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).
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 may require travel to customer sites or integration events to support deployments and partner integrations. This position reports to the VP, Software & Firmware Engineer
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.
5+ years building and shipping production-grade software systems, with a track record of delivering reliable, maintainable solutions in real-world environments
