Technical Tools
EngineeringEmbedded Engineer

We're building a small, safety-critical kinetic munition delivered by an FPV-class airframe. The compute side is an electro mechanical safe and arm device (EMSAD).

The current codebase is Rust-on-Embassy, but we're language-agnostic on the role — strong C, C++, or Rust embedded engineers are equally welcome.

Responsibilities

~1 min read

Own firmware end-to-end: drivers, state machine, communication protocols, command surface, bring-up, qualification, OTA / programming flow.

Build the host-testable simulation surface. The state machine should be testable on a laptop without flashing a board — and stay that way.

Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the HW engineer on bring-up, register-map ergonomics, and timing.

Carry the firmware through environmental qualification (thermal, EMC, vibration).

Define and enforce the firmware-side safety case.

5+ years of professional embedded firmware on ARM Cortex-M (or comparable) — in C, C++, or Rust.

Deep comfort with interrupts, DMA, clocks, timers, low-power modes, linker scripts, memory maps.

Strong with I²C, SPI, UART, USB CDC and debugging using scope / logic analyzer.

Experience building state machines for real-world hardware.

Discipline around testability and host testing.

Working English, written and verbal.
