practices.
• Exposure to AI accelerators, edge computing, or high-speed data handling systems.

Who We’re Looking For:

• Strong systems-level thinking with ownership mindset.
• Able to debug hardware independently - software integration issues.
• Comfortable working in fast-paced R&D or space-tech environments.
• Passionate about building reliable real-time systems for mission-critical applications.
