AnySignal is developing next-generation RF products and services for space and defense missions. The company is building a flexible, high-performance platform for advanced radio technologies.
As an Associate Embedded Software Engineer on the Space Software team, you will develop mission-critical embedded software for advanced radio systems supporting space and defense applications. You'll gain hands-on experience across the embedded software stack, from low-level RF integrated circuit drivers and high-speed FPGA interfaces to embedded Linux, networking, and fault-tolerant software architecture.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own development of mission-critical embedded C++ running on Linux-based embedded systems
- Collaborate with software, hardware, DSP, and FPGA engineers to define system requirements, interfaces, and architecture
- Participate in hardware bring-up, schematic reviews, and hands-on debugging of embedded radio platforms
- Build automated hardware-in-the-loop tests to validate system performance and reliability
- Troubleshoot complex technical issues across embedded hardware and software systems
- Work directly with customers to integrate products into their flight systems, debug RF links, and ensure mission success
You'll work alongside experienced engineers to solve real engineering challenges, contribute to reliable communications and sensing capabilities, and take on increasing technical ownership as you grow. Your work will directly support products operating in demanding environments where reliability and performance are essential.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Working knowledge of C++ or C programming
- Understanding of embedded systems through at least 1 year of relevant experience or equivalent internship, coursework, or hands-on project experience
- Experience developing software on Linux platforms or microcontrollers
- Willingness to learn new technologies and take ownership of technical challenges
- Passion for understanding the hardware that your software talks to
DESIRED SKILLS:
- Experience with network programming (TCP/IP, UDP, socket programming)
- Understanding of digital signal processing, modem design, and RF communications concepts
- Experience with board bring-up, schematic review, and troubleshooting hardware
- Hands-on experience testing and debugging RF hardware using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and RF test equipment
- Experience developing for Xilinx MPSoC-based devices
- Experience with Linux platform development (Buildroot, U-Boot, Xilinx FSBL)
- Experience writing RTL for FPGAs or software interacting with FPGA fabric
- Experience with Python, build systems (CMake, Make, Bazel), and CI pipeline development (GitLab)
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing
- Experience on robotics, aerospace, communications, or hardware-focused engineering projects
