Responsibilities:

• Design and development of embedded software for new and existing products, including modifications driven by hardware obsolescence, field returns, and bug fixes.
• Apply advanced software engineering principles to design, document, implement, and verify embedded software, ensuring compliance with internal processes, tools, and applicable standards (e.g., DO-178C).
• Develop low-level microcontroller drivers (UART, SPI, I²C, DMA, ISR) and contribute to multi-core processor architecture, including selection, interfacing, and performance optimization.
• Collaborate with Systems and Electrical Engineering to interpret requirements, translate them into software architecture/design, assess hardware resource utilization, and ensure requirements traceability and test coverage.
• Provide technical solutions to complex problems involving DSP selection, communication protocols, alternative architectures, and system interfaces.
• Design, automate, and maintain test equipment and setups for certification, production, and regression testing. Create and execute test procedures, scripts, and scenarios; analyze results; and document findings.
• Support Production and Service teams with troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and corrective actions for pre-delivery and field return products.
• Prepare and review software functional requirements, test plans, release documentation, and technical content (e.g., manuals, brochures) for accuracy.
• Coordinate software releases, version upgrades, and quality assurance activities.
• Contribute to project milestones through independent problem-solving, collaboration across teams, and engagement with customers and external stakeholders.

Qualifications/Skills:

• Develop real-time, embedded software.
• Motion control experience a plus.
• ARP4754, DO178 and DO330 a plus.
• Aerospace/Military experience a plus.
• Interact with customers throughout the software lifecycle including major design and/or architecture reviews.
• Experience with programming embedded systems utilizing elements such as: multicore safety critical Microprocessors/Northbridges/SOCs, Board Support Packages, bootloaders, device drivers for peripheral communication interfaces (Ethernet, PCIe, USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS422/485 etc….), BiSS encoders, resolver interfaces and motor controls.
• Work within a structured development environment utilizing tools/processes for requirements management, configuration management, change control, workflow management etc. (i.e. DOORS, JAMA, Subversion, Jira etc.)
• DO-178 test for certification, requirements-based testing a plus.
• TI DSP embedded programming a plus.
• C /C Test Scripting
• Excellent oral and written English skills.
• U.S. person

Education

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or related Engineering discipline and typically 5 or more years of relevant experience.
