Embedded Systems Engineer

This position requires that you must be a US Citizen for consideration and meet all Federal Contractor employee requirements. Nomad GCS does not support the H1B Visa for this position.

Nomad GCS is currently seeking a Level I Embedded Systems Engineer. Please note the Level I Expectation in red below.

Position:
Embedded Systems Engineer (Levels I–V). Division:
Innovative Solutions Group. Department:
Embedded Systems & Human Factors Engineering. Status:
Full-time.

Nomad Global Communication Solutions (Nomad GCS) is a leading provider of communication and response products serving a wide range of customers. Our purpose is to be the solution when every minute matters. We are seeking Embedded Systems Engineers to help design, develop, and support the embedded hardware systems for Nomad Total Command™ (NTC) and other systems integrated into Nomad products.

Embedded Systems Engineers at Nomad GCS are responsible for the design, development, integration, testing, and lifecycle support of embedded hardware and firmware used within Nomad Total Command™ (NTC), as well as support of embedded systems across all Nomad products and platforms. This includes microcontrollers, embedded processors, sensors, control modules, communication interfaces, and operator control systems that enable deterministic control, automation, monitoring, and safe operation of capabilities across Nomad platforms.

Depending on level (I–V), Engineers progress from learning foundational engineering practices and supporting designs to independently leading complex system architectures, mentoring others, and driving technical strategy across the organization.

This position requires strong hands‑on engineering capability combined with system‑level thinking, enabling the engineer to diagnose complex system interactions, guide technical decisions, and improve the robustness and performance of embedded systems deployed in demanding environments.

Embedded Systems Engineers at Nomad GCS progress through five levels based on demonstrated technical mastery, independence, leadership, and impact. Advancement is supported through mentorship, ownership of embedded subsystems, and alignment with Nomad’s Core Values.

Engineering is organized into Teams and Disciplines within the Innovative Solutions Division.

• Team 1 – Standards and Modularity:
  Builds and maintains engineering standards, modules, templates, and rules enabling repeatability and scale.
• Team 2 – Design:
  Executes project‑level engineering using established standards and less complex custom configurations.
• Team 3 – Advanced:
  Develops novel systems and resolves first‑of‑kind engineering challenges.
• Team 4 – Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering:
  Ensures manufacturability, safety, engineering intent, efficiency, and continuous improvement throughout Production.

• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• IT Engineering
• Human Factors Engineering
• Embedded Systems Engineering (where this role is located)
• Software Engineering

An Embedded Systems Engineer may be temporarily assigned to one or more of the four Teams and support Standards and Modularity, Design Engineering, Advanced Engineering, and/or Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering.

• Design, develop, and support embedded hardware and firmware used within Nomad Total Command (NTC) and other Nomad platforms.
• Develop firmware and control logic using C/C++ for microcontrollers and embedded processors supporting modules and control interfaces.
• Write logic that bridges embedded hardware with NTC software using C/C++ and other languages.
• Specify/test new embedded computers, network switches, and other hardware for NTC or other Nomad platforms.
• Integrate sensors, actuators, networking interfaces, and operator control systems used by the NTC platform.
• Design and troubleshoot embedded systems using CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, and related protocols used within various communication networks.
• Ensure systems exhibit deterministic and predictable behavior, particularly in real‑time or near real‑time environments.
• Review, edit, or write JSON based configuration files.
• Implement…
