Embedded Software Engineer

Tomorrow.io is hiring an Embedded Software Engineer to join our Space & Sensors team. In this role, you'll design, develop, and maintain Linux-based embedded systems that power next-generation radar and remote-sensing technologies across space-borne and terrestrial platforms
.

Your mission will be to build reliable, maintainable embedded Linux platforms that enable Tomorrow.io's electronic products to operate accurately and consistently in demanding real‑world environments. You'll collaborate closely with hardware, FPGA, systems, and application software engineers
, translating sensing and space requirements into robust drivers, board support packages (BSPs), and production‑ready platforms.

This role offers strong opportunities for cross‑functional growth - looking down the stack to understand how RTL and hardware interact with embedded software, and up the stack to support and enable application‑layer systems.

Please note that this position is a hybrid role, and the team collaborates in person twice weekly at our Golden, Colorado office.

• Design, develop, and maintain Linux drivers
  , BSPs
  , and Yocto‑based Linux distributions
  .
• Lead hardware bring‑up
  , system integration, and low‑level debugging on custom hardware platforms.
• Collaborate with hardware, FPGA, and systems engineers to ensure cohesive end‑to‑end system behavior.
• Support application‑layer software teams by delivering stable, well‑documented embedded platforms.
• Debug and diagnose complex system issues using JTAG/SWD
  , logic analyzers, and Linux debugging tools.
• Contribute to cross‑disciplinary discussions and continuous improvement of processes and products.

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience in embedded software development.
• Strong experience developing Embedded Linux systems on custom hardware
  .
• Hands‑on expertise in Linux kernel and user‑space driver development
  .
• Proven experience creating and maintaining Board Support Packages (BSPs).
• Deep familiarity with Yocto / Open Embedded
  , including build system customization.
• Solid understanding of Linux internals
  , particularly on ARM‑based embedded systems
  .
• Proficiency in C (primary) and C++.
• Experience with cross‑compilation, build systems, and debugging tools
  , including gcc, gdb, cmake, strace, perf, valgrind, and QEMU.
• Comfort working with Git
  , CI/CD workflows
  , and scripting/automation using Bash and Python
  .
• Exposure to FPGAs and HDLs (Verilog or VHDL), or a strong interest in learning RTL concepts.
• Collaborative, detail‑oriented, and structured
  , with openness to feedback across disciplines.
