Mach Industries is building faster, smarter defense infrastructure for the modern era. Backed by Khosla and Sequoia.
About the role
Mach Industries is building an AI-forward autonomy stack for contested environments where GPS and other sensing are unavailable or unreliable. As an Embedded Autonomy Engineer, you own the Linux mission computer that manages cameras, sensors, and the autonomy stack in flight. You bring up Jetson-class compute, integrate high-bandwidth cameras and sensors into Linux, and make perception, planning, decision making, and on-edge inference run in real time under real SWaP, thermal, and vibration constraints.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of embedded Linux development on custom hardware, with deep expertise in device tree configuration, BSP customization, and kernel bring-up
- Camera and sensor integration on Linux: MIPI CSI and V4L2, plus GMSL or FPD-Link SerDes, comfortable owning the sensor-to-memory path
- Experience with Yocto or L4T-based build systems, fluency in C, C++, Bash, and Python
- Strong hardware debugging with logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, CAN, and UART, reads schematics and collaborates fluently with EEs
- Track record taking Linux-based compute platforms from bring-up to real-world deployment, with real-time and performance optimization
- Wants to work up the stack into autonomy and on-target inference, not only maintain the OS and boards
