Job Description:

Embedded Communications Systems Engineer

If you’re the kind of engineer who loves getting hands-on in the lab, tinkering with hardware, and being involved in every stage of product development—not just a small slice—then this might be the role for you.

We’re looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer to join a small but ambitious company working on cutting-edge RF and satellite communications technology. They build high-end, ruggedized communication systems for defense and aerospace applications—think airborne, submarine, and tactical vehicle integration.

What makes this role different?

In a big company, you’d likely be stuck in a narrow role, focusing on just one part of the system. Here, you get the full picture—design, testing, integration, troubleshooting—everything. It’s an environment where your contributions genuinely matter, and you’ll see your work go from concept to reality.

What they’re looking for

They need someone who’s equally comfortable designing embedded systems. The ideal engineer will have a mix of embedded software development and programmable logic expertise, plus the curiosity to dive deep into hardware.

Must-haves:

1. 4+ years of experience in embedded software and/or FPGA development
2. Strong experience in MCU, MPU, or FPGA-based system design
3. Proficiency in C and VHDL
4. Hands-on experience with debugging and testing embedded systems
5. Familiarity with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other lab tools
6. Analytical and problem-solving skills

Nice-to-haves:

1. Agile and test-driven development (TDD) experience
2. Embedded hardware design knowledge
3. Additional programming skills (Python, .NET C#, JavaScript)
4. Experience working with high-frequency RF systems

The environment

This is a small, flexible company based in a beautiful coastal town. If you love the outdoors—hiking, surfing, or just being near the sea—you’ll fit right in. The team works on-site, but they prioritize work-life balance with flexible hours and a results-driven approach.

They’re looking for someone who’s genuinely passionate about technology, enjoys problem-solving, and wants to build state-of-the-art communication systems that work in the harshest environments on Earth—and soon, in space.

If this sounds like your kind of challenge, let’s talk.
