We are seeking a Embedded Systems Software Architect to own the technical direction of our embedded software platforms. This role combines hands-on development, system architecture, and technical leadership, guiding a team of embedded engineers while ensuring high-quality, scalable, and reliable software across current and future products.
You will act as the technical authority for embedded software, working closely with hardware, systems, and product stakeholders to translate requirements into robust software solutions.
What will your job look like?
Lead the technical direction and architecture of embedded software platforms across middleware and application layers.
Serve as the technical authority for embedded software, combining hands-on C/C++ development with system-level ownership.
Design scalable, modular software architectures and define clear interfaces between hardware, OS services, middleware, and application software.
Drive key technical decisions, architectural trade-offs, and long-term roadmap.
Develop and integrate middleware and application-layer components, including multi-threaded and real-time logic.
Lead design reviews, mentor embedded software engineers, and promote high coding and architectural standards.
Take ownership of complex system-level debugging, performance optimization, and software quality.
Work closely with OS, systems, product, QA, and manufacturing teams to translate product requirements into robust technical solutions.

As the Software Group Lead, you will be the primary architect and execution lead for a cutting-edge missile interceptor system. This is a high-stakes executive role requiring a rare blend of low-latency Embedded engineering and high-level Command & Control (C2) orchestration. You will be responsible for building a multi-disciplinary software team from the ground up, defining the software lifecycle, and ensuring the seamless integration of missile subassemblies with ground-based mission control. We are looking for a "builder" mentality, capable of switching between high-level architectural strategy and driving end-to-end delivery from concept to field deployment.
Why Join us?:
This is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of a defense-tech startup during its most exciting growth phase! The SW Group Lead will report directly to the CTO and act as a member of the company's leadership.
Responsibilities:
Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and manage a high-performance team of Embedded, Full-Stack, and GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) engineers. system Architecture: Design the end-to-end software stack, from Real-Time operating systems (RTOS) on the interceptor to the distributed microservices of the ground station. Execution & Integration: Oversee the development of flight software, sensor fusion algorithms, and secure communication protocols between the interceptor and C2. AI-Driven SDLC: Implement and champion the use of modern AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) across the entire software lifecycle to accelerate development cycles without compromising safety-critical standards. Strategic Oversight: Align software milestones with hardware integration, testing phases (HIL/SIL), and field trials. Key Interfaces: Works closely with Hardware Engineering leads (mechanical, electrical, GNC), Program Management, and Systems Engineering teams internally; externally interfaces with defense customers, government program offices, and key technology vendors.
