Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software EngineerHawthorne, CA$100K–$180KPermanentAbout the CompanyThey are enriching uranium in America. Their goal is to design, build, and operate the world's lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States. Their mission is to restore America's ability to produce nuclear fuel—fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors.About This RoleAs an Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop performant, safe and high-quality software to directly control our systems. Your code will be responsible for commanding actuators and processing high-speed signals in applications where safety and accuracy are exceedingly important. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, manufacturing engineers, nuclear engineers, materials scientists and physicists. If you seek high-impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to reach out to join our team.ResponsibilitiesDevelop functionally safe and scalable architecturesDevelop control and data acquisition firmware in low-level languages for safety critical and fault-tolerant applications (C/C++, Rust, PLC programming)Support integrated system testing; develop and maintain build, test, and deployment toolsCreate and conduct safety analysis for state machines responsible for actuator controlDebug embedded systems using electrical test equipment (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, etc.)Basic QualificationsEvidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc.)Strong understanding of engineering fundamentalsAbility to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial informationBS degree in computer science, engineering, math, or a STEM discipline and 5+ years of professional experienceDevelopment experience in C, C++, Golang, Python or RustExperience with embedded or low-level systems developmentPreferred Skills and ExperienceData acquisition system setup, maintenance, and developmentElectrical hardware troubleshooting and assistance in PCBA bring-upSignal processingLow-level communication protocol debuggingPLC/SCADA system programming experienceSecurity analysis and threat modelingExperience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraintsAdditional RequirementsAbility to work extended hours and weekends as necessary
