Embedded Firmware Engineer
Zipline , South San Francisco, California +1
What you will do
- Design and build C++ firmware for a distributed system of aircraft microcontrollers.
- Develop reliable Ethernet, serial, and other microcontroller communication interfaces.
- Define platform-level interfaces and reusable firmware components that support multiple aircraft subsystems.
- Own the predictable and reliable performance of our microcontroller systems and the communication buses that connect them, across startup, real-time operation, fault handling, and recovery.
- Optimize real-time behavior, including CPU utilization, memory usage, scheduling latency, timing jitter, and resource contention
- Develop metrics, monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to prepare the system for field deployment at scale
- Develop Rust-based tooling and software-in-the-loop simulations to test and validate firmware behavior.
