The Role
The
Software Engineer
will play a critical role in developing our autonomous defense systems. You will be responsible for designing, building, and optimizing
mission-critical applications , with a focus on
real-time performance, reliability, and security . This role demands
technical excellence, adaptability, and ownership , as you will work across the full software stack to develop and deploy
high-performance systems
in a fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities Develop, test, and maintain
software for autonomous defense platforms , ensuring high performance, reliability, and security. Design and implement
efficient, well-tested code
in
C++, Rust, Python, or C
to power real-time systems. Architect
end-to-end software solutions , from
low-level firmware to high-level mission software . Work closely with
embedded engineers, GNC specialists, and systems engineers
to ensure seamless hardware-software integration. Optimize software for real-time execution , ensuring low-latency operation on embedded platforms and edge computing systems. Implement
secure coding practices , ensuring software is resilient to cyber threats and meets defense cybersecurity standards. Utilize
DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing
to streamline software development and deployment. Troubleshoot, debug, and refine complex software systems, ensuring they meet
mission-critical reliability requirements . Identify
opportunities for optimization
and proactively propose solutions that enhance system efficiency and performance. Contribute to
agile development processes , effectively communicating risks, blockers, and technical challenges to the broader team. Required Qualifications
Proficiency in
C++, Rust, Python, or C , with the ability to write
clean, well-tested, and efficient code . Experience implementing a
large (>10,000 line) project , from architecture to deployment. Strong understanding of
real-time software development, embedded systems, and performance optimization . Ability to
execute in a fast-paced, high-iteration environment , often shipping software multiple times per day. Strong grasp of the
full software development lifecycle , including design, development, deployment, and support. Demonstrated
extreme ownership
and ability to operate
autonomously , driving projects to completion with minimal oversight. Experience working with
low-level hardware interfaces
and optimizing software for real-time applications. Ability to
work on-site
in Huntington Beach, CA. Preferred Qualifications
Significant experience in
Rust , including
embedded Rust
with Embassy. Experience developing
software for autonomous systems, robotics, or aerospace applications . Hands-on experience with
microcontrollers, I²C, or real-time operating systems (RTOS) . Familiarity with
sensor fusion, state estimation, or GNC systems . Experience
modeling flight vehicle dynamics
in highly integrated cross-disciplinary simulations. Strong background in
firmware development and testing
for embedded systems.
