Other information relevant to the job requirement?

*Persons in this position will be asked to prototype new concepts, participate in the development of systems, and provide support to deployed systems.

*Candidate must be willing to work in a multi- disciplinary team environment. Team members will work with inter-disciplinary teams to develop advanced communication system prototypes, and testing with both internally and externally developed systems.

*Work includes embedded software design, code implementation and testing to support a variety of high- fidelity software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop prototypes.

*Contractors will participate in developing cross platform, distributed and multi-processor object oriented code for embedded applications.

*Requires understanding of object oriented analysis and design in addition to programming language skills in C and C++.

Required Skills:

*Minimum Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field; Masters or PhD is preferred but not mandatory.

*Good communication skills: willingness to listen to the needs of engineers and the ability to articulate solutions to engineers in other disciplines who possess little understanding of embedded software systems

*Experience developing embedded software for communication systems through the complete life- cycle from requirements analysis, design, implementation, integration and test

*Experience developing drivers and support software for custom-designed hardware boards. In lieu of custom-designed hardware; experience developing drivers and support software for consumer off-the-shelf hardware boards is acceptable

*Experience developing C/C++ software for a real-time operating system (RTOS) such as VxWorks

*Must have Hands On experience with Green Hills INTEGRITY RTOS

*Experience with PetaLinux, YOCTO, and Bitbake

Preferred Skills:

*A fundamental understanding of digital logic design is preferred

*Familiarity with or prior experience designing for multi- core ARM processor architectures

*Experience designing for high-reliability applications

*Experience developing embedded software applications that use GPIO or SPI bus to configure external devices

*Experience with event based control loops and state machines

*Familiarity with developing embedded software interfaces supporting data transfer over Ethernet, especially for network booting using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or similar.

Looking for around 4 years or more of experience.

Interview Process: One round of zoom interviews with the broader interview team

This role is 100% onsite due to the nature of the work (hardware integration)

Interim clearance for start is acceptable.
