The Marvin Group is a Strategic Partner for Global Alternate Mission Equipment and Sustainment
The Marvin Group, a leading defense contractor, plays a crucial role in the development and manufacturing of various systems for military aerospace and vehicles. Based in Southern California near the Los Angeles International Airport, The Marvin Group consists of Marvin Engineering (MEC), Marvin Test Solutions (MTS) and Marvin Land Systems (MLS). Marvin Engineering designs and produces military Alternate Mission Equipment. Marvin Test Solutions designs and manufactures armament Test Equipment.

Marvin Land Systems specializes in the design and build of power and thermal management systems. For over 60 years we have maintained “A Tradition of Excellence”, serving as a trusted source for our unwavering commitment to supporting all branches of the Department of Defense and our global allies. Our collaboration extends across a diverse array of programs and platforms, including major military prime contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon.

POSITION SUMMARY:

This position requires a strong background in embedded system firmware development with an emphasis on military avionics applications including standard bus interface such as MIL-STD-1553, CAN, RS232, power switching for solenoids and motor drivers, analog inputs, and conversion circuits. The ideal candidate will have experience in the design, simulation, implementation, and validation of prototype to flight design that may include application-specific implementation of FPGAs and/or microprocessors.

The candidate should have a broad background emphasizing work with embedded controllers bridging the gap between hardware and software architectures ensuring system performance, security, and stability for electro-mechanical devices and subsystems, preferably for use in military or commercial aviation. Knowledge of airborne weapon systems and /or weapon carriage equipment is strongly desirable.

Specialist knowledge regarding Hardware Description Language (HDL), simulation, synthesis, and implementation tools such as Verilog, System Verilog, Questa, Synplify, Synopsis, and implementation of FPGAs and CPLDs from Microsemi, Altera, and STMicroelectronics will be a strong differentiator for candidate selection.

Experience with C, C++ embedded software development for ARM-based CPU architecture, DSP, SoC such as STM
32x, Cortex M4 MCUs for 1553 and CAN bus, memory controller, discrete input interfaces, and ADC data processing for MIL-STD-1760 messages is highly desirable. The candidate must be flexible and able to work effectively in a fast-paced environment as a member of a cross functional team and as an individual contributor. A successful candidate will be able to show evidence of their capability to excel in performance tasks as an individual contributor/specialist with a minimum of oversight, and to function well as a member of a cross-functional team.
