Job Summary

The Embedded Software Engineer is a generalist who designs, develops, debugs, tests, and implements embedded software in systems. This role will join a multi-discipline, high performing team of Engineers.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite in Cape Canaveral.

• Develop software and firmware source code in C/C++, Embedded C, and other languages.
• Requires an understanding of common communication interfaces like SPI, I2C, USB, UART, and others.
• Utilize version control, simulation, debugging, and other development tools.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware engineers.
• Provide engineering support for testing, deployment, and updates.
• Develop highly reliable software solutions based on the needs of the Engineering Team and mission
• Collaborate with the Engineering Team on architecture, design and code review.
• Adhere to all Quality Management Systems standards and procedures
• Treat all team members with respect and dignity ensuring a collaborative culture is continually developed and maintained.
• Other duties as assigned**

Required Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 3 or more years of experience in embedded software development.
• Strong C and C++ proficiency, with a working knowledge of modern embedded development practices (cross-compilation, toolchains, JTAG/SWD debugging, version control, code review)
• Demonstrated experience writing bare-metal device drivers for common embedded interfaces: I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, GPIO
• Experience with Linux at the systems level — userspace driver development against /dev, sysfs, /proc, character devices, and standard kernel APIs
• Requires a firm understanding of FPGA design process including requirements, preliminary design, peer reviews, detailed design, test plan generation, and integration and test
• Comfort reading datasheets, reference manuals, and schematics; ability to debug at the register level using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and bus sniffers
• Board bring-up experience: validating power, clocks, peripherals, and boot stages on new hardware
• Experience with DevSecOPs, Git and JIRA with a demonstrated understanding.
• Knowledge of Linux embedded software development including Firmware Images, Linux kernel configuration modules and user-space drivers.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365 including Excel, Word, Outlook and Teams.

Desired Skills and Qualities

• Real-time operating system experience (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, or similar) — task scheduling, IPC primitives, ISR design
• FPGA development experience (Verilog/VHDL, HDL simulation, timing closure) or experience writing software that interfaces with FPGAs over PCIe, AXI, or memory-mapped registers
• Experience with SoCs that combine FPGA fabric and a hard processor subsystem (Xilinx Zynq / Zynq UltraScale+, Microchip PolarFire SoC, Intel Agilex SoC, or similar) - including AXI interconnect partitioning, shared-memory schemes, and host - fabric DMA.
• Familiarity with build systems for embedded Linux (Yocto, Buildroot)
• Exposure to hi
