Embedded Linux Engineer

Overview

At Teledyne FLIR, we’re building the future of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for defense and security missions. Our Rogue 1 drone platform is redefining tactical robotics—and we’re looking for an Embedded Linux Engineer to help drive its evolution. You’ll join a fast-paced, multidisciplinary team developing real-time control systems for next-gen military drones. If you thrive on solving complex problems and working hands-on with cutting-edge hardware, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

• Design embedded software for drone systems in embedded Linux environment using C++ and Python
• Develop, integrate, and debug device drivers for peripherals (I2c, SPI, UART, USB, etc.)
• Work with cross-compilation tool chains, build systems (Yocto, Buildroot, or similar), bootloaders, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Work in NVIDIA embedded Linux environment (Jetson, Jetpack)
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and flight test engineers
• Build real-time algorithms and state machines for system control
• Debug electrical systems using tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers
• Manage code using Git and version control best practices
• Travel to test sites as needed to support flight testing and integration

• BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or applicable technical field strongly preferred.
• 5 - 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience demonstrating ability to design and implement complex software subsystems. Experience should include all phases of the software development life cycle from product inception through design, implementation, new product introduction, and support.
• Complete command of the C/C++ programming language required. Exposure to object-oriented design methods and concepts is required. Familiarity with software development, configuration management, and defect tracking tools is assumed.
• Experience with Heterogeneous embedded targets, ST Micro & NVIDIA preferred.
• Experience with Linux based build systems, solid experience with Yocto preferred.
• Demonstrated competence in GIT source code management.
• Experience with automated build tools is a plus.
• Experience with real-time video streaming, including hardware-accelerated compression, transport, and MISB metadata management is a plus.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to foster a cooperative environment.
• Strong team member with exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Able and willing to travel to test sites as needed, using company vehicle (clean driving record is required).

Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, legal permanent resident, asylee, refugee or must be eligible to apply for and obtain the appropriate export control license from the U.S. Departments of State or Commerce.
