At General Dynamics Mission

Systems–Canada, we’re not just engineering technology we’re shaping the future of defence and security. Our teams design and deliver advanced, mission‑critical solutions that enhance national security, strengthen communities, and protect the people we serve. If you’re looking for meaningful work that contributes to a safer, more secure world, you’ll find purpose here.

Every day, your skills will directly impact programs that matter. We currentlyhave a new opening for Software Engineering Developers (Embedded). The Vetronics, Vehicle Electronics, team specialize in achieving ultra‑fast boot times, developing efficient low‑level code for ARM processors, microprocessors, and x86 BIOS.

Our code is adaptable across various platforms from embedded Linux kernels to minimal real‑time operating systems. We deal with chip register maps and data sheets, not object‑oriented design textbooks. Think of our code as akin to Odroid, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi but taken to the next level.

We write hardened, efficient, low‑level code, and integrate it into our products which are fielded in armored vehicles. Our military customers use our Display products to navigate, examine maps, communicate, and control integrated vehicle systems. Our Video products bring digital video through a powerful multi‑core application processor, and compress Video‑over‑Ethernet streams to present low‑latency video to other vehicle systems.
