Integration Engineer, Software

Mach Industries•Huntington Beach, CA

63d

About The Position

Mach Industries is seeking a talented Integration Engineer to lead the integration of Software and Firmware components into Mach's Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The Integration Engineer is responsible for driving projects forward at a rapid pace - tracking milestones, managing deliverables, and integrating the work of multiple teams into a cohesive final product. This role also requires a hands-on approach, including debugging source code, identifying and resolving complex technical issues, proposing solutions, FW reconfiguration and testing prototype firmware implementations within UA vehicles. The Integration Engineer will serve as both a responsible engineer and a key liaison between software, hardware, and systems teams. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and program management - combining technical depth with the communication and planning skills needed to drive cross-functional integration efforts across flight software, autonomy, ground control, and mission systems. This is a highly visible, multidisciplinary role ideal for an engineer who thrives in both technical and leadership contexts - someone who can dive deep into code when needed while also steering teams toward coordinated technical milestones.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
3+ years of experience in Software Integration or Systems Engineering.
Passion for building advanced autonomous systems that contribute to U.S. and allied defense capabilities.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with experience leading cross-functional initiatives.
Strong understanding of software architecture, APIs, and system interoperability.
Demonstrated ability to plan, coordinate, and deliver technical milestones across multiple teams.
Understanding of C/C++ and Python.
Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and issue tracking tools (e.g., Jira).

Nice To Haves

Experience integrating software for autonomous systems, UAVs, or robotics platforms.
Experience with FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) is a plus.
Familiarity with ROS, MAVLink, or similar robotics/middleware frameworks.
Knowledge of embedded software development and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
Background in GNC, mission systems, or sensor integration.
Experience managing or coordinating technical programs in aerospace or defense environments.

Responsibilities

Work across disciplines (mechanical, electrical, and software) to define systems and subsystems requirements, interfaces, data flows and how these requirements are implemented by the Software and Firmware Engineering teams.
Define SW/FW features supporting defined requirements, set timelines for development of these features and drive the implementation, validation and release of these features against the general company program milestones.
Own integration and delivery of software systems across flight control, autonomy, communications, and deployment tools.
Works closely with Manufacturing to ensure the latest version of validated, vehicle specific software is deployed on UAVs.
Serve as responsible engineer for end-to-end software integration on UAV programs.
Coordinate software updates and release cycles across multiple internal teams.
Works closely with Validation Engineers to ensure all released software passed automated and manual validation before release.
Document interfaces, configurations, and integration procedures to ensure repeatability and reliability.
Communicate technical status, risks, and dependencies to engineering leadership.
