Embedded Software Engineer

A World-Changing Company

Palantir builds the worlds leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role

Palantir is at the forefront of some of the most critical and challenging problems in the world. We develop alongside our customers everyday. Our customers span from the cloud to the frontline. As we adapt with them, we are building a new team focused on far-edge processing and secure connectivity to solve problems that can't be addressed with existing solutions. The novel software and hardware we develop will be used directly by end users across the US Government and our allies.

We are working on low SWaP-C custom hardware and embedded devices with limited compute and memory. This role requires an experienced software engineer who is well versed in low-level development in languages such as C/C++ or Rust. A successful candidate will have strong knowledge of computer architecture and software being developed in Real-Time OS (RTOS) and Linux environments.

Core Responsibilities

• Develop high-performance software architectures that meet stringent security requirements
• Process high-bandwidth sensor and network data streams to provide real-time insights to customers
• Write bare-metal/RTOS embedded software for ARM/RISC-V targets to control System on Chips (SoCs) and FPGAs
• Collaborate with hardware engineers on board bringup, debug and testing of hardware/software interfaces

What We Value

• Ability to independently solve ambiguous, complex problems with minimal guidance
• Strong knowledge of computer architecture and software being developed in Real-Time OS (RTOS) and Linux environments.
• Basic IP networking knowledge

What We Require

• 2+ years of software development experience
• Strong coding skills in compiled languages (Rust, C/C++, etc.)
• Experience in hardware-software interfaces and buses such as I2C, SPI, PCI, AXI
• Active US Security Clearance (TS/SCI preferred)
