This position plays an important role in delivering products that meet customer specifications, certification requirements, and organizational quality standards. The role also involves regular interaction with internal stakeholders and external customers to support project execution and product compliance.
This Embedded Software Engineer is recognized as an emerging authority within Integrated Flight Deck Systems COE and is expected to help define and improve engineering processes, recommend enhancements to technical methods, and mentor early-career engineers. The ideal candidate demonstrates strong technical depth, independent problem-solving ability, and the capability to lead feature decomposition, coordinate development activities, and support programs execution. You will directly impact product delivery by executing engineering subtasks, identifying technical improvements, driving feature implementation, and supporting the successful completion of customer-driven software solutions.
You will report directly to our Sr Software Engineering Manager and you’ll work out of our Phoenix, AZ location on a hybrid work schedule. Note: For the first 90 days, New Hires must be prepared to work 100% onsite M-F.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Plan and execute software engineering activities to meet technical, quality, schedule, certification, and customer requirements.
- Analyze, develop, and manage software and system requirements, feature implementation, and technical coordination across development activities.
- Design, develop, integrate, maintain, test, debug, and verify avionics display software, algorithms, and application/framework-level functionality.
- Support software build, integration, release, and delivery activities while ensuring compliance with product, project, and certification requirements.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering, quality, certification, program management, and customer teams to support product development and customer acceptance.
- Communicate technical progress, project status, risks, compliance findings, and corrective actions to stakeholders, leadership, and customers.
- Drive continuous improvement of engineering processes, methods, and product quality, while providing technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to engineers.

Embedded Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a embedded in Arizona?
Most embedded engineering roles in Arizona require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field, as there is no state-issued license specific to this role. Arizona's large defense and semiconductor employers typically expect candidates to have completed coursework or projects in microcontroller programming and digital systems. Building a portfolio of firmware projects and pursuing certifications in real-time operating systems or FPGA design strengthens applications considerably in this market.
Which companies hire embeddeds in Arizona?
Employers hiring embeddeds in Arizona right now include General Dynamics Mission Systems, Northrop Grumman, and Honeywell Aerospace, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Arizona's concentration of aerospace, defense, and semiconductor firms means demand for embedded talent remains consistent throughout the year across the Phoenix metro and Tucson corridors.
Which Arizona cities have the most embedded jobs?
Phoenix, Tucson, and Chandler account for the largest share of embedded openings in Arizona. Phoenix and its East Valley suburbs like Chandler and Tempe drive volume through Intel's semiconductor campus and a dense cluster of aerospace and defense contractors, while Tucson's openings are heavily shaped by Raytheon Technologies and the University of Arizona's engineering pipeline that feeds local industry.
Are there remote embedded jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Embedded work is largely hands-on, requiring direct access to hardware, lab equipment, and test benches, which limits remote options significantly. About 47% of embedded openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be firmware architecture, code review, or documentation-heavy roles that don't require physical lab presence on a daily basis.
How can I get hired as a embedded in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to associate or junior firmware engineer roles at Arizona's semiconductor and defense firms, many of which recruit directly from Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott. Intel's college hiring program and Honeywell's early career engineering pipeline in Phoenix are concrete starting points. Candidates who build personal projects using ARM-based development boards and document them publicly, or who hold an FPGA fundamentals certification, consistently stand out over applicants with only coursework.
Where can I find and apply to embedded jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to embedded jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your background and target location, and apply directly without any intermediary steps.
