Aalyria is a leading technology company that supplies laser communications technology and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms to the aerospace industry. Backed by Battery.
About the role
Aalyria is developing the wavefront-correction subsystem for high-throughput atmospheric laser communications between Earth and space across a range of orbits. We're seeking an Embedded Controls Engineer to design, implement, test, and field the real-time closed-loop control at the heart of that subsystem.
What they're looking for
- Degree in EE, controls, CS, physics, or a related field, plus 3+ years developing real-time, closed-loop embedded control systems on hardware
- Strong control fundamentals and hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink for design, analysis, and simulation
- Proven ability to convert control laws, digital filters, and DSP into embedded C and debug them on real hardware
- Comfort with nonlinear behavior and practical stabilization techniques (e.g., gain scheduling, linearization)
- Demonstrated hardware bring-up: instrumentation, test, data acquisition, troubleshooting, and characterization
- Works effectively at the seam of algorithms, hardware, and software within a multidisciplinary team

Aalyria is developing the wavefront-correction subsystem for high-throughput atmospheric laser communications between Earth and space across a range of orbits. We're seeking an Embedded Controls Engineer to design, implement, test, and field the real-time closed-loop control at the heart of that subsystem. Working closely with our analytical team, who develop the correction approaches, you'll turn candidate methods into robust, low-latency embedded implementations, build the infrastructure to validate them, and carry the subsystem from prototype through initial production to a fielded, maintainable product. You'll investigate, prototype, and improve the adaptive optics hardware, firmware, and associated test and production tooling for a Free Space Optical Communications terminal, selecting for the best balance of practicality, reliability, and affordability from off-the-shelf components wherever possible. Throughout, you'll support and collaborate with the surrounding team of optical, mechanical, electrical, software, and controls engineers.
