Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Real-Time Systems

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our team, specializing in real-time embedded systems for Engine Control Units (ECUs). This role offers a unique opportunity to shape software architecture across current and future engine platforms while working hands-on with cutting-edge technology.

What You'll Do

• Architect, design, and implement real-time embedded software for ECUs, including bootloaders, schedulers, and control logic.
• Develop robust C/C++ code following DO‑178C, MISRA, and related safety-critical standards.
• Translate system models from MATLAB/Simulink into embedded implementations or integrate auto-generated code.
• Work with custom hardware—MCUs, FPGAs, sensors, actuators, and power electronics.
• Build and execute SIL/HIL validation using platforms like dSPACE, NI, or Vector.
• Lead root-cause analysis using lab tools including oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
• Produce high-quality engineering documentation: requirements, design descriptions, test plans, verification reports, and traceability artifacts.
• Contribute to safety assessments, including FMEA and hazard analyses.
• Support version control and configuration management using Git, SVN, and related tools.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 8+ years of experience in embedded software development within aerospace, defense, or other safety-critical environments.
• Expertise with both bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware.
• Strong hands-on experience with microcontrollers such as ARM Cortex-M, TI C2000, Infineon Aurix, or similar.
• Solid understanding of control systems, signal processing, and real-time constraints.

Nice to Have

• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink Embedded Coder.
• Familiarity with communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, RS-422, ARINC 429).
• Exposure to model-based design and software robustness testing tools.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of $120,000 - $150,000 annually.
• Comprehensive relocation support to help you move and settle in your new role.
• Opportunity to work on innovative projects in the aerospace and defense sector.
• Collaborative and supportive team environment.
• Professional development opportunities and mentorship.
