Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

AIRMO is looking for a hands-on, talented Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own the design, development, and maintenance of next-generation satellite and airborne control systems. You'll be at the core of the Payload Handling Unit (PHU) software and hardware — powering payloads, orchestrating data capture, and ensuring rock-solid reliability in space and flight.

What you'll do

• Design, write, and maintain real-time firmware on STM32 (bare-metal and RTOS) for power sequencing, current monitoring, and fault shutdown
• Develop and optimize Linux applications on NVIDIA Jetson (ARM) for high-throughput data handling
• Integrate and coordinate data streams from USB cameras, UART/CAN sensors, and CameraLink frame grabbers
• Implement precise trigger logic and timestamp synchronization using GNSS modules and PPS signals
• Interface with IMUs, RTCs, environmental sensors, and other payload peripherals
• Build and run unit/integration tests, hardware-in-the-loop benches, and automated validation suites
• Implement and debug Cyphal (CAN-based) protocols and YAMCS Mission Control interfaces
• Collaborate with hardware, optics, and mission operations teams to integrate software into end-to-end payload systems

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 5+ years of embedded software development, preferably in aerospace, robotics, or other high reliability domains
• Expert-level C/C++ skills for bare-metal and RTOS environments
• Proven Linux application development on ARM platforms, including cross-toolchains and kernel extensions
• Hands-on integration experience with GNSS timing modules, inertial sensors, real-time clocks, and high-speed interfaces (USB, UART, CAN, CameraLink)
• Solid understanding of power management, current sensing, and hardware fault protection
• Familiarity with Cyphal and YAMCS or comparable ground-control frameworks
• Fluency in English

Nice to have

• A "hacker" mentality: rapid prototyping, creative problem-solving, and willingness to dive into schematics or PCB layouts
• Experience in NewSpace or Climate tech
