Motion Recruitment My client is engineering the next generation of space communications—building software-defined radios that power satellite systems and lunar missions. Their embedded systems team is focused on delivering robust, low-level software that bridges custom hardware with high-performance signal processing—under extreme conditions. In this fast-paced R&D environment, developers don’t just write code—they shape systems that will operate in orbit and beyond.
They’re looking for a
Senior Embedded Linux Developer
who can lead the charge in bringing up custom boards, configuring kernels, and developing device drivers and multi-threaded applications. You’ll work hands-on with C/C++, Linux, and low-level interfaces like I2C, SPI, and UART, with additional opportunities to contribute in Python or MATLAB for tooling and automation. Experience with embedded Linux, socket programming, and kernel-level development is essential. If you thrive at the intersection of software and silicon—and want your work to fly (literally)—this is the role for you.
Core Requirements
Proficiency in C/C++ Strong experience with Embedded Linux development. 3 years+ Comfortable with driver-level interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART) Skilled in Linux kernel configuration and custom board bring-up Experience with socket programming and multi-threaded application development Python and/or MATLAB for scripting and support tools B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
Nice to Have
Experience working in satellite communications, aerospace, or defense systems Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) Prior involvement in hardware/software integration
