Embedded Linux Engineer

• Production experience developing embedded Linux systems, including kernel and driver development, BSP customization, and build systems such as Yocto or Buildroot.

• Solid understanding of Linux internals: process and memory management, device drivers, interrupt handling, and the boot process, including bootloaders such as U-Boot.

• Experience with embedded communication protocols and buses, such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and Ethernet.

• Experience working with vendor-supplied Linux distributions and SDKs for ARM-based SoC compute modules, and comfort picking up a new vendor ecosystem quickly.

• Comfort working close to the hardware: reading schematics and using JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers to debug issues that span software and electronics.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals: version control, testing, code review, and CI/CD for embedded targets.

• Strong experience with C++ and Python

• Eligibility for a Government of Canada security clearance; active clearance is a significant asset.

• Experience developing software for flight computers, avionics, or other safety- or mission-critical embedded systems in aerospace or defence.

• Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testing, flight software verification, or formal systems engineering processes.

• Familiarity with GPU-accelerated compute on embedded/edge platforms (e.g., CUDA, TensorRT) for sensor processing or onboard inference.

• Familiarity with Robot Operating System (ROS)

• Military background is a strong asset, we deeply value the operational context, mission focus, and technical discipline that veterans bring. Candidates with prior service in the Canadian Armed Forces or allied militaries, particularly in technical or avionics roles, are highly encouraged to apply.

• Post-secondary education in computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field.

• Real ownership from day one, the systems and processes you build will be foundational to how this company operates for years to come.

• We’re working on technology that matters at a national and global level, and every person on the team feels that weight and that purpose.

• A tight-knit, high-calibre team that moves fast, holds each other to a high standard, and doesn’t waste time on bureaucracy for its own sake.

• Competitive compensation and meaningful upside from joining an early-stage company at the forefront of the defence technology sector.

• On-site in Calgary, AB, a growing hub for tech and defence, with a culture built around resilience and getting things done.
