Responsibilities

Design, develop, and optimize embedded firmware/software solutions focused on ARM-based and SoC platforms, ensuring robust and scalable performance

Collaborate with cross-discipline teams (systems, hardware, and software engineers) to translate high-level requirements and architecture into embedded designs

Lead the implementation of embedded software in C/C++ and Object-Oriented Programming languages, with a focus on real-time, resource-constrained environments

Architect communication pathways across heterogeneous processors, utilizing serial buses (SPI, I2C, UART) and Ethernet-based protocols to enable seamless distributed subsystem interaction

Configure RTOS environments, bring up low-level networking stacks, and integrate multi-core processors into secure, interconnected architectures

Expand capabilities in hardware/software co-design by participating in schematic reviews, signal integrity validation, and PCB development cycles

Optimize algorithms and pipelines (e.g., DSP for controls, RF, or video systems) to perform within real-time deadlines

Author and maintain detailed design documents, traceability artifacts, and compliance-driven documentation to align with DoD and industry standards (e.g., DO-178C, MISRA, ISO 26262)

Employ automation tools (e.g., Python scripts, CI pipelines) to enhance testing, validation, and deployment efficiency

Mentor less experienced team members, fostering structured technical growth and alignment across project teams

Operate within Agile development frameworks, actively participating in Scrum ceremonies such as sprint planning, retrospectives, and backlog grooming
