Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer (Long Range Platform)

Join our team as a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer for the Long Range Platform. In this role, you will be responsible for low-level and edge software that ensures the safety, reliability, and operability of our long-range aircraft. You will work at the hardware/software boundary, owning flight- and safety-critical embedded stacks and the diagnostics and validation infrastructure. Your work will directly impact aircraft reliability, mission completion rate, and field-maintenance load across a distributed fleet. You will collaborate closely with various teams and have the opportunity to make a significant impact in the aviation industry.

• Posséder et être responsable de l'architecture, de la conception, de l'implémentation et de la production de systèmes embarqués critiques pour la sécurité.
• Définir et expédier des résultats mesurables en matière de fiabilité et d'observabilité, et diriger la validation des changements introduits.
• Collaborer étroitement avec les équipes d'ingénierie avionique, de systèmes, de fabrication et d'opérations de vol pour établir des frontières d'intégration.
• We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth
• We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds
• Debugging & hardware bring-up: demonstrated ability to read schematics, bring up peripherals from datasheets, and debug hardware/software interaction using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and in-field telemetry
• Ownership & outcomes: history of owning subsystem delivery end-to-end, shipping repeatable test suites, and meeting quantified reliability targets (provide examples in interview)
• Must-have technical skills: substantial systems-level experience shipping embedded production code in C++ or Rust; strong familiarity with Python for test/telemetry tooling. Experience with bare-metal and RTOS environments is required; experience with embedded linux is nice to have
