Responsibilities
Develop and Optimize Software Solutions: Design, implement, and optimize embedded software for multi-core processors integrated with FPGAs (Xilinx, Microsemi, Microchip, Vorago) and resource-constrained environments
Architect Memory-Managed Systems: Build scalable, modular software that interfaces with custom hardware, sensors, radios, buses, and COMSEC devices
Linux and Bootloader Expertise: Develop and integrate Linux board support packages (BSPs), configure bootloaders (U-Boot, GRUB), and perform kernel-level customizations
Implement Networking and Security Protocols: Own implementation of high-speed networking and secure communications protocols (IP, TLS, IPsec) per RFC standards and project requirements
Develop RUST Drivers and Middleware: Design, implement, and test drivers and middleware supporting SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, PCIe, Ethernet, or SpaceWire interconnect standards
Apply Secure System Practices: Use cryptographic techniques (AES, RSA, ECDSA, ECDH) and secure system principles in embedded applications, ensuring compliance with system-level security requirements
Lead Software Integration: Manage integration of complex hardware/software systems, including board- and system-level debugging and validation
Translate Architecture to Software: Convert high-level system requirements into modular, scalable software solutions
Collaborate Across Disciplines: Partner with systems, electrical, and FPGA engineers to ensure interface integrity and system-level functionality
Document and Communicate: Produce design documentation, test procedures, release notes, and compliance artifacts; participate in design reviews and technical exchanges with internal teams and customers
Proactively Solve Issues: Identify risks, troubleshoot deeply technical issues, and propose robust solutions independently
Support DevOps Practices: Maintain configuration management, automated builds, and CI/CD pipelines for embedded software products
