What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and maintain embedded software that runs close to hardware on flight and ground systems.
  • Implement real time software on Embedded Linux, RTOS, or bare metal platforms, with a focus on determinism, reliability, and performance.
  • Develop and maintain low level drivers, interfaces, and middleware for sensors, actuators, and avionics hardware.
  • Write high quality C and/or C++ code that meets the demands of safety critical, high performance systems.
  • Work closely with electronics, avionics, and systems engineers to co-design hardware and software interfaces.
  • Support integration, debugging, and testing on real hardware, including bring up, fault isolation, and performance tuning.
  • Where useful, leverage model based design and code generation (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink) to accelerate development and reduce error.
  • Contribute to FPGA adjacent development or VHDL based workflows where they interface with embedded software.

Who you are

  • An embedded software engineer with 3+ years’ experience working close to hardware in aerospace, defence, or similarly demanding systems.
  • Comfortable developing on Embedded Linux, RTOS, or bare-metal platforms, with a strong intuition for timing, determinism, and resource constraints.
  • Fluent in C and/or C++, with a focus on correctness, clarity, and long-term maintainability.
  • Someone who enjoys debugging on real hardware, not just in simulation or abstraction layers.
  • Experienced collaborating tightly with electronics and avionics engineers, and shaping interfaces rather than just consuming them.
  • Pragmatic about tools, open to model-based development where it accelerates delivery without obscuring behaviour.
  • Curious about FPGA-adjacent workflows and comfortable interfacing with low-level logic when required.
  • Motivated by building flight-critical software in a small team where your code directly affects system behaviour.

What we offer

  • A mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.
  • Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.
  • High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.
  • A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.
  • A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.
  • Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.
