Embedded Systems Engineer - Ottawa - Dominion Dynamics
Description
Embedded Systems Engineer - Mechatronics & Robotics
Preferred Location: Ottawa
Reports to: COO
Type: Full-Time
About Dominion Dynamics
Dominion Dynamics is building Canada's first modern defence prime: software-defined, attritable, and sovereign.
We believe tomorrow's military power won't hinge on exquisite platforms, but on the seamless coordination of adaptable, AI-driven capabilities across every domain. We're building that family of systems, fielded with operators, sovereign by design, and accountable to Canada's democratic values.
We move fast, deploy with the CAF, especially in the Arctic, and operate with uncompromising respect for Canadian law, treaty obligations, and the CAF community.
Our founding team includes former operators from Anduril, Google, Amazon, and the Canadian Armed Forces. We're building hard tech in hard places, and we're looking for system-level thinkers who thrive at the intersection of autonomy, aerospace, and national security.
Why This Role Matters
Reliable autonomy begins with robust embedded controls that sense, decide, and act under real-world constraints; our platforms operate in remote, resource-limited environments where graceful degradation and predictable behaviour are essential. This role ensures robotic systems translate control theory into field-ready performance by validating hardware/software integration, tuning controllers, and delivering dependable behaviour in mission conditions.
The Role: Embedded Systems Engineer - (Mechatronics / Robotics)
You will design, integrate, and validate the embedded control layer that connects sensing, perception, and actuation; working cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and software teams, you will implement firmware, tune control loops, and verify system behaviour in simulation and on hardware to deliver reliable robotic performance in the field.
What You'll Do
What You'll Bring
Why Join Us
At Dominion Dynamics, we're designing systems that work where others fail, in the most extreme environments on Earth.
At Dominion Dynamics you'll:
If you're driven by innovation, adaptability, and the opportunity to make a strategic impact, this is where you belong
Compensation
We offer competitive salary and meaningful equity participation.
