About the RoleWe're looking to hire our set of Founding Hardware Integration Engineers to help take Gallatin's software off the cloud and into the field. You'll evaluate, design, and get our systems running on rugged edge compute, connected to sensors and tactical communications, and working reliably in disconnected, contested environments.
You'll work alongside our infrastructure, fullstack, AI, and product teams, and directly with operators during tests, exercises, and operations. You'll own integration work end to end with senior engineers around you to learn from and push on as well as junior engineers to help mentor and develop.
What You'll DoIntegrate Software Onto Real Hardware- Integrate Gallatin software and hardware systems on rugged edge compute, vehicle-mounted systems, and fielded kits, from the bench to deployment
- Bring up, configure, and harden Linux-based systems, including drivers, networking, and update processes
- Connect our stack to sensors, radios, and tactical networks through standard interfaces and protocols
Make It Work in Hard Environments- Build and test for degraded, disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth conditions
- Support field tests,exercises and operations, troubleshoot failures on site, and drive fixes back into the system at rapid pace
- Track down and solve issues across power, thermal, and environmental constraints
Strengthen the Integration Process- Contribute to repeatable processes for hardware configuration, test, and deployment
- Write the test plans, documentation, and checklists that make fielding systems faster and more reliable
- Evaluate hardware components and bring clear recommendations to the team
Partner Across the Stack- Work with software and AI engineers to surface real hardware limits early
- Capture what operators tell you in the field and feed it back to product
- Support security and accreditation work for systems that touch classified networks
What We're Looking For- 3+ years in hardware integration, systems integration, or embedded engineering
- Solid Windows or Linux fundamentals: system configuration, networking, and troubleshooting
- Hands-on experience with hardware interfaces and networking (Ethernet, serial, CAN, USB, IP networking)
- Working proficiency in Python, C, or C++ for integration, tooling, and test
- Comfort debugging hands-on with incomplete information
- U.S. citizenship and an active Secret, Top Secret,TS/SCI clearance, or willingness to go through the process to obtain one
- Based in El Segundo, or willing to relocate
Bonus Points- Experience integrating tactical radios, MANET, or SATCOM
- Familiarity with the TAK ecosystem (ATAK, WinTAK, TAK Server)
- Containers and fleet management at the edge (Docker, k3s)
- Experience supporting RMF or ATO packages
- Exposure to MIL-STD environmental testing (810, 461)
- Military service or prior experience supporting operators in the field
- Background at a defense hardware, robotics, or autonomy company
