Overview

At Farcast, we aim to improve global prosperity. We achieve this goal by building innovative products that enable access to information. Satellite internet is one of the most important ways to achieve this goal and to provide global connectivity coverage. However, the capacity of satellite internet services is limited by the quality and affordability of the devices consumers use to connect to satellites. These devices are called “user terminals”. Our mission is to bring unprecedented innovation to the user terminal industry.

We believe our innovation will be key in making satellite internet accessible to everyone. Please join us if your goals align with ours!

You will be part of a small, focused software team at Farcast working on the control software for a next-generation phased array antenna for satellite communications. You will share responsibility for building the software stack that will power all of Farcast’s products. You’ll need to be resourceful, flexible, and able to move around the stack based on the needs of the team.

All the software we build is written in Rust, so we’re looking for someone who is passionate about building embedded software in Rust, or is a strong C / C++ embedded software engineer excited to learn.

Responsibilities

Implement performance-critical antenna control software and integrate it into the software stack
Develop and maintain Yocto based embedded Linux distributions
Produce software design documentation, participate in collaborative system design exercises, and conduct design reviews of software and hardware
Create and maintain software used to test and diagnose hardware

Experience

Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Strong systems thinking and software architecture ability

5+ years of professional embedded software development experience

Demonstrated experience developing software for embedded Linux systems

Proficiency in Rust (preferred), or C / C++, for embedded systems

Experience working with common communication protocols (e.g. Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART / RS-232 / RS-485)

Hands-on experience working with hardware and familiarity with embedded debugging tools, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers

Proficiency using Python to develop hardware-in-the-loop testing

Education

Bachelor’s in Electrical / Computer Engineering, Computer Science or similar field

What Makes You Standout

Experience configuring and managing Yocto for Linux on embedded systems

Knowledgeable in setting up CI / CD environments for embedded Linux

Experience working with GNSS / INS systems

Knowledge of security best practices for embedded Linux systems
