Embedded Software Engineer Command Post Technologies, Inc. Embedded Software Engineer Dahlgren, VA Description
* Design, develop, implement, and test high-performance embedded software solutions in C/C++ for Linux-based embedded systems, System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms, and Software Defined Radio (SDR) applications.
* Develop firmware and low-level software that interfaces with FPGA-based hardware, RF front-ends, DMA engines, and custom embedded hardware.
* Design and optimize high-throughput IQ data pipelines between FPGA fabric, system memory, and user-space applications with emphasis on low latency and deterministic performance.
* Develop and maintain software supporting Xilinx/AMD Zynq, Nvidia Jetson, or similar embedded computing platforms.
* Configure and optimize DMA transfers, memory management, cache coherency, and zero-copy architectures for efficient data movement.
* Develop multithreaded real-time software using C/C++, POSIX threads, synchronization primitives, and lock-free programming techniques.
* Optimize software performance using ARM NEON SIMD instructions, vectorized libraries (VOLK, Eigen), or GPU acceleration where appropriate.
* Develop and maintain Linux user-space applications and interfaces for SDR hardware using Industrial I/O (IIO), sysfs, ioctl, or custom device interfaces.
* Support Linux BSP customization and embedded Linux image development using Yocto, Peta Linux, or Buildroot.
* Collaborate with FPGA, RF, electrical, systems, and test engineers to develop integrated hardware/software solutions.
* Analyze system performance, including CPU utilization, memory usage, throughput, latency, and timing behavior to ensure sustained real-time processing.
* Participate in system architecture discussions and assist in defining software requirements and interface specifications.
* Conduct unit testing, integration testing, and performance validation of embedded software.
* Implement secure coding practices and support cyber-hardened embedded software designs.
* Create and maintain technical documentation including software design documentation, interface control documents (ICDs), test procedures, and user guides.
* Participate in Agile development activities including sprint planning, technical reviews, and code walkthroughs.
* Support integration, troubleshooting, and defect resolution for fielded systems.
* Other duties as assigned. Requirements
* A Bachelor of Science (BS) degree from an accredited college or university in an engineering, scientific, or technical discipline.
* Six (6) years of professional technical experience, which includes at least four (4) years of specialized experience performing computer hardware engineering, software design, coding and compilation of code; computer or software requirements, management, computer systems or software integration; and utilizing systems engineering software tools.
* Strong experience developing embedded software in C and/or C++.
* Experience developing software for Linux-based embedded systems or embedded SoC platforms.
* Experience with embedded software development targeting ARM processors, embedded Linux, or heterogeneous processing architectures.
* Experience integrating software with custom hardware and FPGA-based systems.
* Understanding of DMA architectures and high-speed data movement.
* Knowledge of memory management, cache coherency, and efficient memory utilization in embedded systems.
* Experience developing multithreaded software using C++, POSIX threads, synchronization primitives, and real-time processing techniques.
* Strong understanding of real-time software constraints, latency optimization, and deterministic processing.
* Experience working with debugging tools such as JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, serial interfaces, or similar embedded development tools.
* Knowledge of embedded communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, CAN, or similar.
* Familiarity with version control systems (Git preferred).
* Ability to analyze technical problems and produce reliable solutions under schedule constraints.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
* 3+ years of experience…
