Industry experience in defense? Not required - we\'ll invest in you. If you meet the minimum qualifications, we want to talk. Apply today and take the next step in your engineering career., * Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience. * Experience including at least two of the following: Embedded C++ Software, Embedded Software Security, Software Architecture Design and Implementation. * Experience using embedded Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) (e.g., Green Hills, Integrity, Wind River VxWorks, Linux, etc.) * Experience developing complex systems involving the integration of hardware, firmware, and software * Active and transferrable final Secret U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date with the ability to obtain program access after start. Qualifications We Prefer * Familiarity with reading electrical schematics and relating it to software function * Familiarity with reading firmware source like VHDL or Verilog * Familiarity with assembly language in at least one processor/controller family * Experience using lab instruments like power-supplies, digital multi-meters, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers * Experience with developing device drivers for bare-metal and/or OS applications ## Description Our Senior Embedded Software Engineer is a technical position that works in an Integrated Product Team (IPT) environment to architect, design, implement, test, debug, and deploy Software for Firmware (FPGA) and Hardware solutions that meet current and next generation autonomous avionics systems' needs. Working with a cross-discipline team, the candidate must have experience developing, testing, and integrating software for edge or embedded devices and/or subsystems (like telecom, medical, IoT, automotive, or robotics) where hardware operation, time critical function, functional reliability, mission assurance, and safety might be major concerns. The successful candidate will work with Product Owners, Chief Engineers, Management and other IPT members using Lean and/or Agile practices to ensure that embedded software is designed and developed to reliably operate toward the intended functions. This position is within the Effectors Center of the Software organization, and is an onsite role located in Aurora, Colorado. What You Will Do * Architecting, designing, implementing, testing, and debugging integrated embedded real-time software within heterogenous systems composed of firmware and hardware. * Working within a cross-discipline team to define, refine, and improve product concept, implementation, testability, and guaranteed, measurable quality. * Teaching, coaching, and mentoring less experienced staff. * Contributing to proposals as well as preliminary and critical design reviews. * Ability to obtain program access. What You Will Learn * Working across a product line in collaboration with other teams. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Unleashing the Full Potential of the Arm Architecture – Write Once, Deploy Anywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/940-unleashing-the-full-potential-of-the-arm-architecture-write-once-deploy-anywhere) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
