Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain embedded firmware, device drivers, and hardware-control interfaces for sensing payload electronics.
- Support board bring-up, peripheral integration, command and telemetry paths, timing, and fault handling.
- Translate system and hardware requirements into testable firmware behavior and documented interfaces with flight software.
- Build unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop tests and support environmental and flight qualification activities.
- Diagnose issues using logs, instrumentation, and test data, then document root causes and implement corrective actions.
- Collaborate across firmware, electronics, flight software, systems engineering, test, and operations disciplines.
Requirements
- Experience developing and debugging embedded software close to hardware.
- Strong understanding of processors, peripherals, communication interfaces, timing, memory, and real-time behavior.
- Hands-on experience with board bring-up, laboratory debugging, automated testing, and version-controlled software development.
- Ability to work across firmware, electronics, flight software, systems engineering, and test disciplines.
- Preferred experience in aerospace, avionics, robotics, sensing, or other mission-critical embedded systems.
- Preferred familiarity with real-time operating environments, programmable logic interfaces, high-throughput sensor data paths, environmental qualification, fault-tolerant design, and flight anomaly response.
- Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, or eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State for ITAR compliance.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation based on experience.
- Early-stage equity package.

About Matter Intelligence
Matter specializes in advancing sensors and geospatial AI that capture "extreme-resolution" images of natural and artificial materials from space to surface, creating never-seen data of all matter globally. Our sensors simultaneously measure shape, composition, and temperature to understand and predict real-world events like never before. Matter's data accelerates computer vision and contextual geospatial modeling to unlock the next generation of intelligence.
