About the role
You will own embedded firmware across Rainmaker’s vehicle and its integration with our onboard and ground control software systems. Your scope includes flight-controller firmware, power distribution, sensor and payload controllers, and the interfaces connecting those systems to onboard Linux software. You will take work from architecture and board bring-up through testing, manufacturing, deployment, and support in the field. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of hands-on experience developing embedded software or firmware for microcontroller-based systems, including board bring-up, hardware integration, and deployment into production or field use
- Demonstrated ownership of an embedded subsystem from design through release and ongoing support, including making technical decisions independently, validating behavior on hardware, and resolving failures in real operating conditions
- Strong systems programming skills in Rust and/or C/C++, with the ability and willingness to work across both Rust and C/C++ codebases
- Practical experience with peripheral drivers and communication buses such as CAN, UART, SPI, and I2C
- Comfort reading schematics and using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and hardware debuggers to isolate problems across electrical and software boundaries
- The ability to reason about system failures and implement robust state machines, fault detection, safe outputs, and recovery paths
