About Matter Intelligence

Matter Intelligence is pioneering a new ultraspectral vision ecosystem that sees molecular chemistry, unlocking superintelligent vision for the physical world. Backed by Pear VC.

About the role

Matter is hiring a Flight Firmware Engineer to develop the low-level software that connects our sensing hardware to reliable airborne and spaceborne operations. This role will work closely with payload electronics, flight software, systems, test, and operations through board bring-up, integration, qualification, and flight. Develop and maintain embedded firmware, device drivers, and hardware-control interfaces for sensing payload electronics.

What they're looking for

  • Experience developing and debugging embedded software close to hardware
  • Strong understanding of processors, peripherals, communication interfaces, timing, memory, and real-time behavior
  • Hands-on experience with board bring-up, laboratory debugging, automated testing, and version-controlled software development
  • Ability to work across firmware, electronics, flight software, systems engineering, and test disciplines
  • To comply with U.S. export regulations, applicants must be one of the following:
  • A U.S. citizen or national
More about this role

Welcome to Matter, where we are building the future of vision AI: pairing a world-first sensor that sees molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model that will be the most powerful intelligence engine for the physical world. This system doesn't just see what something looks like; it understands everything from a single pixel. We call this Superintelligent Vision.

Our team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, designed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and frontier artificial intelligence systems. We are now building the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems.
