About Pegasus
Pegasus is an Aerospace company building advanced technologies for Aerospace & Defense. We provide real-time situational awareness and predictive insights, supporting civil aviation, air traffic systems, and military platforms. Our mission is to mitigate risk and enable performance, particularly in adverse weather, through cutting-edge data analytics, sensor integration, and alerting systems.
The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Firmware Team Lead to drive embedded systems innovation at the edge. You'll lead the design, build, and deployment of ultra-reliable firmware for our airborne sensor systems—balancing performance, power, and safety in mission-critical use cases. If you can architect smart, efficient code and inspire a growing team to deliver at altitude, we want to talk.
What You’ll Do
Design, implement, and optimize firmware for low-power, wireless sensor systems
Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing embedded team
Build real-time algorithms (e.g., Kalman, IIR filters) for sensor fusion and signal processing
Own firmware from spec to field release—architecture, development, debugging, and QA
Integrate microcontrollers (Nordic, STM32, ESP32) into fielded aerospace-grade systems
Collaborate cross-functionally with electronics, mechanical, and systems engineers
Enforce quality and reliability in codebases used in regulated environments
Support certification and compliance for safety-critical products
Drive best practices in CI/CD, testing, and version control
Contribute to hiring and onboarding top embedded talent
What You Bring
Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar
5+ years in embedded firmware development
Mastery of C/C++ for real-time, low-power systems
Experience with BLE, sensor interfaces, power management, and ISR design
Skilled in debugging with tools like JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes
Deep understanding of firmware architecture and system-level thinking
Experience shipping firmware in production systems
Strong communication and leadership instincts
Bonus Points For
Aerospace, defense, or other regulated hardware experience
Familiarity with Zephyr, STM32CubeIDE, SEGGER, or similar platforms
Knowledge of wireless stacks (LoRa, ZigBee, Thread)
Exposure to DO-178C, cybersecurity standards, or safety frameworks
Scripting chops (Python, Bash) for testing and automation
Contributions to sensor fusion, signal processing, or embedded AI projects
Why Pegasus
Lead a product-critical domain and shape our firmware architecture
Build software that directly impacts pilot safety and aircraft survivability
Solve complex, real-time challenges at the intersection of hardware and AI
Work with a team that moves fast, thinks boldly, and executes with grit
Be part of a mission that matters—building systems that keep people safe in the sky
