Description

About Revel

At Revel, we are revolutionizing the way the world's most critical hardware is controlled—across aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors. Our next-generation software stack combines an intuitive command/control interface, a specialized programming language tailored for hardware control, and a high-performance runtime environment. We empower engineers to build, test, and deploy critical systems rapidly, reliably, and safely.

Role Overview

We are looking for an early-career Embedded Software Engineer to join our rapidly growing engineering team. You will contribute to the critical software layer that bridges Revel's high-performance runtime and the complex physical world of industrial machinery. Under the guidance of senior engineers, you will develop skills in systems programming, hardware integration, and safety-critical software development — growing into a role where a millisecond feels like an eternity and correctness is non-negotiable.

Responsibilities

  • Support integration of industrial hardware, learning to navigate register maps and standard protocols.
  • Assist in implementing Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs) under senior guidance.
  • Write and contribute to Rust code targeting Linux userspace.
  • Learn to use hardware debugging tools including logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
  • Contribute to code quality through testing and peer reviews.
  • Develop an understanding of system reliability as a safety requirement.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 0–2 years of professional experience in systems programming or embedded software development.
  • Foundational knowledge of C, C++, or Rust — strong motivation to work primarily in Rust.
  • Basic understanding of Linux internals or operating system concepts.
  • Strong analytical mindset and eagerness to learn hardware-software integration.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Any coursework or personal project experience with embedded systems or microcontrollers.
  • Familiarity with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, or CAN.
  • Exposure to hardware debugging tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes).
  • Interest in safety-critical or real-time systems.
  • Any experience with Rust, even in personal projects.

Why Revel

  • Join a world-class team of engineers with decades of critical software applications experience.
  • Work on groundbreaking technology that directly impacts critical infrastructure and high-stakes industries with strong early traction.
  • Competitive salary, substantial equity, and significant personal growth opportunities.
  • Collaborative, ambitious, and technically challenging environment.
