Embedded LabVIEW Engineer - Secret Clearance

The Embedded Software Engineer will be responsible for the following:

• Maintain existing hardware-in-the-loop test systems by addressing new and existing issues, and providing functional support in how to use and configure these systems to achieve desired testing goals.

• Refactor existing systems to provide more useable, stable, maintainable, and/or efficient functionality.

• Develop new software and hardware components to add capabilities to systems which support new testing requirements.

• Develop internal hardware and software tools to improve the productivity of and/or ease of execution of testing tasks.

• Assist other functional groups in use of testing tools and provide limited domain area expertise outside of immediate test infrastructure support duties.

• Provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced engineers

• Assist in big-picture decisions and direction of team task prioritization and short- and long-term goals.

CLA or equivalent LabVIEW experience

Understanding of the purpose and use of source revision control and code reviews

Understanding why and how to design a system which simplifies steps required by an end user to use or configure a system.

Understanding why and how to design a system which maximizes system uptime and reduces maintenance requirements by minimizing code duplication, reducing inter-component coupling, and properly verifying and testing hardware and software components.

Maintains habit of documenting troubleshooting steps, results findings, and if applicable, formatting this information into readily accessible procedures or knowledge bases.

Experience debugging a combined hardware and software system using a systematic approach which identifies possible causes of an issue and traces them through each possible link in a failure chain.

Basic understanding of laboratory test tools and instruments such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, etc. and how to use them.

Basic understanding of electrical concepts such as continuity, voltage/current/resistance, grounding considerations, shorts and open circuits, capacitance, etc.
