About the role

  • You will work across hardware, firmware, and real-time software systems while collaborating directly with electrical, controls, and mechanical engineers.
  • No handoff layer between hardware and software.
  • Avionics sits on the critical path for every flight test, so the team's velocity sets the program's pace.

Responsibilities

  • Develop embedded avionics software in C/C++ and Rust.
  • Design real-time software architectures for flight systems.
  • Develop software for power systems, telemetry, control systems, and onboard computing.
  • Write the embedded servo firmware for the fin actuators: current loop, position loop, commutation, command interface, and fault handling. Implement to the Control Actuation Engineer's control law spec
  • Support hardware bring-up, integration testing, and flight operations.
  • Build robust testing and simulation frameworks.
  • Optimize performance, reliability, and fault tolerance of embedded systems.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams.

Requirements

  • A clearance is not required for this position.
  • Must be a U.S. Person.
  • Experience with aerospace, automotive, robotics, or autonomous systems.
  • Experience with DO-178 or safety-critical software processes.
  • Experience with telemetry, flight controls, or navigation systems.

Skills

  • BS/MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 5+ years of embedded software development experience.
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++.
  • Experience with real-time systems and embedded Linux or RTOS environments.
  • Experience debugging hardware/software interactions.
  • Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, and Ethernet.
  • Strong systems-level thinking and troubleshooting ability.

Compensation

  • America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year.
  • Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost-effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles.
  • We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.
