## About the Role

The successful candidate should be comfortable working from hardware documentation, schematics, interface specifications and manufacturer documentation rather than relying solely on pre-existing software abstractions.
C++ Algorithm Integration
Integrate sensor and peripheral outputs into existing C++ algorithms and processing pipelines.
Develop interfaces between hardware acquisition software and existing application/algorithm code.

NVIDIA CUDA / GPU
Develop, integrate and optimise software using NVIDIA CUDA where appropriate.
Understand the Jetson GPU architecture and its implications for application performance.

Cyber Security
Apply appropriate cyber-security principles to embedded Linux systems.
Configure systems securely and minimise unnecessary services and interfaces.

System Integration and Verification
Develop integration and diagnostic tools as required.
Create appropriate test procedures for hardware/software integration.
Test new hardware components against the existing system.

## Description

Thales Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) UK is a principal supplier of Electronic Warfare (EW), Radar and Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) equipment to the UK armed forces, as well as an exporter of these capabilities worldwide.
We're recruiting for an experienced Embedded Systems / Software Integration Engineer to develop and integrate software for an edge-computing system based around NVIDIA Jetson.
The role will involve integrating a range of hardware and software components into an existing system, including digital cameras, IMUs, GNSS, SSD storage and other peripheral devices. Responsible for ensuring that these devices operate reliably with the Jetson platform and that their data is correctly delivered into existing C++ processing and algorithm software.
A significant element of the role will be the integration of new and alternative hardware into an existing system. This may include, for example, moving an existing Jetson application onto a new carrier board, integrating different cameras or sensors, adapting interfaces and drivers, and reconfiguring the software and operating system to accommodate changes in the underlying hardware, developing software interface specifications
The role therefore requires someone who is comfortable working across the boundary between hardware and software, rather than someone focused solely on application-level software development.
There will be travel involved so the successful individual should be prepared to travel to Ukraine (all training and briefings will be provided), Jetson / Embedded Linux
Develop, configure and maintain software running on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano platforms.
Work extensively with Ubuntu Linux in an embedded environment.
Manage system resources including:
Diagnose and resolve hardware/software integration problems.
Configure boot, system services, device configuration and application start-up.

Hardware and Peripheral Integration
Integrate and configure hardware peripherals including, but not limited to:

Carrier Board Integration
A key responsibility will be adapting the software platform to accommodate changes to the underlying hardware.For example:Integrating a new Jetson carrier board
Identifying differences in peripheral interfaces and hardware configuration.
