## Job description

Embedded Software Engineer

The Company AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale, enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before.

## The Role

As an Embedded Software Engineer on AnySignal's Space Software team, you'll take ownership of mission-critical embedded systems, from design and implementation through testing and deployment on customer missions. Your work will span the embedded software stack, from low-level RF integrated circuit drivers and high-speed FPGA interfaces to embedded Linux, networking, and fault-tolerant software architecture. Your work will support reliable communications and sensing capabilities across demanding space and defense missions, where software must anticipate failures and operate reliably in environments where physical intervention is limited.

## Responsibilities

- Own the development of mission-critical embedded systems, driving overall product success beyond the scope of software.
- Design, develop, and test reliable C++ code running on Linux-based embedded systems.
- Build software across our stack, including low-level RF integrated circuit drivers, high-speed FPGA interfaces, and fault-tolerant system failure recovery.
- Support hardware bring-up, schematic reviews, and debugging embedded radio platforms.
- Build automated hardware-in-the-loop tests to validate system performance and reliability.
- Work directly with our customers to integrate our products into their flight systems, debug RF links, and ensure mission success.

Required Skills

- 3+ years of professional experience developing embedded software.
- Ability to own a complete system, including software and everything that it interfaces with.
- Proficiency in C++.
- Experience developing embedded software on Linux platforms.
- Ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues across embedded hardware and software systems.

Desired Skills

- Experience with network programming, including TCP/IP, UDP, and socket programming in embedded Linux environments.
- Working knowledge of digital signal processing, modem design, and RF communications concepts.
- Experience developing fault-tolerant software for mission-critical applications, especially in radiation environments.
- Experience with board bring-up, schematic review, and troubleshooting hardware.
- Hands-on experience testing and debugging RF hardware in a lab environment using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and other RF test equipment.
- Experience developing for Xilinx MPSoC-based devices.
- Experience with embedded Linux platform development, including Buildroot, U-Boot, and Xilinx FSBL creation.
- Experience writing RTL for FPGAs or software that interacts with the FPGA fabric.
- Experience with Python, build systems (CMake, Make, Bazel), and CI pipeline development (GitLab).

## Compensation

The estimated base salary range for this role is $130,000 - $180,000 per year, plus equity. This range reflects our good-faith estimate for this position at the time of posting. The final base salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, including the candidate's qualifications, relevant experience, skills, and market considerations. In addition to base salary and equity, AnySignal offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) program, competitive paid time off, and paid parental leave.

Export Control Requirements To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

## Equal Opportunity & Accommodations

AnySignal is committed to building an inclusive and accessible workplace where all employees feel respected, supported, and able to contribute fully. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of underrepresented communities.

## About AnySignal

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: AnySignal provides a full-stack, end-to-end radiofrequency (RF) platform that unifies communications, navigation, and sensing for the aerospace and defense sectors.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: El Segundo, California, USA (with additional office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: John Malsbury (CEO) and team (specific co-founder names not publicly listed)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Defense Technology / Aerospace & Defense / RF & Space Infrastructure
- **Target Customers**: U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Space Force, space explorers, allied forces, and mission-critical industrial operators (B2G / B2B)
- **Mission**: To make RF the most reliable and secure layer of space infrastructure by building a single, unified platform for communications, navigation, and sensing — eliminating gaps and failure points where failure is not an option.

## Products & Services
- **AnySignal Platform (Core)**: An end-to-end, software-defined RF platform that delivers RF as a single integrated capability. Combines hardware, digital signal processing (DSP), and network orchestration.
- **AnyLink Network Orchestration**: Unified operations, interoperability, and intelligent scheduling for RF networks.
- **AnyMesh Resilient Network**: Multi-band RF systems fusing advanced processing with space-grade hardware for resilient connectivity.
- **AnyMission Hardware Suite**: A hardware ecosystem designed for space, land, air, and sea domains — includes the **TerraModem**.
- **Autonomous Systems**: Reliable, low-latency RF engineered for autonomous operations across every domain.
- **Electronic Warfare (EW)**: Real-time signal dominance to detect, disrupt, and defeat threats.
- **Communications**: Secure, high-speed comms enabling real-time decision-making and resilient navigation.
- **Radar**: Precision-engineered radar for real-time situational awareness.
- **Threat Mitigation**: Built-in resilience against interference, jamming, and spoofing.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company)
- **Total Funding**: **$38.62M** raised across rounds (includes Series A of $24M raised ~1 year ago)
- **Key Investors**: BlueYard Capital, First In, Upfront Ventures, Acequia Capital, Caffeinated Capital, and 6+ other investors.
- **Key Client Win (April 2026)**: Selected by the **U.S. Space Force** to field its Resilient, Agile, and Interference-Defiant Network for secure MILSATCOM and the Space Data Network (SDN) — a major government contract validating the technology [everythingrf.com](https://www.everythingrf.com/news/details/21789-u-s-space-force-selects-anysignal-to-strengthen-milsatcom-resilience-against-electronic-warfare).
- **Growth Signals**: Early-stage company (founded 2022) with significant government traction, 11+ employees on LinkedIn, and 16+ open roles listed as of mid-2026 — indicates scaling phase.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full-Stack RF Platform**: Unlike point solutions, AnySignal unifies communications, radar, and electronic warfare on a single, software-defined platform.
- **Autonomous Adaptation**: System senses the environment in real time and autonomously adapts waveforms, power, and routing to defeat jamming and interference.
- **Decentralized Architecture**: Replaces rigid satellite links with self-healing, decentralized networks — a critical need for modern contested environments.
- **Mission-Critical Credibility**: Already trusted by the U.S. Space Force for national security applications, creating a high barrier to entry for competitors.
- **Turn-key Integration**: Designed to integrate across networks, bands, and legacy systems (multi-vendor, multi-domain).

## Strategic Focus
- **Current Priority**: Scaling the defense platform for the U.S. Space Force contract and supporting the DoD’s CJADC2 (Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control) vision and the Golden Dome initiative.
- **Direction**: Moving from system development/validation to full deployment of resilient MILSATCOM networks. Actively hiring across engineering, hardware, software, and business development to support this growth.
