About the role
As an Embedded Software Engineer II at Inversion you will develop the software that powers and controls Inversion’s hypersonic reentry vehicle. You will work across the full software stack, from low-level hardware interfaces and board support packages to real-time vehicle control, networking, and mission-critical flight applications. You will partner closely with electrical, systems, GNC, and integration engineers to bring up new hardware, develop flight software architectures, and deliver reliable software capable of operating through all phases of flight. This role requires strong ownership, hands-on debugging skills, and the ability to rapidly solve challenging hardware-software integration problems.
What you'll bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Typically 2+ years of professional experience developing embedded software for aerospace, defense, robotics, automotive, or other high-reliability systems.
- Strong proficiency in modern C and C++ development.
- Experience developing software for bare-metal, RTOS, or Embedded Linux environments.
- Experience debugging software at the hardware boundary, including processor bring-up and peripheral integration.
- Strong understanding of computer architecture, memory systems, interrupts, DMA, and embedded operating systems.
- Experience developing software interfaces for common embedded communication protocols including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and RS-422/-232/-485.
- Experience with software verification, unit testing, integration testing, and root-cause analysis.
- Proficiency with Git-based development workflows and modern software development practices.
- Strong Python development skills for test automation, hardware control, and engineering tooling.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Must have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government Secret/Top Secret security clearance.
