About Pegasus
Pegasus is an Aerospace company building advanced technologies for Aerospace & Defense. We provide real-time situational awareness and predictive insights, supporting civil aviation, air traffic systems, and military platforms. Our mission is to mitigate risk and enable performance, particularly in adverse weather, through cutting-edge data analytics, sensor integration, and alerting systems.
The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Firmware Team Lead to drive embedded systems innovation at the edge. You'll lead the design, build, and deployment of ultra-reliable firmware for our airborne sensor systems—balancing performance, power, and safety in mission-critical use cases. If you can architect smart, efficient code and inspire a growing team to deliver at altitude, we want to talk.
