Job description

Staff Embedded Software Engineer
Salary Range: $132,000 – $164,000, plus benefits and potential equity.

Our client is redefining airspace safety with cutting-edge, scalable sensor technologies that deliver real-time drone detection and airspace intelligence.

Their mission-critical solutions support defense, public safety, and commercial applications by delivering actionable data with precision and speed.

As they expand operations in the Syracuse, NY region, we’re searching for a Staff Embedded Software Engineer — someone who thrives on solving hard problems, values technical ownership, and enjoys mentoring others in a collaborative, high-performance engineering culture.

What You’ll Do:

You’ll be a key contributor to the design, development, and deployment of performant embedded systems that:


  • Detect and track a wide range of airspace targets using advanced radar and sensor tech.

  • Efficiently process high-volume data with near real-time performance expectations.

  • Interface with hardware and cloud-based systems.

  • Mentor junior engineers on-site and influence technical direction through informal leadership.

  • Shape the software architecture for future product releases.

  • Help integrate new hardware platforms and support evolving product needs.

  • What You Bring:
  • 10+ years of industry experience in software engineering, preferably with embedded Linux systems.

  • Expertise in C++ and Python, and experience building software for Ubuntu or PetaLinux platforms.

  • Hands-on experience with Git, GitLab CI/CD, and tools like Google Protocol Buffers and ZeroMQ (a plus).

  • Background in radar systems, RF sensors, or signal processing is highly preferred — but strong engineers from adjacent fields like telecommunications will also be considered.

  • You embrace new challenges, enjoy cross-functional collaboration, and thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.

  • U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency is required due to security-sensitive work.
  • Work Environment:
  • Primarily on-site in Syracuse, NY — this is intentional to allow knowledge sharing and informal mentorship.

  • Some flexibility for work-from-home exists, especially for locally based engineers.
  • Why Apply?

  • You’ll help define and deliver sensor systems that protect people and infrastructure.

  • Be part of a team that values initiative, autonomy, and adaptability.

  • Competitive salary, stock option potential, 401(k) match, generous benefits, and paid leave.

  • Join a growth-stage tech company that still has a startup spirit — flexible, agile, and mission-driven.

  • Required Skill Profession
