## Job description

We're Hiring: Embedded System Engineer Full time | Core team LAT Aerospace | Cross Program

LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.

The Embedded Systems Engineer is a cross-program role spanning drivers, hardware interfaces, real-time systems, control logic, communications, and application-level firmware. You will work closely with PCB, electrical, and controls engineers to take embedded systems from first prototype through testing and deployment.

## What you’ll do

- Develop firmware across multiple layers, from low-level drivers and hardware abstraction to application and control logic.
- Develop real-time embedded software for microcontrollers and embedded processors.
- Build drivers and interfaces for sensors, actuators, ADCs, DACs, timers, communication peripherals, and other hardware.
- Implement communication protocols including CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485, Ethernet, and other interfaces.
- Develop embedded control, monitoring, data logging, diagnostics, and fault-handling systems.
- Work closely with PCB engineers to define hardware–firmware interfaces and debug board-level issues.
- Bring up new hardware, debug firmware, and validate complete embedded systems on the bench and in integrated test environments.
- Develop automated test and hardware-in-the-loop environments where required.
- Build robust software architectures with appropriate fault handling, watchdogs, diagnostics, and recovery mechanisms.
- Maintain firmware architecture, documentation, version control, test procedures, and release processes.

## What we’re looking for

- 3+ years of professional experience developing firmware for aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial, or other high-reliability systems is preferred.
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ and embedded software development.
- Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers such as STM32, TI, NXP, Microchip, or equivalent.
- Hands-on experience debugging embedded systems using JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and other tools.
- Strong understanding of firmware–hardware interaction and ability to debug issues across both layers.
- Experience with embedded communication protocols such as CAN/CAN-FD, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, or equivalent.
- Familiarity with DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160, ARP4754A, and ARP4761 or equivalent safety-critical development and verification practices.
- Experience with requirements-driven development, traceability, configuration management, verification, and software/hardware validation is highly preferred.
- Strong software engineering practices including code reviews, automated testing, and version control.

Why join LAT?

- No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
- Rapid hardware iteration culture.
- Build systems that have to work reliably in the real world.

- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Redefining the future of aerospace" by building three integrated programs – aircraft, propulsion, and defence – to create capabilities India should own itself. [lat.com](https://www.lat.com/)

## Products & Services
- **Aircraft – 8-Seater Hybrid-Electric STOL**: A fixed-wing, blown-wing aircraft designed for ultra-short take-off and landing from compact "air-stops" (parking-lot-sized strips). Hybrid-electric propulsion for efficiency and reduced infrastructure needs. [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)
- **Gas Turbine Engine (GTE)**: In-house development of world-class gas turbine engines for both aircraft and defence applications. Focus on compressors, turbines, combustion, rotor dynamics, and digital engine control (FADEC). [lat.com/careers](https://www.lat.com/careers)
- **Defence & Autonomy Systems**: Building indigenous perception, navigation, and decision systems for unmanned and autonomous platforms. Includes the acquisition of Sharang Shakti (defence robotics startup). [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available.
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $20M raised in a single Angel round (April 2025, led by Deepinder Goyal). [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/lat-aerospace/__FWwQ7zsT1zhy7hqcoBHbS5jW1uB0494RFZXe_6FNBho)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Deepinder Goyal (seed investor, also co-founder). Acquired Sharang Shakti (Gurgaon-based defence robotics startup) in February 2026. [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 1416.7% YoY to 39 employees; active job postings up 66.7% YoY. Successful flight test of tech demonstrator "Lat One v0.2" (July 2025). Engineering team sourced from top Indian universities and startups (e.g., Zomato, AgniKul Cosmos, Tata Advanced Systems).
