Senior Embedded Software Engineer - UAV Datalink (Linux / FPGA)

* Must have - technical
● 5+ years embedded Linux experience (BSP + kernel drivers) on ARM SoCs
● Strong C/C++ and Linux kernel internals
● Strong software / system architecture skills
● Comfortable with cross-compilation, embedded toolchains, and debugging on real hardware
* How you work (just as important as the tech)
● Self-direction in ambiguity - turn vague goals into concrete plans, own a slice end-to-end, and follow through
● Judgment & verification discipline - ground decisions in evidence (measurement, source, tests) and catch subtle errors instead of trusting plausible-looking output
● AI leverage with discipline - use AI tools to move faster while knowing their limits and verifying what they produce
● Cross-team communication - define clean interfaces with the hardware team, ask sharp questions, write clear design docs, disagree constructively
● Fast learner across unfamiliar domains - SDR, RF, FPGA, kernel
● Pragmatic - prioritize, de-risk early, avoid over-engineering, ship in increments
* Nice to have
● Embedded Linux on FPGA SoC platforms
● Linux networking / wireless stack
● Baseband / PHY knowledge relevant to a UAV datalink (OFDM, modulation, channel coding, link adaptation)
