Embedded Software Engineer

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 and 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.
