## About the role

Neros builds drones for the modern battlefield. As a Senior Firmware Engineer on our Ground Software team, you will build the firmware that runs on our ground control hardware - the equipment operators hold in the field to fly the aircraft and see what it sees. You'll work across microcontroller and embedded Linux targets, own the latency and reliability of the operator's control path, and take your work from the bench to the field. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Design, build, and maintain firmware for ground control hardware across microcontroller and embedded Linux targets
- Own operator input handling, the communication link to the aircraft, and telemetry and video receive on the ground side
- Own latency and reliability across the operator's control path, from input to transmission
- Define the ground side of the aircraft-to-ground interface with the flight software team, including behavior when the link degrades
- Bring up and debug new ground hardware alongside electrical engineering
- Write unit and integration tests for your firmware, partnering with our test organization on hardware-in-the-loop and field testing
