Top Senior Embedded Software Engineer Jobs in San Francisco, CA

The Senior Embedded Security Engineer will enhance the security of the flight software for space vehicles, ensuring high standards for safety and secure coding practices throughout the development lifecycle.

Own and ship production-quality embedded and Linux-based control software for Vega 3D weaving systems. Build telemetry, diagnostics, secure OTA update systems, and test infrastructure. Lead deployment readiness, commissioning, incident response, and partner cross-functionally to ensure field reliability and scalable releases.

Own design, implementation, validation, and lifecycle of embedded middleware services for autonomous aircraft. Build and maintain IPC, OTA, logging, observability, and service-lifecycle interfaces on embedded Linux. Deliver production Rust/C++ code, lead cross-service architecture, debug across software/hardware boundaries, and establish safe, diagnosable engineering practices.

Design, implement, and maintain embedded Linux system software and firmware for the Pod. Own platform security including secure boot, key management, and device trust. Partner with manufacturing for production tests and deployments. Optimize resource-constrained compute workloads and ensure reliability, documentation, and fleet security.

Serve as an embedded Linux expert on customer projects: design and refactor real-time architectures, develop Linux kernel drivers, debug low-level hardware/software issues, optimize kernel performance, collaborate with customers and internal teams, lead technical efforts, produce high-quality deliverables, and create technical proposals to support product lifecycle and certification.

Design and implement embedded firmware and low-level software for server BMCs and GPU/HPC platforms. Enhance OpenBMC, enable real-time telemetry of power/thermal sensors, debug low-level drivers and interfaces, validate hardware-firmware integration, and contribute to long-term firmware architecture for cluster reliability.

Design, implement, and maintain the embedded Linux OS platform for on-vehicle devices. Configure Yocto and U-Boot, develop kernel-space components and drivers, optimize performance, support hardware bring-up, manufacturing, and cross-functional integrations.

Optimize Ubuntu integration across latest IoT and server-class hardware, lead customer engagements, and work with open source communities in a remote, collaborative environment.

As Lead Embedded Software Engineer, you will architect and build embedded software for LIDAR systems, leading a team in a dynamic environment.

The Senior Software Engineer will design and implement embedded software for drones, provide technical architecture direction, and validate subsystems, focusing on hardware integration and debugging.

Develop and maintain embedded firmware and kernel/user-mode device drivers for Ethernet-based networking devices. Design, implement, test, and integrate drivers into a Linux and AUTOSAR communication stack, build SDK components, and create debug/test utilities and automated unit/system tests for safety-critical automotive applications.

Design and implement high-performance, 3GPP-compliant 5G Core control- and user-plane functions on ARM-based embedded Linux. Develop in C/Go/Rust, use DPDK for packet processing, optimize latency/throughput, debug protocol and performance issues, and collaborate cross-functionally to integrate carrier-grade systems.

Lead ownership of Dapster's robotic system, writing code for sensors and interfaces, integrating devices, and contributing to foundational technology.
