Embedded Team Lead

a global leader in advanced human-guided autonomous drone systems, is looking for an Embedded Team Lead to join our R&D organization and lead the development of the firmware and low-level software that power our real-time autonomous and mission-critical systems used by defense and security forces worldwide.In this role, you will combine hands-on technical leadership with people management, guiding a team of embedded engineers while actively contributing to the design, implementation, and bring-up of firmware for our airborne platforms and payloads. You will own the embedded layer end-to-end - from microcontroller firmware and low-level drivers, through hardware/software integration, to production support and field-deployed systems.This is a unique opportunity to lead development at the point where software meets hardware, in systems that operate in the most demanding real-world environments.Responsibilities:Lead and mentor a team of embedded software engineers, fostering ownership, accountability, and technical excellenceTake full ownership of embedded delivery, from architecture and board bring-up through serial production and field deploymentAct as a hands-on contributor to embedded C development for real-time, resource-constrained, mission-critical platformsDrive hardware/software integration together with electrical, mechanical, and systems teams - from prototype through productionEnsure reliability, deterministic real-time behavior, and efficient resource utilization of firmware running on fielded systemsConduct code and design reviews, enforce best practices, and maintain high development, testing, and documentation standardsManage sprint planning, task prioritization, technical roadmap alignment, and delivery timelines within an Agile frameworkSupport recruitment, onboarding, and professional development of embedded engineersRequirements: 5 years of hands-on real time embedded software and firmware development experience, including strong expertise in CProven experience leading and mentoring engineers in a technical team environmentStrong embedded system design and architectural experienceDeep understanding of embedded fundamentals: real-time behavior, interrupts, memory management, concurrency, and low-level debuggingHands-on experience with ARM microcontroller platforms (STM32 or similar), including firmware implementation and hardware bring-upExperience implementing and troubleshooting embedded communication interfaces such as I2C, UART, SPI, GPIO, and CANAbility to read schematics and work at board level, with proficiency using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and hardware debuggersStrong experience working in Linux environments, with Git-based workflows and modern development toolsStrong ownership mindset and ability to lead technical initiatives end-to-endThis position is open to all candidates.
