We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our Command & Control team in Atlanta. The team is responsible for the design, development, integration, testing, and delivery of software supporting Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), Pilot Vehicle Interfaces (PVI), Command & Control (C2), telemetry, and vehicle communications.
This role will focus primarily on the embedded flight software and networking that enable communication between our aircraft and ground control systems. You will develop software supporting command and control, telemetry, network management, RF communications, and vehicle data links while working closely with avionics, RF, flight software, and ground systems engineers.
This is not a traditional voice communications role. You will work on the software and network infrastructure that allow an air vehicle and ground control station to reliably exchange commands, telemetry, and other mission-critical data.
The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between embedded C/C++ development, network and communications system design, and hands-on testing with target hardware. You will have ownership across both the vehicle and ground sides of the communications network and will help take systems from initial architecture through integration and flight operations.
Develop and maintain embedded C/C++ software supporting aircraft communications, telemetry, Command & Control, and vehicle data links.
Design and implement software that enables reliable communication between aircraft and ground control systems.
Own and support networking functionality across both vehicle and ground-based systems.
Develop software interfaces for radios, transmitters, receivers, and other communications hardware.
Integrate and troubleshoot RF communications systems in collaboration with RF and avionics engineers.
Develop and maintain network management functionality including Ethernet, TCP/UDP, multicast, and related networking protocols.
Develop software requirements, system architectures, interface definitions, and technical design documentation.
Participate in software and system design reviews and communicate technical tradeoffs across multidisciplinary teams.
Collaborate with hardware, avionics, RF, GNC, systems, and ground station engineers to ensure seamless hardware and software integration.
Test and debug software on target hardware, including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), laboratory, and integrated hardware environments.
Develop and execute system-level tests to verify communications performance and reliability.
Support integration, troubleshooting, and testing of aircraft and ground station communications systems.
Write efficient, maintainable, well-documented software that meets performance and safety requirements.
Participate in the development and verification of safety-critical software.
Own technical schedules and roadmaps for assigned software and communications capabilities.
Support flight test and range operations as required.
Travel up to approximately 25% to support integration and test activities.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
Professional experience developing embedded software in C and/or C++.
Strong understanding of software fundamentals including memory management, pointers, references, and object-oriented programming.
Experience developing, debugging, and testing software that interfaces with hardware.
Familiarity with networked or distributed systems and common communications concepts.
Experience working in Linux-based software development environments.
Ability to independently troubleshoot complex software and hardware integration issues.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work effectively across software, hardware, and systems engineering teams.
Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and developing or testing software on target hardware.
Experience with aircraft, spacecraft, robotics, autonomous vehicles, defense systems, or other embedded platforms.
Experience with vehicle communications, telemetry, Command & Control, or data-link systems.
Experience with aerospace telemetry standards or protocols such as CCSDS or IRIG.
Experience with serial communications, CAN, Ethernet, TCP, UDP, or similar protocols.
Experience with multicast networking, including IGMPv3, Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), or related technologies.
Experience interfacing software with radios, particularly Software Defined Radios (SDRs).
Experience writing software used to configure, command, monitor, or control RF communications hardware.
Familiarity with RF communications concepts and troubleshooting communications links across software and hardware.
Experience with satellite communications, cellular communications, or other wireless data-link technologies.
Understanding of network management concepts including VLANs, firewalls, routing, and network configuration.
Familiarity with routing protocols such as OSPF or BGP.
Experience with networking platforms such as Ubiquiti, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, or similar systems.
Familiarity with safety-critical software development processes such as DO-178C or equivalent.
Experience with GitLab or similar source control and CI/CD tooling.
Experience developing and executing system-level tests, simulations, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
Experience working in a fast-paced development environment where engineers own systems from initial design through integration and test.
The salary range listed for this role is intended as a general guideline. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including role scope and responsibilities, relevant experience, education and training, key skills, market data, and business needs.
At Hermeus, compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. We offer competitive pay, equity, and a range of benefits designed to support our team.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Atlanta, GA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Atlanta compares. Among the 100 largest places in Georgia, Atlanta is #1 by population, #10 for remote work (#1 = most), #15 for college degrees (#1 = most), #73 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Fulton County, is #1 of 159 counties for average pay ($100,817).
Atlanta has 505,268 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 4.6% of the population of Georgia. It covers 135 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,734 people per square mile. The median age is 34.2, 9% younger than the state median (34.2 against 37.6).
The median gross rent is $1,711 a month (rent plus utilities), 23% above the state median ($1,711 against $1,393). Over a year that is 24.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $439,600, which is 5.1 times the median household income ($85,652); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 46.4% of households own their home, 29% below the state average (46.4% against 65.7%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA metropolitan area has 2,889,670 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,170 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,170 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (328,500 jobs, median $47,040); transportation and material moving (313,910 jobs, median $44,120); sales and related (277,630 jobs, median $37,550). The area is most specialised in business and financial operations (1.3 times) and legal (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($130,550) and computer and mathematical ($110,010). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Fulton County was 3.6%. 68.7% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Fulton County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 52.9% drive alone, 5.7% use public transit, 3.9% walk, 29.7% work from home. 14.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 28% below the state average (14.2% against 19.8%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
59.2% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 69% above the state share (59.2% against 35.0%). 9.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 19% below the state share (9.0% against 11.2%). The poverty rate is 16.9%, 27% above the state rate (16.9% against 13.4%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 80°F (26.5°C), and the coolest is Jan at 40°F (4.7°C). About 1,292 mm (51 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Oct the driest (88 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: North Druid Hills (7 miles, rent 10% higher); East Point (7 miles, rent 20% lower); Vinings (7 miles, rent 7% higher); Decatur (7 miles, rent 3% lower). Rent differences are against Atlanta; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
