Responsibilities
Lead the development of embedded software and firmware for sensor applications and programs.
Coordinate software efforts across multiple programs, including embedded software, ground support software, test equipment software, and software-in-the-loop (SWIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulators.
Interface with the engineering teams to design, develop, and integrate sensor hardware and software, including sensor electronics, FPGA processing boards, DSP/ARM/PowerPC boards, PCI & VPX busses, health, and status circuits, cryocoolers, and sensor data interfaces.
Participate in development phases from detailed requirements flow down, trade studies, processing architecture design, hardware selection, firmware and software development, sensor and payload integration and test, spacecraft integration and test, and on-orbit support.
Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements.
Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components.
Interface with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces.
Integrate existing sensor-based software into new or modified sensors or operating environments.
Collaborate with signal processing engineers, software leads, and FPGA designers.
Experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tools such as Jenkins Agents or GitLab Runners.
Conduct design trades of complexity and performance between the payload’s optical front end, algorithm implementation, firmware architecture, and software architecture.
Investigate potential processing architectures that may incorporate GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs, SoC, and other cutting-edge technologies.
Mentor Junior software engineers in good engineering practices.
