- Cloud/dev tooling familiarity: GCP (or similar), CI basics, artifact packaging.
- Traits: pragmatic and test‑driven, comfortable in high‑ambiguity startup environments, collaborative and low‑ego, mission‑aligned with building sovereign capability.
- Eligibility for Canadian security clearance preferred; Canadian citizenship an asset.
- Shape the future of Canada's sovereign defence.
- Build real capability in fields with CAF and allies.
- Move fast, field fast with small teams, high trust, and rapid iteration.
- Operate with integrity under Canadian law and treaty obligations.

Embedded Systems Engineer - Ottawa - Dominion Dynamics
Description
Embedded Systems Engineer
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
Real missions require embedded systems that survive constrained links, harsh environments, and rapid iteration cycles; delivering that reliability saves time, risk, and cost in deployment. This role supports critical firmware, communications, and diagnostics work so Dominion Dynamics systems remain operational and supportable in the field.
The Role: Embedded Systems Engineer
As an Embedded Systems Engineer, you'll join our engineering cohort focused on integrating cutting‑edge hardware platforms with secure, resilient software systems in extreme field environments. Your work will enable real‑time interoperability between uncrewed systems, edge nodes, sensors, and command interfaces. You'll play a critical role in ensuring that distributed software and hardware elements function and communicate reliably in the Arctic, and meet both defence and civilian dual‑use demands.
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.
