## About the Role

You are a technically strong software engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and working across disciplines. You bring strong communication, organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills and can work independently while collaborating effectively with diverse engineering teams. You're ready to take ownership, influence technical decisions, and mentor others while delivering high-quality software., * Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related degree with 9 years or more of professional experience; or 7 year of professional experience with a related Masters degree

 * Demonstrated experience leading a software engineering team or project through multiple phases of the software development lifecycle (requirements, architecture, design, implementation, test, and release).
 * Experience planning, estimating, and coordinating technical work packages, including tracking schedule, scope, and technical risk.
 * Deep experience developing, integrating, and troubleshooting embedded software on a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) (e.g., Wind River VxWorks, Green Hills Integrity, LynxOS) or embedded Linux.

Desired Skills

 * Experiencing authoring Board Support Packages (BSPs), bare-metal/low-level device drivers, and bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot) targeting modern multicore architectures (ARM, Intel x86/x64, PowerPC).
 * Experience architecting, designing, and developing software that interfaces directly with microprocessors, microcontrollers, FPGAs, and hardware peripherals across standard bus protocols (e.g., PCIe, SPI, UART, I2C, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, or ARINC 429).
 * Experience defining and owning software architecture, modular frameworks, and Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
 * Experience leading or contributing to milestone reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and technical interchange meetings (TIMs) with customers or prime contractors.
 * Experience with technical scoping, Basis of Estimates (BOEs) for proposals, Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) development, and cost/schedule monitoring (e.g., Earned Value Management Systems / EVMS or Agile delivery metrics).
 * Practical experience executing software engineering in accordance with formal safety-critical and high-reliability standards (e.g., DO-178C / DO-254 DAL A-C, MIL-STD-882, or MISRA C/C++).
 * Track record of mentoring junior and mid-level engineers and driving team-level engineering standards.
 * Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented, programmatic environment.
