About this role

Code Metal seeks a Forward Deployed Engineer to serve as the critical link between their algorithm-to-hardware platform and customer deployments. You'll work directly with defense and aerospace partners to translate complex signal processing workloads onto GPUs, FPGAs, and edge systems, owning solutions end-to-end from initial scoping through production delivery.

What you'll do

  • Own full lifecycle deployment of customer solutions from problem definition to production implementation
  • Translate DSP, RF, and communications algorithms into optimized implementations on specialized hardware
  • Profile, debug, and tune systems for performance, latency, memory, and power constraints
  • Debug across software, algorithms, hardware, and toolchain layers in complex environments
  • Travel to customer sites (30-75%) for integration, testing, and validation in real-world settings
  • Capture deployment learnings to build reusable patterns and improve platform capabilities

What they're looking for

  • Programming in Python, C++, CUDA, Matlab, VHDL, Verilog, or Rust
  • GPU programming or CUDA development
  • FPGA design and development
  • Embedded systems and edge compute optimization
  • DSP, RF, or signal processing algorithm implementation
  • Cross-layer system debugging and performance optimization
  • Direct customer communication and technical stakeholder management
  • Problem-solving in ambiguous, fast-paced environments

Benefits

  • Competitive salary at upper end of range based on experience
  • 100% premium coverage for medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with 5% employer matching
  • Uncapped vacation plus sick and public holidays
