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
We are looking for a Flight Software Engineer with strong software fundamentals, real embedded or flight software experience, and the judgment to build robust systems under practical constraints. This role sits close to the hardware and close to the mission: you will help define how onboard systems collect data, manage resources, handle failures, and move information from sensor to storage to downlink.
What they're looking for
- You can debug across the full stack: hardware interfaces, threads and processes, filesystems, compression, protocols, and test infrastructure. You know when to reach for simulation, when to move to hardware, and how to use both without fooling yourself
More about this role
We are looking for a Flight Software Engineer with strong software fundamentals, real embedded or flight software experience, and the judgment to build robust systems under practical constraints. This role sits close to the hardware and close to the mission: you will help define how onboard systems collect data, manage resources, handle failures, and move information from sensor to storage to downlink.
In this role, you will work across the full stack of flight software, from low-level interfaces and concurrency primitives to application-level services and end-to-end test infrastructure. You will be expected to reason clearly about trade-offs, debug across hardware and software boundaries, and build systems that are simple enough to trust when the environment gets messy.
As an early member of the team, you will also help shape the engineering culture around flight software: how we write interfaces, test behavior, document assumptions, review designs, and balance first-principles rigor with pragmatic execution.
You will build and maintain the software that enables Matter’s sensing systems to operate reliably in constrained, real-world environments. The work spans embedded Linux,...
