TL;DR · NWS System Architect, NWS Embedded Systems Integration

NWS System Architect - NWS Embedded Systems Integration serves as a technical leader on the engineering team, overseeing design and development processes for complex products. The role involves defining system-level architectures for embedded platforms, integrating hardware components with middleware and application software, and translating requirements into actionable hardware/software partitioning decisions. You will manage integration across multi-disciplinary teams while ensuring designs comply with relevant standards. Key responsibilities include reviewing schematics and firmware architectures, designing communication protocols using React, DDS, and databases, and producing architecture definition documents. The position requires expertise in C/C++, Python, and hardware such as ARM Cortex-M/A, RISC-V, FPGAs, and DSPs. You will work with tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to solve technical challenges involving sensor integration, bare-metal development, and RTOS-based systems within a high-tech defense environment.

What you'll do

  • Define system-level architectures for embedded platforms and new sensor integrations.
  • Lead the integration of hardware components, middleware, and application software across multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Translate product and system requirements into actionable hardware/software partitioning and interface specifications.
  • Ensure all designs comply with relevant standards based on target deployments.
  • Review schematics, firmware architectures, and software designs for correctness, safety, and performance.
  • Design and specify inter-system communication strategies using protocols like React, DDS, and databases.
  • Identify technical risks early and define mitigation strategies at the architecture level.
  • Produce architecture definition documents, interface control documents, and system integration plans.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering with 10 years of experience or a Master's degree in Engineering with 8 years of experience.
  • Active Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at time of hire.
  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Experience designing system-level architectures for embedded platforms and integrating hardware, middleware, and software.
  • Ability to translate product requirements into hardware/software partitioning decisions and interface specifications.
  • Proficiency with MCUs/MPUs (ARM Cortex-M/A, RISC-V), FPGAs, DSPs, and C/C++ at an expert level.
  • Familiarity with Linux kernel configuration, device driver development, and Model-Based Design (preferred).
  • Knowledge of secure boot, firmware update mechanisms, and Functional Safety certification or experience (preferred).
