Embedded Software Team The Embedded Software team develops software that merges hardware, operating systems, and applications for cutting‑edge unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Embedded Software engineers collaborate with electrical engineers, systems engineers, and the autonomy team to design and develop custom PCBs and systems that support modern aerospace sensors, state‑of‑the‑art UAV avionics, and groundbreaking AI applications.
Responsibilities As a member of the Embedded Software team, you will be responsible for software bring‑up on custom electronic boards and systems, integration of new operating systems and writing of drivers for a variety of sensors and interfaces, designing and developing applications to provide flight control, navigation, vehicle health, and AI‑driven autonomous control of various autonomous robotic vehicles.
What you’ll do
Develop firmware in C++ to interface with new sensors and control flight‑critical components
Create software for system diagnostics and testing
Research, design, and implement state‑of‑the‑art network‑centric software applications, taking ideas from conception to field deployment
Prototype and bring up new hardware platforms
Develop novel and efficient solutions in domains such as motor control, radio communications, and vehicle networking
Required qualifications
Minimum of 2 years of related experience with a bachelor’s degree; or 0 years and a master’s degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience.
Bachelor’s in CS, CE, EE, or relevant experience.
Strong C/C++ background.
Experience in bare‑metal firmware development for embedded systems.
Experience in a collaborative development environment, focused on continuous integration/delivery and unit testing to assure software quality.
Familiarity with common version control (git) and build systems (CMake or similar).
Demonstrated record of working hard, strong communication skills, being a trustworthy teammate, and being kind to others.
Preferred qualifications
4+ years professional avionics software development experience.
Experience in Linux kernel or RTOS development—device trees and bring‑up on new hardware.
Experience working on safety‑critical applications in a regulated industry (civil aviation, automotive, etc.).
Compensation Annual salary range: $128,446 – $192,668, plus bonus, benefits, and equity.
Equal Opportunity Employment Shield AI is proud to be an equal‑opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.
