The same engineers design the boards, write the firmware, and bring them up at the bench. No handoff layer between hardware and software.\nAvionics sits on the critical path for every flight test, so the team's velocity sets the program's pace.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re looking for an embedded firmware engineer who enjoys working close to hardware and delivering reliable, low-latency systems in demanding environments. You’ll develop firmware, drivers, and test tools for vehicle avionics and edge-compute platforms, then bring them up alongside electrical and systems engineers. You’ll help connect sensors and actuators to onboard compute, diagnose issues at the bench, and make the full system dependable under real operating constraints.\nWhat You'll Do\nDevelop low-level firmware, drivers, and board-support software for flight computers, GPU SoMs, sensors, and vehicle peripherals.\n\nBuild and debug data paths from sensor capture through DMA and shared memory to onboard processing; work with CUDA and TensorRTpipelines on GPU-based platforms where needed.\n\nImplement hardware configuration, diagnostics, telemetry, and automated bench tests using Rust and Python.\n\nIntegrate actuator and motor-control electronics with embedded software, including current and position feedback, commutation interfaces, and bench tuning with controlsengineers.\n\nDiagnose timing, jitter, interrupt, DMA, power, and signal-integrity issues using logs and laboratory instruments; trace failures across firmware and hardware.\n\nCollaborate with electrical, controls, mechanical, and systems engineers on board bring-up, interface requirements, verification, and flight readiness.\n\nSkills We're Hiring For\nB.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n5+ years of embedded firmware or systems-softwareexperience, ideally on products that integrate closely with custom electronics.\n\nStrong C/C++ or Rust skills and experience with Python for automation, diagnostics, or test tooling.\n\nExperience with embedded Linux, device trees, drivers, sensor configuration, interrupts, DMA, and real-time or latency-sensitive behavior.\n\nPractical debugging skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and hardware test setups; able to work through issues that cross software and electrical boundaries.\n\nFamiliarity with GPU SoMssuch as NVIDIA Jetson/Orin or similar platforms; CUDA, TensorRT, and zero-copy data handling are valuable.\n\nClear communication and collaborative habits in a fast-moving, multidisciplinary engineering team.\n\nBonus Points For\nExperience with aerospace, robotics, electric vehicles, flight hardware, or other high-reliability systems.\n\nFamiliarity with power electronics, BLDC/PMSM motor drives, actuator systems, EMI/EMC, or environmental qualification.\n\nExperience taking embedded systems from prototypethrough production and building repeatable test infrastructure.\n\nDaily use of agentic coding tools such as Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, or similar.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3236,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Military","Defense Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T18:57:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":126,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/furientis-embedded-firmware-engineer-avionics","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/furientis-embedded-firmware-engineer-avionics.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T02:28:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3735,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673247},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673247"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffurientis-embedded-firmware-engineer-avionics"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffurientis-embedded-firmware-engineer-avionics"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffurientis-embedded-firmware-engineer-avionics"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/furientis-embedded-firmware-engineer-avionics\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffurientis-embedded-firmware-engineer-avionics"}]}
