ISCO is looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to help architect, develop and implement ISCO's new telecommunications products. This role has a wide scope that may include implementation of DSP algorithms, development of drivers and APIs, design of O&M functions, and even support of automated test development efforts. This role requires a Senior level Software Engineer with a broad range of skills, innovative spirit, and desire to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

  • Experience with Ethernet protocols including hands-on experience debugging networking issues.
  • Experience with embedded Linux platforms such as Yocto.
  • Experience in C programming in an embedded Linux environment.
  • Experience with version control systems such as Git.
  • Knowledge of the complete software development life cycle, from requirements to design, implementation, testing, and release.
