Job Description:

Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer

Location:

Atlanta, Georgia (On-site)

Role Overview This engineering position focuses on the development of real-time software and firmware for rugged, deployable embedded systems utilized in advanced electronics, communications, and sensor environments. The successful candidate will design and develop software that runs directly on microcontrollers, microprocessors, and embedded computing platforms, bridging the gap between hardware and software at the device level. The role requires collaboration with hardware and systems engineering teams to design, test, debug, and maintain critical embedded code from concept to deployment.

Key Responsibilities Design, test, and develop embedded software applications and real-time firmware to meet specified requirements.

Write, debug, and maintain embedded code that directly interfaces with processors, peripherals, and communication interfaces.

Develop designs based on embedded firmware systems, focusing primarily on modern 32-bit microcontroller and microprocessor architectures.

Collaborate closely with hardware and systems engineers to support integration efforts and hardware bring-up.

Develop and maintain software, scripts, and comprehensive documentation to support future system reviews and enhancements.

Provide level of effort estimates for development tasks and contribute to technical reports and research initiatives.

Required Qualifications

Education:

A Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field of study is required.

Experience:

Candidates must possess at least 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree, 3 years with a Master’s degree, or 0 years with a Ph.D. Experience must include hands-on embedded software or firmware development, with a proven ability to move software from concept to deployment independently.

Technical

Skills:

Proficiency in embedded software development for 32-bit architectures (such as ARM Cortex-M or Cortex-A, STM
32, ESP
32, NXP, or TI processors) and bare-metal development using Embedded C/C++ is required. Candidates must understand serial communications, hardware interfaces, real-time operation, and computer architectures, including familiarity with Ethernet and PCI Express communications.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with embedded Linux, including single-board computers, driver development, platform integration, and board-level debugging.

Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and the utilization of SysML within the Systems Engineering "V" lifecycle.

Exposure to open architectures and standards, such as OpenVPX, SOSA, or Government Reference Architectures (GRAs).Familiarity with FPGA development tools and hardware description languages (VHDL or Verilog).Experience architecting or developing reference designs for sensor systems, communications, or safety-critical platforms.
