Senior Embedded Software Engineer The Senior Embedded Software Engineer joins the Battlespace Awareness team to develop next-generation radar seeker products. This role involves full-stack embedded development, where you will design, develop, and deploy software ranging from application-level code on ARM-based microprocessors and hard processor cores to low-level drivers for hardware at the bus level. You will work with an interdisciplinary team to perform board bring-up, hardware-software integration, and field testing using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and RF/digital test equipment. The position requires proficiency in modern C++ or Rust, embedded Linux development, and experience with protocols like SPI, I2C, and UART. You will solve complex technical challenges at the electrical and software boundaries to create radar architectures for advanced surveillance and targeting. Key technologies include ARM-based architectures, firmware development, and potential exposure to high-speed interfaces like PCIe and Ethernet.
