We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security. The Role Mach Industries is building an AI-forward autonomy stack for contested environments where GPS and other sensing are unavailable or unreliable. As an Embedded Autonomy Engineer, you own the Linux mission computer that manages cameras, sensors, and the autonomy stack in flight. You bring up Jetson-class compute, integrate high-bandwidth cameras and sensors into Linux, and make perception, planning, decision making, and on-edge inference run in real time under real SWaP, thermal, and vibration constraints. This is a role for an exceptional embedded Linux engineer who wants to work up into the autonomy stack, not just maintain boards: kernel and camera/SerDes bring-up, the sensor-to-GPU pipeline, on-target CUDA/TensorRT runtime, and the autonomy software that sits on top. Key Responsibilities Own bring-up and lifecycle of the Linux mission computer: board support packages, device trees, kernel configuration, and bootloaders on NVIDIA Jetson/Tegra and similar SoCs. Integrate high-bandwidth sensors into Linux end to end: MIPI CSI cameras with GMSL/FPD-Link SerDes, V4L2, and ISP tuning, plus radar over PCIe or Ethernet; own time-sync and calibration across the sensor suite. Build and optimize the real-time sensor-to-GPU data path that feeds perce
