XTEND, a global leader in advanced human-guided autonomous drone systems, is looking for an Embedded Team Lead to join our R&D organization and lead the development of the firmware and low-level software that power our real-time autonomous and mission-critical systems used by defense and security forces worldwide.
In this role, you will combine hands-on technical leadership with people management, guiding a team of embedded engineers while actively contributing to the design, implementation, and bring-up of firmware for our airborne platforms and payloads. You will own the embedded layer end-to-end - from microcontroller firmware and low-level drivers, through hardware/software integration, to production support and field-deployed systems.
This is a unique opportunity to lead development at the point where software meets hardware, in systems that operate in the most demanding real-world environments.
What you'll do
Lead and mentor a team of embedded software engineers, fostering ownership, accountability, and technical excellence
Take full ownership of embedded delivery, from architecture and board bring-up through serial production and field deployment
Act as a hands-on contributor to embedded C development for real-time, resource-constrained, mission-critical platforms
