About CHAOS Industries
CHAOS Industries builds advanced sensing and detection systems for warfighters, commercial air operators, and border protection teams. Their products are powered by Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN), a proprietary architecture that enables distributed, real-time threat detection across complex and contested environments.
Founded in 2022 and backed by $1 billion in funding from 8VC, Accel, and NEA, CHAOS operates at the intersection of defense and deep tech. The mission is direct: give operators time to detect, decide, and act before threats evolve.
The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in Washington D.C., San Francisco, and London.
The Opportunity
CHAOS is looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join the R&D team and own the design and implementation of embedded software across their effector product families. This is a hands-on role with broad technical scope, working on software-defined radio platforms where low-level firmware decisions have direct impact on system performance.
You will work on a small, focused team with real ownership from architecture through deployment. The problems span device drivers, RF hardware interfaces, real-time constraints, and full system integration. If you want to write software that matters in the field, this is that role.

For our candidates - it allows them to spend less time on their job search by engaging with more industry-specific companies and more skill-specific jobs.
We believe that any agency can find marginal success by deploying a host of modern technologies and recruitment tools for outreach ($$$).

We help bridge that gap by harnessing the power of modern technology to build long-standing relationships with thousands of diverse and incredibly talented people.
We care about what we do and the people we work with. Coupled with our high-level understanding of the technology and its applications, we stay at the forefront of the current market trends.
