About The Position

Tomorrow.io is hiring an Embedded Software Engineer to join our Space & Sensors team. In this role, you’ll design, develop, and maintain Linux-based embedded systems that power next-generation radar and remote-sensing technologies across space-borne and terrestrial platforms . Your mission will be to build reliable, maintainable embedded Linux platforms that enable Tomorrow.io’s electronic products to operate accurately and consistently in demanding real-world environments. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, FPGA, systems, and application software engineers , translating sensing and space requirements into robust drivers, board support packages (BSPs), and production-ready platforms. This role offers strong opportunities for cross-functional growth — looking down the stack to understand how RTL and hardware interact with embedded software, and up the stack to support and enable application-layer systems. Please note that this position is a hybrid role, and the team collaborates in person twice weekly at our Golden, Colorado office.
