Principal Embedded Software Engineer

An Embedded Software Engineer IV to develop a leading-edge embedded software development by designing, developing, analyzing, documenting, and supporting testing of complex applications, systems, or subsystems of such devices as radio tuners.

• Design, develop, analyze, test and debug of computer software applications and/or systems mostly in a Real-time embedded environment.
  • Work in a Linux Development environment.
  • Customization and configuration of the Linux operating system for the target system.
  • Develop both in the kernel space (BSP, Drivers, etc) as well as user space application to interface with devices and FPGA registers and provide a socket-based user interface.
• Provide regular reporting of progress and status including schedule input for design assignments as well as cost.
• Document component and subsystem specifications including design documents, interface documents, test plans, etc.
• Communicate clearly (written and oral) with other groups internally such as manufacturing, and program management as required.
• Communicate clearly (written and oral) with customers and external companies as required.
• Develop prototypes to retire key development risks as directed.
• Participate heavily in preparation of the more complex and significant proposals. This means having to create a SOW, requirements, BOE, etc.
• Provide technical expertise and assistance to other engineers and support personnel.
• Support, communicate, reinforce, and defend the mission, values, and culture of the organization.
• Attend appropriate engineering, customer, or business meetings.
• Mentor and coach the work of others as assigned.
• Responsible for driving technology and leading a group of engineers on a technical activity and completion of activity on time and budget
• Complete a technical project independently.
• Interact with technical management, other professionals, technicians, and support personnel to coordinate, recommend, and confer regarding technical activities and progress.
  

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or related technical field with a minimum of 8 years of experience in software development
• Mastery of technologies and domain knowledge
• Expected to have knowledge and significant experience in multiple engineering disciplines

Additional Preferred Qualifications:

• Expert in software development (C/C++, Python) for Linux operating systems (and for windows to some extent).
• Strong understanding of multi-threading/multi-processing
• Strong experience with embedded device development: FPGA, and ARM-based development.

• Experience with embedded device drivers (TCP/IP, UART, I2C, PCIe, etc.) on Linux
• Capable of integrating hardware and software and developing test plans and procedures
• Strong experience with modern software development processes, including software configuration management tools (Git, SVN, etc), defect tracking tools (preferably jira), peer review, and agile development life cycles.
• Experience with BDTM (Bi-Directional Traceability Matrix) tools (preferably DOORS).
• Have a good understanding of EVMS (Earned Value Management Systems) to be able to analyze the health of the Software CI.
• Familiarity with cyber security engineering tasks on embedded systems including security implementation, testing, and mitigating issues from testing.
• Experience with Xilinx Embedded Processors in an FPGA such as UltraScale+ using Petalinux and Yocto.
