Embedded Software Engineer, Perception

About the position

Wing is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our Perception team. Based remotely in the US, you’ll operate at the intersection of computer vision algorithms and the hardware that powers our drones. If you have experience with perception sensors, hardware accelerators, and real-time performance, we’d love to hear from you. Join our multidisciplinary team and work in a fast-paced, but sustainable environment. Helping Wing shape the future of uncrewed aerial vehicles is a truly rewarding experience!

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain low-level software components of our sensor stack
• Understand our workload and optimize our architecture for throughput and latency
• Identify bottlenecks in our CPU-bound business logic and offload work to hardware accelerators
• Maintain and improve embedded build infrastructure and automated test environments
• Root cause and resolve problems (e.g., performance and reliability issues) being seen in production using remote fleet diagnostics, local hardware, and test automation platforms
• Drive new software frameworks and features through the full software lifecycle: requirement definition, design, implementation, validation, and rollout to production
• Work closely with adjacent teams, such as Simulation, GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control), and Flight Systems

Requirements

• 3–6+ years of experience in embedded systems
• Bachelor's degree in a directly related field or equivalent practical experience
• Excellent software design and implementation skills (particularly writing multi-threaded, highly reliable code with components that span different systems and environments; C or C++ expected)
• Understanding of structured software development processes (code reviews, version control, unit test development, on-hardware test & debugging)
• Ability to independently work with cross-functional teams to drive features to completion
• Experience with one or more of the following: Camera systems (sensor integration, exposure control, timing, etc.), Operating system performance (particularly Linux), Hardware accelerators for image processing and machine learning (particularly NVIDIA CUDA)

Benefits
