The individual in this role needs to have strong embedded design experience to design and modify and evaluate embedded software, programmable logic, electronic apparatus, components, or circuitry for use in electronic equipment and devices.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Participates in all phases of the embedded program development life cycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, integration, and test of all products
• Applies sound engineering principles in the development of digital design/architecture for the target application
• Ownership of design and development of embedded real time software to work with application-specific hardware
• Works with Systems Engineers and Program Management to decompose system-level requirements
• Develop code and architecture documentation
• Conducts design reviews of team members work products
• Works closely with cross functional members of the engineering organization to develop and evaluate interfaces between hardware and software, and operational performance requirements and design of the overall system
• Designs product architectures to meet specific parameters. Including critical timing, complex algorithms, configuration strategies, and module interfaces

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Circuit design, documentation and implementation of high-speed digital electronics, FPGAs, and embedded processor systems
• Ability to read schematics and troubleshoot digital designs down to component level
• Strong understanding of synchronous design practices and data flow management (FIFOs, memories, pipelining).
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills required

EXPERIENCE:
