Senior Embedded Software Engineer (Linux/UAV)

Job description

We’re building a custom high-performance wireless datalink for UAVs — a greenfield project moving from COTS prototyping toward custom silicon. You’ll own the embedded Linux software stack and work side-by-side with our FPGA/RF team. On a project building something new from the ground up, how you work matters as much as what you know.

What you’ll do

• Propose and evaluate solution options — architecture, interfaces, trade-offs — and drive the design, not just implement to spec
• Develop Linux kernel drivers (netdev, DMA, hardware register interface) and userspace daemons for link control, configuration, and telemetry
• Prototype approaches early to validate before committing to a design Integrate with the FPGA team; define and own the driver- hardware interface
• Test and validate: write tests, measure real behavior (latency, throughput, error rates), and verify against requirements

Your skills and experience

Must have — technical

• 5+ years embedded Linux experience (BSP + kernel drivers) on ARM SoCs
• Strong C/C++ and Linux kernel internals
• Strong software / system architecture skills
• Comfortable with cross-compilation, embedded toolchains, and debugging on real hardware

How you work (just as important as the tech)

• Self-direction in ambiguity — turn vague goals into concrete plans, own a slice end-to-end, and follow through
• Judgment & verification discipline — ground decisions in evidence (measurement, source, tests) and catch subtle errors instead of trusting plausible-looking output
• AI leverage with discipline — use AI tools to move faster while knowing their limits and verifying what they produce
• Cross-team communication — define clean interfaces with the hardware team, ask sharp questions, write clear design docs, disagree constructively
• Fast learner across unfamiliar domains — SDR, RF, FPGA, kernel
• Pragmatic — prioritize, de-risk early, avoid over-engineering, ship in increments

Nice to have

• Embedded Linux on FPGA SoC platforms
• Linux networking / wireless stack
• Baseband / PHY knowledge relevant to a UAV datalink (OFDM, modulation, channel coding, link adaptation)

Why you’ll love working here

.- Young, creative and dynamic working environment.

• Competitive income.

• Full coverage of insurance.

• Professional training.

• Opportunity for professional growth and development.

• Bonus according to capacity.
