Senior Software Engineer, Emerging Products & Integration

About this role

Radar Reinvented.

Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).

Echodyne is seeking a Senior Software Engineer , Emerging Products & Integration to join our fast-growing team.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are seeking a high-caliber, product-minded engineer to join our Product Integration Team (PIT) —a group focused on enabling seamless interoperability between distributed sensor systems and mission command environments.

The Product Integration Team builds the software layers that allow our platform to operate within a broader ecosystem of external systems, sensors, and command-and-control infrastructure. This includes developing integrations, middleware, and interfaces that ensure our technology can be rapidly adopted and deployed in real-world environments.

In this role, you will design and deliver integration-ready software that works under real-world constraints—often with incomplete information, evolving requirements, and direct feedback from field users.

This is a hands-on, builder-first role for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and take ownership from concept to deployment. You won’t just implement features—you will define problems, shape solutions, and ensure what you build is usable, scalable, and mission-ready.

A key aspect of this role is working directly with field systems engineers and external partners during live deployments and integration events , where you will investigate issues, develop solutions in real time, and ensure successful system operation. This role requires travel to customer sites or integration events to support deployments and partner integrations. This position reports to the VP, Software & Firmware Engineer

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build from 0 → 1: Rapidly prototype new capabilities and iterate based on real-world feedback

• Translate mission needs into systems: Convert ambiguous requirements into designs and working implementations

• Own problems end-to-end: From concept → deployment → integration

• Design for interoperability: Build clean APIs, SDKs, and integration patterns

• Enable ecosystem integration: Connect distributed sensors with command systems through reliable middleware

• Operate with speed and judgment: Balance quick iteration with long-term maintainability

• Design for real-world constraints: Intermittent connectivity, edge environments, and reliability requirements

• Deliver full-stack solutions: Backend services and frontend interfaces (e.g., React)

• Harden and scale systems: Turn prototypes into production-ready solutions

• Support field deployments: Work alongside field engineers to debug and deploy solutions in real time

• Participate in integration events: Collaborate with partners to integrate and validate systems

• Close the feedback loop: Improve systems based on field usage

• Elevate engineering practices: Contribute to strong design and code quality

• Backend / Middleware Development (Rust Preferred)

• Build backend services and middleware that ingest, process, and route data between distributed sensors and command systems. Focus on performance, reliability, and clean interfaces.

• Networking & Protocol Integration

• Apply a solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP/REST, WebSockets) to design system interactions, identify appropriate architectures, and debug connectivity or performance issues across systems.

• Distributed Systems

• Design and operate systems across distributed environments, handling real-time data with a focus on reliability, scalability, and fault tolerance.

• AI/ML Developer Tools

• Have a good understanding of how to use AI/ML tools and frameworks to build practical solutions. The focus is on leveraging existing tooling (e.g., APIs, pretrained models) to accelerate development and enhance system capabilities.

REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE

• 5+ years building and shipping production-grade software systems , with a track record of delivering reliable, maintainable solutions in real-world environments

• Strong foundation in:

• Backend development: Experience building services and middleware that handle data ingestion, processing, and system integration, with attention to performance, reliability, and clean abstractions

• Networking fundamentals: Solid understanding of how systems communicate (TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP/REST), with the ability to reason about data flow, diagnose connectivity issues, and debug across system boundaries

• Distributed systems: Experience designing or working with systems that operate across multiple nodes, including handling real-time data, fault tolerance, and system reliability

• AI/ML tooling (applied usage): Familiarity with using AI/ML tools and APIs to build practical solutions and accelerate development workflows

• Proficiency in one or more of: Rust, Python, C/C++ , with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and production-quality code

• Experience designing and building APIs and service interfaces , with an emphasis on usability, clarity, and ease of integration for internal and external users

• Proven ability to:

• Rapidly prototype and iterate under tight timelines, balancing speed with quality

• Work effectively with ambiguous or evolving requirements and turn them into actionable designs

• Translate user and mission needs into working systems th
