Role Posting Log in to save

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer joins a cross-functional team dedicated to developing the next generation of embedded system security. This role involves building bare-bone software without an operating system, including memory map interfacing and managing communication buses such as SPI/QSPI, UART, and I2C. The engineer will perform JTAG remote debug, work with PTP, and develop against FPGAs like Polarfire, Versal, and Kintex Ultrascale. Key technical requirements include proficiency in C for embedded environments, model-based systems engineering using MBSE/SySML and Magic Draw, and knowledge of network protocols like RSTP, VLAN, and Auto Negotiation. Additionally, the position requires using GitLab for defining runners, performing static code analysis with Parasoft/CppCheck, and implementing anti-tamper security measures to solve complex defense technology challenges.
