Top Embedded Software Engineer Jobs in NYC, NY

Develop and support embedded software for Wave Relay mobile ad-hoc networking systems. Build C/C++ applications on embedded Linux platforms, including network stacks, backend services, cryptographic features, Java applications, and low-level software. Participate in code reviews, collaborate across teams, and provide engineering support during testing, evaluation, and deployment at customer and military sites.

Owns firmware and host software for field-deployed edge devices powering an AI voice drive-thru system. Responsibilities include developing microcontroller firmware, managing real-time full-duplex audio pipelines, designing serial communication and health monitoring, debugging hardware/software integrations, enabling fleet deployment and remote management, and implementing reliable recovery and over-the-air updates.

Develop and improve embedded graphics and compute drivers, customize products for embedded hardware and real-time operating systems, and profile and optimize drivers and applications. Write and review technical specifications while collaborating on reliable, high-quality safety-critical solutions. The role requires embedded software development, debugging, troubleshooting, and familiarity with graphics APIs, ARINC 653, and safety-critical development practices.

The Embedded Software Engineer will analyze and develop embedded software systems, provide customer support, and apply software engineering and cybersecurity methods.

Design, build, and scale embedded connectivity and security for distributed energy devices. Implement networking (Ethernet/Wi‑Fi/Thread/Zigbee/BLE), secure provisioning, OTA firmware pipelines, telemetry, and diagnostics. Support testing, certification, manufacturing validation, and cross-functional collaboration from prototype to deployment.

Develop and maintain PX4 autopilot firmware for UAVs, integrating sensors and payloads, and managing testing environments. Collaborate on flight operations and system integration.

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will design and implement software for unmanned aircraft systems, debug issues, collaborate with engineering teams, and maintain high software quality standards.

Provide technical leadership for embedded camera platforms, owning system architecture, on-device software, encoding, storage, streaming, and edge analytics. Lead JDM partner integration, cross-functional alignment, mentorship, architecture/code reviews, and adoption of AI-driven development tools to deliver robust edge devices.

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.

Design, develop, and optimize platform-level embedded software and reusable frameworks for telecom products (including 5G). Collaborate across systems teams, perform architecture and code reviews, support integrations with customers/partners, and mentor engineers while ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability on heterogeneous processors.

Design and implement automated tests, frameworks, and fixtures for embedded hardware and software. Execute regression, performance, stress, and reliability tests. Build and maintain R&D and production test environments, collaborate to debug firmware and hardware, define testability in design reviews, support manufacturing partners, and enable customers onsite (10-20% travel).

Provides technical leadership for designing, developing, optimizing, porting, and certifying GPGPU and AI inference libraries built on Vulkan SC drivers. The role targets embedded GPU platforms such as Arm Mali and Intel, maintains AI model testing infrastructure, defines validation standards, supports customer deployments, and troubleshoots drivers. It also involves documentation, competitive analysis, cross-functional architecture decisions, mentoring, onboarding, and exploring emerging AI compute capabilities.

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.

Own and harden the on-premise edge computing platform for Brightcore EDGE, including hardware selection, Linux OS provisioning, security hardening, local data logging, time-series storage, telemetry pipelines, and BMS integration (BACnet/Modbus). Rapidly prototype, document deployment standards, support field commissioning, and collaborate with engineering, HVAC, and IT/OT security teams.

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

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.
