Required Qualifications:

BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience

4+ years of firmware/embedded software development experience

Strong C coding ability for embedded systems

Hands-on experience developing and executing test procedures for embedded firmware

Solid understanding of coding best practices, board bring-up, and debugging

Experience with common bus protocols (SPI, I2C, CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet)

Familiarity with requirements generation and linking requirements to verification tests

Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills

Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with one or more microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, etc.)

Experience developing firmware for high-reliability or safety-critical applications

Experience building automated test frameworks or test harnesses for embedded systems

Understanding of requirements management tools (e.g., Jama, DOORS)

Comfortable with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for test automation

Experience as the firmware technical lead on fast-paced, cross-functional projects
