## About the Role

* 5+ years of software development experience in a Linux environment
 * Strong C and C++, with working knowledge of Java and Python
 * Experience owning features from design through release, including the customer issues that follow
 * Comfort working close to hardware, including reading datasheets and debugging software/hardware integration problems
 * Scripting ability in Python or Bash for test and automation work
 * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience

Nice to Have

 * Experience with real-time systems, RTOS, or hardware-in-the-loop simulation
 * Hands-on work with FPGA-based or custom I/O cards, device drivers, or embedded interfaces
 * Familiarity with MATLAB and Simulink, or with model exchange standards such as FMI/FMU
 * Java client or GUI development experience, including Swing or Qt
 * Experience with Jenkins, Jira, and modern CI/CD practices

## Description

We are looking for an experienced software engineer to take real ownership inside our Simulation Workbench (SimWB) product. SimWB is our real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform, running on real-time Linux and driving a wide range of I/O hardware for customers in automotive, aerospace, and defense. This is a hands-on development role on a small team, which means you will own features end to end rather than a narrow slice: design, implementation, test, and the customer issues that come back. You will work closely with the team's Principal Engineer to add features and functionality to the product.

What You'll Do

 * Design, implement, and test features across the SimWB product in a real-time Linux environment
 * Develop and maintain I/O support for our own cards, including our FPGA cards, as well as for protocols such as EtherCAT, ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, CAN, and serial and Ethernet interfaces
 * Debug issues that span software and hardware, using logic analyzers and lab equipment when the problem is not in the code
 * Contribute to the SimWB release process, including build, validation, and packaging
 * Support the Support and Applications Engineering teams on customer escalations in your areas of ownership
 * Write and maintain the tests and documentation that keep your work maintainable by someone else
 * Participate in design and code review, and help bring newer engineers up to speed
