Embedded Software Engineer
SR2 | Socially Responsible Recruitment | Certified B Corporation™, Austin, TX, United States
Autonomous Systems | Robotics | Defense Technology
Overview
We’re partnering with a venture-backed defense technology startup developing next-generation autonomous systems designed to operate in complex, real-world environments.
The team is building advanced platforms that combine
embedded systems, control, and perception technologies
to detect, track, and respond to fast-moving aerial threats. This is a highly technical, hands-on environment focused on
performance, reliability, and real-world deployment .
What You’ll Be Doing
Design and develop
real-time embedded software
in C++ for high-performance control systems
Translate hardware requirements into
robust firmware and system-level solutions
Interpret datasheets and contribute to
schematic design for microcontroller-based systems
Test, debug, and optimise firmware in both
lab and real-world environments
Improve system performance, including
latency, efficiency, and power consumption
Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to
integrate full system functionality
Produce clear technical documentation (architecture, pseudocode, schematics, test plans)
What We’re Looking For
3+ years of experience in
embedded firmware development and electrical system design
Strong proficiency in
C++ for embedded systems , plus working knowledge of Python
Experience working with
microcontroller-based systems , including sensors, actuators, and control logic
Hands-on experience with
real-time or safety-critical systems (robotics, autonomy, or similar)
Understanding of
testing, validation, and debugging in hardware-constrained environments
Ability to work across hardware and software boundaries in a
cross-functional engineering team
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
Nice to Have
Experience with
embedded Linux or RTOS environments
Familiarity with
communication protocols
(CAN, UART, I2C, TCP/IP, UDP)
Experience optimising systems for
low latency and constrained compute environments
Exposure to
power electronics, motor control, or robotics systems
What’s On Offer
Competitive salary + equity
Full benefits package (health, dental, vision)
Paid time off
Opportunity to work on
cutting-edge autonomous systems with real-world impact
