Job description

We are looking for a Senior Firmware Engineer to join our team in Atlanta! WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Develop and ship production firmware for avionics, launch and ground support solutions, integrating with Embedded Linux-based software and electro-mechanical end-to-end systems
  • Implement and share ownership of existing CICD pipelines (evaluation hooks, performance/quality guardrails, and integration surfaces)
  • Design and implement fault-tolerant low-level firmware drivers, middleware, and application software for microcontrollers in an RTOS environment (eg, Zephyr), effectively managing concurrency and resource sharing through mutexes, semaphores, message queues, and event flags
  • Collaborate on architecture and design emphasizing balance between loosely coupled concepts while considering determinism, complexity, stability, latency, power and memory constraints.
  • Build firmware evaluation tools that interrogate code at compile-time and runtime, for quality, ruggedness and performance, in both virtual and on-target environments
  • Help select microcontrollers and peripherals and review schematics with electrical engineering team
  • Partner cross-functionally (software, hardware, mechanical, test and automation) to debug, profile and harden systems to persist in the face of real-world challenges

Requirements

  • BS or MS in CS/CE/EE or equivalent industry experience
  • Experience: 7+ years of experience in firmware/embedded software development, with a focus on Embedded systems.
  • Strong C or C+ coding ability for Embedded systems
  • Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors
  • Extensive experience with popular RTOS platforms and a strong understanding of Real Time scheduling algorithms and task management
  • Experience developing firmware in bare-metal environments
  • Solid understanding and application of coding best practices, board bring up and debugging
  • Debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, Oscilloscopes, and Logic analyzers
  • Familiarity with common bus protocols such as USB, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, etc.
  • Experience running unit tests, nightly build hardware in the loop validations, static code analysis
  • Experience operating and deploying Continuous Integration Tools (eg, Jenkins, CircleCI, JFrog Artifactory) and automatic build environments (Ninja, CMake, Makefiles, etc.)
  • U.S. Persons status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience with one or more Microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, etc.)
  • Have a bias for action. If you see a problem, you want to solve and fix it
  • Experience developing custom boards within the Zephyr RTOS ecosystem
  • Be naturally curious about the technologies and tools you use
