Senior Software Engineer, Emerging Products & Integration

Radar Reinvented. Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM). Echodyne is seeking a Senior Software Engineer , Emerging Products & Integration to join our fast-growing team. ROLE OVERVIEW We are seeking a high-caliber, product-minded engineer to join our Product Integration Team (PIT) —a group focused on enabling seamless interoperability between distributed sensor systems and mission command environments. The Product Integration Team builds the software layers that allow our platform to operate within a broader ecosystem of external systems, sensors, and command-and-control infrastructure. This includes developing integrations, middleware, and interfaces that ensure our technology can be rapidly adopted and deployed in real-world environments. In this role, you will design and deliver integration-ready software that works under real-world constraints—often with incomplete information, evolving requirements, and direct feedback from field users. This is a hands-on, builder-first role for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and take ownership from concept to deployment. You won’t just implement features—you will define problems, shape solutions, and ensure what you build is usable, scalable, and mission-ready. A key aspect of this role is working directly with field systems engineers and external partners during live deployments and integration events , where you will investigate issues, develop solutions in real time, and ensure successful system operation. This role requires travel to customer sites or integration events to support deployments and partner integrations. This position reports to the VP, Software & Firmware Engineer RESPONSIBILITIES Build from 0 → 1: Rapidly prototype new capabilities and iterate based on real-world feedback Translate mission needs into systems: Convert ambiguous requirements into designs and working implementations Own problems end-to-end: From concept → deployment → integration Design for interoperability: Build clean APIs, SDKs, and integration patterns Enable ecosystem integration: Connect distributed sensors with command systems through reliable middleware Operate with speed and judgment: Balance quick iteration with long-term maintainability Design for real-world constraints: Intermittent connectivity, edge environments, and reliability requirements Deliver full-stack solutions: Backend services and frontend interfaces (e.g., React) Harden and scale systems: Turn prototypes into production-ready solutions Support field deployments: Work alongside field engineers to debug and deploy solutions in real time Participate in integration events: Collaborate with partners to integrate and validate systems Close the feedback loop: Improve systems based on field usage Elevate engineering practices: Contribute to strong design and code quality Backend / Middleware Development (Rust Preferred) Build backend services and middleware that ingest, process, and route data between distributed sensors and command systems. Focus on performance, reliability, and clean interfaces. Networking & Protocol Integration Apply a solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP/REST, WebSockets) to design system interactions, identify appropriate architectures, and debug connectivity or performance issues across systems. Distributed Systems Design and operate systems across distributed environments, handling real-time data with a focus on reliability, scalability, and fault tolerance. AI/ML Developer Tools Have a good understanding of how to use AI/ML tools and frameworks to build practical solutions. The focus is on leveraging existing tooling (e.g., APIs, pretrained models) to accelerate development and enhance system capabilities. REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE 5+ years building and shipping production-grade software systems , with a track record of delivering reliable, maintainable solutions in real-world environments Strong foundation in: Backend development: Experience building services and middleware that handle data ingestion, processing, and system integration, with attention to performance, reliability, and clean abstractions Networking fundamentals: Solid understanding of how systems communicate (TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP/REST), with the ability to reason about data flow, diagnose connectivity issues, and debug across system boundaries Distributed systems: Experience designing or working with systems that operate across multiple nodes, including handling real-time data, fault tolerance, and system reliability AI/ML tooling (applied usage): Familiarity with using AI/ML tools and APIs to build practical solutions and accelerate development workflows Proficiency in one or more of: Rust, Python, C/C++ , with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and production-quality code Experience designing and building APIs and service interfaces , with an emphasis on usability, clarity, and ease of integration for internal and external users Proven ability to: Rapidly prototype and iterate under tight timelines, balancing speed with quality Work effectively with ambiguous or evolving requirements and turn them into actionable designs Translate user and mission needs into working systems that are deployed and used in real environments Experience building for real-world environments (e.g., edge systems, robotics, defense, automotive), including handling constraints such as intermittent connectivity, limited resources, and operational reliability Understanding of modular architectures and system reliability , including designing components with clear boundaries, managing dependencies, and building systems that are resilient and maintainable over time Familiarity with CI/CD and observability , including building, testing, and deploying services, as well as using logging, metrics, and tracing to monitor and debug systems in production Ability to travel up to 50% DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE (Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills) Experience with embedded systems or device-level software Background in security Frontend experience (React or similar) Experience building SDKs or integration tooling Experience working with external customers or partners Experience in defense, robotics, autonomy, or edge systems Background in startup or rapid R&D (0 → 1) environments Ability to build reference implementations or integration tooling Strong bias toward action with sound engineering judgment Echodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations.  Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S. WHAT WE OFFER This is an exempt role. The expected annual salary range for this role is $137,196 — $205,382 USD If your skills generally align but not perfectly, please apply anyway. There may be another role that’s a great fit for you! We offer competitive compensation and benefits to our full-time, US-based employees, including: RSU (Restricted Stock Units) Generous Benefits: Fully-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums for you Choice of PPO or HDHP/HSA Virtual Care – 98Point6 Employee Assistance Program Mental Health coverage through Springhealth & Talkspace (Premera) Travel Assistance Insurance Company Paid Life Insurance Company Paid Short & Long Term Disability Flexible PTO (exempt) / 15 days per year (non-exempt) 401(k) match Pet Insurance Prepaid Legal Program Commuter Benefits Paid Company Holidays All qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, status as a protected veteran or any other characteristic protected by law.
