Strong documentation and writing skills. *Please see full list of required skills in the qualification table. ## Description The engineer will write software that interfaces with FPGA hardware and other system components, while also developing test tools and supporting system checkout. The strongest need is embedded Linux experience, especially Red Hat Linux. The candidate should understand how software interacts with FPGA-connected hardware. Device-driver expertise is helpful. Day-to-day work may include developing software commands to send and receive messages from system components, building test utilities, collecting performance metrics, testing transmit/receive paths, analyzing timing and latency, measuring throughput, developing unit tests, and validating data flows through the system. For communication protocols such as Ethernet, PCIe, and USB, the team is more focused on the software/protocol interaction layer than low-level electrical implementation. Required skills: Communication Protocols (USB, Ethernet, PCIe, I2C, SPI) Software unit testing CI/CD pipelines Scripting languages - all equal Real-Time Embedded Systems (RTOS, VxWorks, Xenomai, Linux) - at a minimum, candidates must have Linux.Supporting FPGA-baed Radar hardware Hybrid 3 on-site days Advanced Sensor Systems and Test Beds Group supports designing and developing various testbed systems and components to assist data collection . An embedded software engineer is needed to design and implement software of embedded devices and systems from requirements to production., Designs and implements software of embedded devices and systems from requirements to production and commercial deployment for product lines.
