Overview

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionArray Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world. We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth - updated in real time - enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence. We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world's most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they're needed most. About the Job As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop the embedded software that enables Array's radar sensors, communication links, and flight systems to operate reliably in orbit. Your work will include board bring-up of Linux-based platforms, high-performance data movement between sensors and compute elements, integration with FPGA and RF subsystems, and the development of safety-critical control and FDIR algorithms. You will collaborate closely with signal processing, hardware, and GNC engineers to prototype, evaluate, and deploy software architectures that meet demanding latency, throughput, and reliability requirements. The software you build will directly influence radar performance, system robustness, and mission resilience on orbit. As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in the design of the world's most advanced radar satellite constellation-one that will significantly improve humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet. Responsibilities: Develop highly reliable and available software systems for our low-latency, high-capacity radar sensor, communication system, and flight control systemBoard bring-up of a Linux-based platform that integrates radar sensors, flight computers, RF transceivers, and navigation sensorsWork collaboratively with signal processing, hardware, and GNC engineers to build performant and reliable embedded software for our payloadRapid prototyping and evaluation of key architectural choices and design constraintsImplement high-efficiency data movement between our radar sensor, FPGA fabric, microprocessors, networking interfaces, and storage peripherals.Develop safety-critical system-level software for hardware components and develop FDIR (fault detection, isolation, and recovery) algorithms for mission-critical systemsDebug complex, system-level, multi-component issues that typically span across multiple layers from kernel to driver to application Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field4+ years of embedded software experienceGood understanding of Embedded Systems and OS concepts (Linux/RTOS).Experience in one or more of the following areas: BSP/Board Support Package, Operating Systems, RTOS, Bootloader, Power Management, Linux, MCU (Microcontroller).Excellent teamwork and communication skillsLearns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed mannerHigh levels of self-motivation and personal accountabilityAbility to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraintsExperience programming in C or C++ in embedded environments and in Python to support development, automation, and testing. Preferred Skills and Experience: Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fieldExperience with aerospace or space projects (flight control/GNC)Experience in the automotive, medical robotics, or similar regulated embedded device industry with a focus on safety and high availabilityGood understanding of multi-threaded embedded system concepts including tasks, priorities, and deadlocks Embedded software debugging experience including clock-level issues, b
