About the Role
Join our Edge Team and contribute to building a distributed operating system that works across heterogeneous instruction sets, supports new distributed system abstractions, prioritizes security, and operates at the scale of power grids and entire militaries. You will influence the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and the physical world, building a compute model that the OS schedules and executes across geopolitically relevant problem sets.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain embedded system firmware, including low-level drivers, bootloaders, and OS-critical functions for reliable OS initialization and hardware interaction.
- Contribute to OS integration and kernel-level modules, ensuring efficient communication between hardware abstraction layers and higher-level system software.
- Design and implement application-layer features and system services leveraging firmware interfaces, optimizing for performance, resource use, and robustness.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams to debug complex issues spanning firmware, operating system, and application boundaries.
- Solve technical challenges for various customer requirements in close collaboration with the deployment engineering team.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent technical experience.
- 4+ years of experience in Operating System/Kernel development, RTOS, Embedded Systems/Firmware design, Microkernel development, or Bare Metal development.
- Software development experience in C and Rust.
- Understanding of low-level hardware systems.
- Ability and willingness to be sponsored for a US Security clearance.

About the Company
- Swoop Technologies has a mission to organize and make accessible the world’s military and critical infrastructure.
- We are building a distributed operating system, SwoopOS, that decomposes the world’s equipment into a distributed robotic embodiment upon which a new generation of distributed systems, autonomous systems, and agentic AI can be built and deployed using our SDK, Valhalla, and operated via our browser, Surf.
- We are liberating trapped assets in the physical world, allowing them to contribute to the world’s future as a series of building blocks to be combined at the speed of software, limited by only the hard constraints of physics and the soft constraints of safety.
Equal Opportunity
- All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, gender identity or any other factor protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws.
