Senior Software Engineer - Embedded

About the team: 

• Our team is responsible for large portions of the software engineering stack, working on a wide variety of subsystems. We write bare metal and RTOS microcontroller code (stm32 product line), integrate and write code for embedded linux and android platforms (Qualcomm and Nvidia SOCs), maintain the associated linux kernels, and help design and bring up all new electronics. 
• We work closely with both the hardware team and the rest of the software organization, creating the foundation for the rest of the Skydio software team to build upon.

About the role: 

Reliable embedded firmware acts as the brain stem of our autonomous drones and the foundation for the growing accessory product line -- bridging the gap between the algorithms and the sensors/mechanical hardware. As a senior Skydio embedded software engineer, you will have the opportunity to architect, build out and lead the development of both current and future products in a fast-paced environment.

How you'll make an impact:

• Provide technical direction and architecture of complex systems
• Design and implement the embedded software that runs on the vehicle
• Characterize, integrate, and validate key subsystems (e.g. next-gen camera, radio)
• Bring up and debug new hardware
• Write interfaces and drivers for sensors and other devices

What makes you a good fit:

• Ability to write modern C++ in a real-time embedded environment
• Python development experience
• Ability to write clean code with appropriate abstraction boundaries
• SOC development (Qualcomm devices a plus), embedded microcontrollers, camera drivers
• Practical experience writing firmware/embedded code for a physical device
• Embedded linux userspace and kernel development
• Fundamental knowledge of low-level firmware
• Hands-on hardware bring-up, system debugging and code optimization
• Knowledge of debugging systems at ARM assembly code level
• Embedded security and cryptographic firmware development

Compensation Range: The annual base salary range for this position is $160,000 - 261,250, Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. In addition to base salary, Skydio full-time employees are eligible to enroll in our benefit plans and take advantage of a variety of incentives and stipends.

*For some positions the pay may be dependent upon the individual's regional location.
