we are looking for a Embedded Software Group Lead- Interceptor Systems.
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.
Requirements: Embedded & Flight Systems
Expertise in C/C++ for hard real-time environments.
Deep experience with RTOS.
Understanding of subcomponent algorithms and implementation in embedded HW.
Hands-on experience with communication bus protocols: CAN bus, MIL-STD-1553, SPI, and Ethernet.
Ground Station & C2 (Command and Control)
Architecture of distributed systems for mission monitoring and threat evaluation.
Implementation of low-latency data visualization and geospatial situational awareness.
Expertise in secure, jam-resistant RF data links and network protocols.
Experience deploying distributed systems on containerized environments (Kubernetes, Docker) for scalable mission-critical workloads.
Modern AI & Software Tooling
AI Mastery: Proven track record of adopting AI agentic tools to modernize legacy systems, document complex architectures, and create a rapid delivery environment.
DevOps for Defense: Implementation of CI/CD pipelines tailored for embedded systems, including automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
System-Level Integration
Experience with Sensor Fusion (Radar, EO/IR, IMU) and target tracking.
Knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks for defense-grade software (e.g., MISRA C/C++).
Qualifications:
Experience: 8+ years in software engineering, with at least 3 years in a leadership role within the aerospace, defense, or robotics sectors.
Project History: Direct experience in the development of UAVs, missiles, or autonomous kinetic systems.
Education: B.Sc./M.Sc. in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
This position is open to all candidates.
