Embedded Software Engineer; Experienced - ASL

Overview

The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry. GTRI's researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry.

Georgia Tech's mission is to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition. The Institute has nine key values that are foundational to everything we do:

Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national, and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact.

The Applied Systems Laboratory (ASL) Systems Integration Division (SID) supports systems integration, system design, and product development projects for the Department of Defense (DoD) systems. SID researches military systems specializing in avionics, electronic warfare, autonomous systems, intelligence systems, tactical communication/datalink systems; and live, virtual, constructive training solutions. The SID team s engineering roles include Systems Engineering, Algorithm Engineering, Datalink Engineering, and Embedded Software Engineering.

The Embedded Real-Time Software Engineer is responsible for developing hard real-time embedded systems software. The engineer designs, implements, and tests solutions executing on limited-resource hardware, interfaces to real-time operating systems, device drivers, and board devices. The role involves allocating hardware board devices, managing hardware device access, architecting software scheduling and low latency, controlling system states and modes, managing system components status and health, and developing domain-specific applications.

The engineer performs full software development lifecycle tasks, applies disciplined software development processes, utilizes safety and security unique processes and designs, and incorporates open system software frameworks. Proficiency includes programming languages for real-time computing applications such as C and C++, and knowledge in software development principles, operating systems, CI/CD, Dev Ops, API development, container development, and distributed systems. The engineer works as part of a broad team of researchers to innovate new concepts, identify technology stakeholders, and execute challenging research in the national interest.
