## About the Role

Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date, * Master's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by start date.

 * Experience developing, building, or debugging software applications utilizing C, C++, or another object-oriented programming language.
 * Experience with hardware-software integration, embedded system testing, or bench-level software debugging.
 * Experience developing software using object-oriented principles and the practical application of common data structures and algorithms.

Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects., * Experience with embedded real-time operating systems (RTOS such as FreeRTOS, VxWorks, or embedded Linux) or device driver development.

 * Hands-on experience developing low-level code for microcontrollers, microprocessors, or development boards (e.g., ARM, Arduino, Raspberry Pi).
 * Knowledge of systems software design, operating system architectures, and assembly language.
 * Experience utilizing modeling tools, simulation environments, or scripting languages (such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or LabVIEW).
 * Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation or FPGA design using VHDL or Verilog.
 * Familiarity with modern software development workflows, version control (such as Git), and Agile methodologies.
 * Exposure to machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) or scientific data processing tools (NumPy, Pandas).
 * Experience creating formal technical documentation, such as architecture diagrams, interface control documents, or API specifications.
 * Previous internship or research experience in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability embedded software engineering.

## Description

* Assist in the derivation of software requirements, architecture design, implementation, and verification of real-time embedded software and application tools.
 * Design, code, test, and integrate high-reliability software solutions utilizing C, C++, and object-oriented programming methodologies.
 * Execute hardware-software integration, bench debugging, and testing on embedded targets and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments.
 * Participate actively in internal peer code reviews, software component design reviews, and technical trade studies.
 * Collaborate closely with systems engineers, hardware designers, and project managers to align requirements, constraints, and interface definitions.
 * Follow established software engineering processes and configuration management practices to deliver robust, mission-critical work products.
