About the Role
Valinor Reflex is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to join a small, hands-on team in Washington, D.C., developing a low-profile smart optics system with real-time computing and embedded intelligence in a wearable form factor. This role involves owning software close to the hardware, from board bring-up and driver development to firmware and system-level debugging, ideal for engineers who enjoy the hardware/software boundary and low-level system intricacies.
Responsibilities
- Develop low-level embedded software and firmware in C/C++ and Python
- Bring up new boards and hardware platforms from initial prototype through reliable operation
- Develop and debug Linux device drivers, BSPs, and Device Tree configurations
- Develop, configure, and debug low-level DDR initialization firmware
- Work closely with electrical engineers to understand schematics, interfaces, pin routing, and software requirements
- Debug across hardware and software using logs, schematics, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench equipment
- Develop and maintain embedded Linux systems using Yocto or similar build systems
- Contribute to user-space software, tooling, and Python applications
- Help shape the embedded architecture as the company moves from prototype hardware toward reliable, field-ready systems
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in embedded software, firmware, or a related field
- Strong experience developing low-level software in C/C++
- Hands-on experience with embedded Linux, board bring-up, BSP development, and device drivers
- Deep understanding of processors, memory, peripherals, and software-hardware interaction
- Ability to debug difficult firmware and system-level problems from first principles
- Comfortable reading schematics and working closely with electrical and mechanical engineers
- Experience with common embedded interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, or similar
- Ability to contribute outside the firmware layer when needed, including Python and user-space software
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, build-first environment with significant ownership and ambiguity
- Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (active clearance preferred)
