We're Hiring: Embedded System Engineer Full time | Core team LAT Aerospace | Cross Program LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines. The Embedded Systems Engineer is a cross-program role spanning drivers, hardware interfaces, real-time systems, control logic, communications, and application-level firmware. You will work closely with PCB, electrical, and controls engineers to take embedded systems from first prototype through testing and deployment. What you’ll do • Develop firmware across multiple layers, from low-level drivers and hardware abstraction to application and control logic. • Develop real-time embedded software for microcontrollers and embedded processors. • Build drivers and interfaces for sensors, actuators, ADCs, DACs, timers, communication peripherals, and other hardware. • Implement communication protocols including CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485, Ethernet, and other interfaces. • Develop embedded control, monitoring, data logging, diagnostics, and fault-handling systems. • Work closely with PCB engineers to define hardware–firmware interfaces and debug board-level issues. • Bring up new hardware, debug firmware, and validate complete embedded systems on the bench and in integrated test environments. • Develop automated test and hardware-in-the-loop environments where required. • Build robust software architectures with appropriate fault handling, watchdogs, diagnostics, and recovery mechanisms. • Maintain firmware architecture, documentation, version control, test procedures, and release processes. What we’re looking for • 3+ years of professional experience developing firmware for aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial, or other high-reliability systems is preferred. • Strong proficiency in C/C++ and embedded software development. • Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers such as STM32, TI, NXP, Microchip, or equivalent. • Hands-on experience debugging embedded systems using JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and other tools. • Strong understanding of firmware–hardware interaction and ability to debug issues across both layers. • Experience with embedded communication protocols such as CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, or equivalent. • Familiarity with DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160, ARP4754A, and ARP4761 or equivalent safety-critical development and verification practices. • Experience with requirements-driven development, traceability, configuration management, verification, and software/hardware validation is highly preferred. • Strong software engineering practices including code reviews, automated testing, and version control. Why join LAT? • No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas. • Rapid hardware iteration culture. • Build systems that have to work reliably in the real world.
