We will conduct interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish.
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop the firmware, FPGA logic, and embedded software that drive Array’s radar payloads and on-orbit processing systems. Your work could include writing and maintaining C/C++ firmware for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices, designing FPGA modules for high-throughput sensing and data movement, or building Linux-based embedded systems using PetaLinux and Yocto, collaborating closely with digital, RF, signal processing, and systems engineers to deliver reliable, high-performance embedded solutions. The software and FPGA architectures you build will directly influence radar timing, data integrity, processing throughput, and system reliability on orbit.
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.
- Support the design and implementation of FPGA modules for reliable, high-throughput data movement
- Participate in building and maintaining Linux-based embedded systems using tools such as PetaLinux or Yocto
- Contribute to bring-up and integration of FPGA-based platforms, including Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs
- Collaborate across digital, RF, signal processing, and systems teams to evaluate performance, debug issues, and refine embedded architectures
- Develop embedded software and firmware that support Array’s radar sensors, communication links, and satellite systems
- Create automation, diagnostic, and test tools in Python to accelerate development and validation
