U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a security clearance
NODA is a veteran-owned, venture-backed technology company transforming how unmanned systems collaborate in complex, mission-critical environments. As NODA scales across products, partners, and deployment environments, keeping the system coherent in practice — not just on paper — is what separates a platform that works in the field from one that only works in a demo.
Our Systems Software Engineers are the people who can stand at the seam between subsystems — software, networking, RF, and hardware — and make sense of what's actually happening when something breaks in degraded, contested, or denied conditions. You won't be the deepest RF, networking, or hardware specialist in the room, but you'll be able to hold your own in that conversation, pinpoint where in the stack a problem actually lives, and write the software — or pick up a multimeter — needed to prove it.
As a Systems Software Engineer
, you will work across NODA's cross-system infrastructure — the messaging fabric, gateway, and runtime built on real-time messaging frameworks (DDS, ROS/ROS2, and similar) that coordinate fleets of heterogeneous unmanned systems in real time — debugging and resolving issues that don't respect team boundaries.
You'll pinpoint performance and integration issues end to end, write software stacks under a systems architect's supervision where the work falls outside Core Engineering's product ownership, and work directly with networking, RF, and hardware subject matter experts when an issue requires investigation below the software layer. You'll also support the System Health function — characterizing performance baselines, analyzing crashes to root cause, and producing the verification evidence the organization relies on for release decisions.
