As a General Matter Lead Embedded Software Engineer, you will serve as a technical leader for the embedded software that directly controls our systems while managing and mentoring a small team of engineers. You will own critical software architecture and technical decisions, remain deeply hands-on in development, and help guide the growth and execution of your direct reports. Your code will command actuators, process high-speed signals, and operate in applications where safety, reliability, and precision are essential.

If you're motivated by solving difficult technical problems, setting the technical bar for embedded systems, and helping develop a small team while staying close to the work, this is the role for you.

Architect and develop safety-critical embedded software that powers General Matter's industrial systems with reliability and precision.

Manage, mentor, and develop a small team of engineers while remaining hands-on in technical execution and day-to-day problem solving.

Build low-level firmware in C/C++, and Rust to control electromechanical actuators, process high-speed sensor data, and execute fault-tolerant control logic.

Design robust control architectures, state machines, and data acquisition systems for mission-critical hardware.

Own software from development through deployment by creating automated build, test, and validation infrastructure.

Partner closely with hardware, electrical, and controls engineers to bring up new systems, integrate firmware with hardware, and troubleshoot complex electromechanical challenges.

Perform safety analyses and validate control logic to ensure deterministic behavior and functional safety under both normal and fault conditions.

Debug real-world embedded systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory instrumentation

Contribute to integrated system testing, commissioning, and continuous improvement of embedded software running on production equipment.
