## Description

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Cyber to design, develop, and integrate advanced cyber-secure embedded software solutions for satellite avionics and payload data processing systems.

This role will focus on real-time system monitoring, creating and updating Linux board support packages, and developing low-level interfaces for sensors, communication buses, radios, and COMSEC equipment.

You will work closely with Systems, Hardware, and FPGA engineers to design and develop highly secure, rugged, reliable, and Low-Size, Weight, and Power (Low-SWaP) products for aerospace customers.

As a senior member of the engineering team, you will also provide technical mentorship and Subject Matter Expert-level guidance to members of the development and test teams., * Design and implement embedded software for multi-core processors integrated with FPGAs, across a range of FPGA-integrated processor platforms.

 * Develop software for ARM Cortex and RISC-V processor architectures.
 * Implement C/C++ code for Embedded Linux, Linux networking, and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
 * Configure and customize Linux kernels, system settings, and bootloaders such as U-Boot and GRUB.
 * Implement RFC-compliant networking and security protocols including IP, TLS, and IPsec.
 * Integrate embedded software with interconnect standards including SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, PCI, PCIe, Ethernet, and SpaceWire.
 * Apply cryptographic systems including AES, RSA, ECDSA, and ECDH to ensure secure software solutions.
 * Lead the development and testing of reusable, high-quality embedded software modules.
 * Ensure secure-system best practices are followed at the architecture, design, and code levels.
 * Translate complex system and customer requirements into robust software designs.
 * Interpret government security standards as they apply to the design and development of embedded products.
 * Support integration and debugging of software with hardware platforms.
 * Track features, defects, and releases through formal software configuration and release processes.
 * Contribute to the continuous improvement of development practices and team workflows.
 * Mentor and support junior engineers through design reviews, code walkthroughs, and technical guidance.
