Senior Embedded Software Engineer

We’re looking for a hands on Senior Embedded Software Engineer to be our go-to embedded specialist. You’ll own the day-to-day development of our embedded software stack and work closely with our Hardware Lead. This is a high-impact IC role with real ownership, deep technical work, and direct influence on system reliability and performance, from bring-up to production. You take ownership, communicate clearly, and enjoy working across disciplines to solve tough problems and ship results.

Who are we?

Elsight is building the backbone of uncrewed systems. Our Halo platform is evolving from mission-critical connectivity into a broader uncrewed enablement platform - combining secure connectivity, positioning, video, and autonomy support into one unified solution. We operate at the intersection of hardware, software, and cloud, enabling uncrewed platforms to complete missions reliably even in contested, remote, or GNSS-denied environments. Our technology is already deployed globally in real operational use cases, trusted by demanding customers where performance and resilience matter most.

We’re a fast-growing, execution-driven team that values ownership, clarity, and professionalism. As a relatively small team, every role has a real impact. We work in a hybrid model from our office in Ramat Gan, right by the train lines.
