About ULOOK

ULOOK is a deep-tech company pioneering an Indigenous Autonomous RF-Intelligence Stack from orbit. We develop autonomous satellite swarms and advance RF sensing technologies which transform faint electromagnetic emissions into real-time intelligence. With our proprietary technology we identify, geolocate and fingerprint complex signals in environments where traditional sensors fail. We operate at the intersection of defense, space, and intelligence, providing global partners with unmatched situational awareness across all domains.

Role Overview

We are seeking an Embedded Systems Engineer with 3-6 years of experience to support firmware development, board bring-up, and system-level integration of space-grade embedded platforms. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with C/C++, Python, Linux-based environments, and diverse evaluation boards. Your contributions will be vital to realizing autonomous in-orbit signal detection and processing capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers, SoCs, and FPGAs.
• Bring up evaluation boards and custom hardware platforms with peripheral interfaces like SPI, I2C, UART, and PCIe.
• Design and debug Linux-based embedded systems
• Implement Python-based scripts for hardware automation, testing, and data logging.
• Collaborate with hardware and RF teams for system integration, sensor interfacing, and performance validation.
• Support unit testing, hardware-in-loop simulations, and driver development for mission-critical applications.
• Maintain documentation, version control, and compliance with design processes suitable for space systems.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related technical fields.
• 2+ years of experience in embedded systems development and board-level bring-up.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for firmware development; good Python scripting skills.
• Experience working with Linux device trees, kernel configuration, and bootloader customization.
• Familiarity with debugging tools like JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and serial consoles.
• Demonstrated ability to work with datasheets, schematics, and board support packages (BSPs).

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Exposure to embedded systems for aerospace, automotive, or defense-grade applications.
• Experience integrating SDRs, sensors, or RF frontends with embedded systems.
• Hands-on with firmware validation in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or lab-based testbeds.
• Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and issue tracking systems.
• Prior exposure to real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, RTEMS).
• Comfortable with cross-functional collaboration involving RF, signal processing, and systems teams.

Why Join ULOOK

• Collaborate with a globally experienced core team from aerospace and defense domains.
• Opportunity to build next-generation embedded systems for real-time space intelligence.
