About the role:

We need an embedded software engineer who can work across firmware and hardware. This is not a pure software role - the candidate will use oscilloscopes, read schematics, and debug board-level issues alongside writing C code.

What you'll do:

You'll be part of our growing Software Engineering team by building and scaling our web-based telemetry and diagnostics platform—our window into the performance of next-generation motor controllers and electromechanical systems.
You'll work with a passionate team of firmware, hardware, and systems engineers to build tools that bridge embedded systems with intuitive, real-time interfaces.

  • Develop and scale our web application
  • Create intuitive data visualizations for real-time and historical motor telemetry
  • Design and maintain scalable backend APIs and data pipelines to support diagnostics and remote logging features
  • Work closely with embedded engineers to define protocols and telemetry schema
  • Ensure our tools are robust, responsive, and easy to use across devices and platforms
  • Own features end-to-end—from concept and design to deployment and ongoing iteration
  • Collaborate with designers to bring clean and thoughtful UI/UX to life
  • Drive the software development process by contributing to system architecture, documentation, and requirements
  • Partner with mechanical and hardware engineers to design and implement system-level qualification and development tests
  • Architect and deploy test fixtures and automated test infrastructure
  • Develop data analysis pipelines and pass/fail criteria for hardware validation

What you need:

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
  • 2+ years as a software engineer with frontend and backend experience, ideally in a product-focused environment
  • Strong experience with TypeScript and React
  • Experience with Electron desktop application development
  • Experience with Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Functions)
  • Solid backend experience using Node.js or Python; Python experience for test scripting and data analysis is a plus
  • Experience designing and building REST or WebSocket APIs
  • Experience working with real-time data, time-series databases, or
  • WebSocket streams
  • Familiarity with Figma and experience collaborating closely with designers
  • Strong UX instincts and a passion for building clean, usable interfaces
  • A bias for action—you like to take ownership and move fas

Nice to haves:

  • Experience building UI dashboards for hardware systems
  • Experience with DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, or Vite
  • Familiarity with WebHID/WebUSB or binary protocol communication with hardware devices
  • A hacker's mindset: curious, resourceful, and always looking to improve tools

What we have to offer:

We are not just building components. We are reshaping the future of the Aerospace and Defense component industry, which is a $300B+ market! Come join us and help build next generation systems that will make a massive impact at global scale.

  • We offer competitive compensation: $130,000 to $160,000 base salary + equity
  • Exceptional healthcare benefits, Medical is 100% covered by the company
  • Flexible PTO
  • 401K
  • More to come!
