board bring-up
linux platform
system debugging
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop the embedded software that enables Array’s radar sensors, communication links, and flight systems to operate reliably in orbit. Your work will include board bring-up of Linux-based platforms, high-performance data movement between sensors and compute elements, integration with FPGA and RF subsystems, and the development of safety-critical control and FDIR algorithms.
We will conduct three interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish.
As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in building the world’s most advanced radar satellite constellation—one that will significantly improve humanity’s ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet.
You will collaborate closely with signal processing, hardware, and GNC engineers to prototype, evaluate, and deploy software architectures that meet demanding latency, throughput, and reliability requirements. The software you build will directly influence radar performance, system robustness, and mission resilience on orbit.
- Develop safety-critical system-level software for hardware components and develop FDIR (fault detection, isolation, and recovery) algorithms for mission-critical systems
- Implement high-efficiency data movement between our radar sensor, FPGA fabric, microprocessors, networking interfaces, and storage peripherals
- Board bring-up of a Linux-based platform that integrates radar sensors, flight computers, RF transceivers, and navigation sensors
- Develop highly reliable and available software systems for our low-latency, high-capacity radar sensor, communication system, and flight control system
- Work collaboratively with signal processing, hardware, and GNC engineers to build performant and reliable embedded software for our payload
- Debug complex, system-level, multi-component issues that typically span across multiple layers from kernel to driver to application
