About The Position

Pronoia Energy is seeking an Embedded Systems Engineer to write the low-level software that runs directly on their hardware, ensuring experiments and products function precisely as intended, every time. This is a hands-on role in a high-stakes startup environment where reliability is paramount. The engineer will develop firmware for real-time control of sensors, measurement, actuation, and safety systems, operating within strict timing limits to maintain predictable behavior of energetic hardware. This role involves close collaboration with the electrical engineer for board bring-up and the science team for experimental instrumentation, transforming experimental rigs and product control electronics into dependable systems. The position is based onsite in Torrance, California.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience developing firmware that controls real physical hardware (motors, sensors, power stages), not only desktop software.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Strong C and C++ and microcontroller experience.
  • A real understanding of real-time constraints and safety interlocks.
  • Experience debugging hardware-software problems with instruments in hand, such as an oscilloscope or a logic analyzer.
  • A self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity and rapid pivots in a startup setting.

Nice To Haves

  • Flight-software, avionics, or scientific-instrument firmware background.
  • Experience writing control or data-acquisition software for measurement equipment.
  • A reliability mindset shaped by a real field failure and the process changes that followed.
  • Prior work in deep tech R&D alongside interdisciplinary teams.

Responsibilities

  • Write and maintain firmware for the control and safety electronics of cells and test hardware.
  • Implement real-time control loops, safety interlocks, and data acquisition.
  • Bring up new boards and integrate sensors, measurement, and actuation.
  • Partner with the electrical engineer on hardware-software bring-up and with the science team on experimental instrumentation.
  • Contribute to troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of hardware-software problems.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • equity in a transformative startup
  • performance-based incentives
  • Access to cutting-edge labs, tools, and resources
  • health insurance
  • unlimited PTO
  • professional development stipend
  • relocation assistance if needed
