Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Vyoma is a company focused on providing space surveillance solutions to ensure the safety of satellites in orbit. They are looking for an experienced Embedded Engineer to take ownership of the embedded software layer within their Payload On-Board Computer system, bridging the gap between hardware and application software to ensure reliable functionality.
Responsibilities
- Build, maintain, and evolve the Yocto-based embedded Linux system for the PLOBC, including kernel-level work, driver porting, HAL development, and cross-compiling toolchain maintenance
- Own the embedded software architecture, ensuring it reflects the needs of the wider system and can be clearly communicated across the team
- Work closely with the FPGA engineer to develop and iterate on PS ↔ PL interfaces, and support hardware interface development (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, and similar protocols)
- Lead board bring-up activities and actively debug hardware/software boundary issues using logic analysers, oscilloscopes, and JTAG
- Design and lead the embedded testing strategy, including unit, integration, HIL, and FlatSat testing - and build out CI/CD pipelines and automated testing infrastructure
- Drive standards alignment (CCSDS, ECSS) within the embedded domain from the start, not as an afterthought
- Own the low-level application components that interact closely with hardware, and collaborate with the application software team on integration and design
- Proactively engage with adjacent teams to pull out system-level understanding and requirements, rather than waiting for them to be handed over
Skills
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining Yocto-based embedded Linux systems - this is the core of the role
- Strong knowledge of the Linux kernel, driver development/porting, HAL, boot process, device trees, and BSP development
- Strong working knowledge of hardware communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, and similar) and working knowledge of FPGA-related protocols (AXI, Avalon, Wishbone)
- Practical experience with board bring-up and hardware debug tools (oscilloscopes, logic analysers, JTAG)
- Ability to read and interpret hardware schematics and datasheets independently
- Strong proficiency in C and C++; experience with Python for tooling, scripting, and test automation
- Understanding of RTOS concepts and bare-metal programming, even if Linux is the primary environment
- Experience designing and implementing testing frameworks for embedded systems, including HIL or system-level testing
- Demonstrated ability to make sound technical decisions with incomplete or evolving requirements
- At minimum 3+ years of experience, with the maturity to own the embedded domain fully as the sole embedded engineer
- Strong communication skills - able to translate embedded concepts clearly for application and FPGA engineers without assuming shared knowledge
- Adaptable and comfortable in a startup environment where priorities shift and roles are broader than a job description
- Experience with FPGA-based SoCs, particularly Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, and PS ↔ PL interface development (AXI, DMA, etc.)
- Background in aerospace or satellite systems development
- Knowledge of radiation effects on software systems and mitigation techniques
- Familiarity with space industry standards (ECSS, CCSDS)
- Experience with or genuine enthusiasm to learn Rust for embedded development
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines for embedded software in resource-constrained environments
- Experience contributing to application-layer software beyond the embedded domain
- Experience mentoring junior engineers or providing technical direction on a team
Benefits
- 30 days of holidays
- Possibility to work from home
- Flexible working hours
- Competitive salary
- Private pension plan
- Transportation allowances
- 5 days of paid sick leave for childcare per year for all parents
- Weekly Happy Hours and Game Nights
