By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage. **About The Role:** We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our Command & Control team in Atlanta. The team is responsible for the design, development, integration, testing, and delivery of software supporting Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), Pilot Vehicle Interfaces (PVI), Command & Control (C2), telemetry, and vehicle communications.  This role will focus primarily on the embedded flight software and networking that enable communication between our aircraft and ground control systems. You will develop software supporting command and control, telemetry, network management, RF communications, and vehicle data links while working closely with avionics, RF, flight software, and ground systems engineers.  This is not a traditional voice communications role. You will work on the software and network infrastructure that allow an air vehicle and ground control station to reliably exchange commands, telemetry, and other mission-critical data.  The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between embedded C/C++ development, network and communications system design, and hands-on testing with target hardware. You will have ownership across both the vehicle and ground sides of the communications network and will help take systems from initial architecture through integration and flight operations.  The salary range listed for this role is intended as a general guideline. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including role scope and responsibilities, relevant experience, education and training, key skills, market data, and business needs. At Hermeus, compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. We offer competitive pay, equity, and a range of benefits designed to support our team. ### **Benefits:** - **Health & Wellness:** 100% employer-paid healthcare and pet insurance - **Financial:** Competitive pay, stock options, 401(k) retirement plan, and potential year-end bonuses - **Time Off:** Paid parental leave, 12 federal holidays, unlimited PTO for exempt employees, and generous accrued PTO for non-exempt employees - **Office Perks:** Weekly paid office lunches and fully stocked breakrooms   **U.S. EXPORT CONTROL COMPLIANCE STATUS**  The person hired will have access to information and items subject to U.S. export controls, and therefore, must either be a “U.S. person” as defined by [22 C.F.R. § 120.62](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/section-120.62) or otherwise eligible for deemed export licensing. US persons include U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents (green card holders), and asylees and refugees with such status granted, not pending.   **EQUAL OPPORTUNITY** Hermeus is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions at Hermeus are based solely on merit, competence, and qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status. #LI-JC3   ## Skills - Export Control Compliance ## Benefits - Parental Leave - Paid Time Off (Pto) - 401(k) Plans - Other Retirement and Savings - Employee Stock Options (ESOs) - Pet Insurance ## Related - [Technology & Software jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/technology-and-software?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Software Development jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/technology-and-software/software-development?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Software Developer / Engineer jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/technology-and-software/software-development/software-developer-engineer?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Browse all companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) ## Explore this job market - [Georgia](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/georgia?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 83071 jobs - [Atlanta, GA](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/georgia/atlanta?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 23868 jobs - [Airlines and Aviation](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/aerospace-and-defense/airlines-and-aviation?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 6566 jobs ## Related pages - [Georgia](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/georgia?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 83071 jobs - [Atlanta, GA](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/georgia/atlanta?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 23868 jobs - [Airlines and Aviation](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/aerospace-and-defense/airlines-and-aviation?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 6566 jobs ## Browse - [Companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by country](https://www.foundrole.com/locations?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs in the United States by state and city](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B sponsors by location](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-sponsors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B salaries](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-salaries?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Sectors and industries](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by career field](https://www.foundrole.com/careers?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Latest jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/jobs/latest?utm_source=ai_markdown)
