Embedded Software Engineer

A leading company developing advanced hybrid propulsion systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to join its core engineering team.

This is a hands-on real-time embedded role with direct responsibility for firmware development and hardware–software integration in complex electro-mechanical systems. The Embedded Software Engineer plays a central role in system realization, working closely with electronics, mechanics, and system engineering to deliver robust, production-ready solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop real-time embedded software in C/C++ for mission-critical systems.
• Design and implement bare-metal firmware and low-level drivers.
• Implement and maintain hardware communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, Serial).
• Take hands-on responsibility for HW–SW integration and board-level bring-up.
• Participate in system architecture and software design discussions.
• Debug complex HW–SW issues using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers).
• Support system integration, validation, and verification activities.
• Contribute to internal development standards and software quality practices.

Qualifications

Mandatory

• B.Sc. in Software Engineering / Computer Science.
• At least 5 years of experience in real-time embedded software development (C/C++).
• Hands-on experience with bare-metal and firmware development.
• Experience with hardware interfaces and communication protocols (UART / SPI / I2C / Serial).
• Strong experience in embedded systems and HW–SW integration.
• Experience working with Git.

Advantage

• Experience working in startup or small-team environments.
• Familiarity with Microchip microcontrollers.
• Experience with CAN bus.
• Experience with FreeRTOS and/or development without an operating system.
• Experience with Python for tools, testing, or automation.

Key Skills

• Deep understanding of software architecture, system design, and design patterns.
• Strong system-level thinking with attention to low-level implementation details.
• Hands-on, practical engineering mindset with readiness to debug at board level.
• Ability to analyze and resolve complex HW–SW integration issues.
• Structured and methodical problem-solving approach.
• Clear technical communication within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• High ownership, responsibility, and professional accountability.

Working Conditions

• Location: Rehovot, Israel
• Employment Type: Full-Time, on-site
