Senior Embedded Software Engineer; IA)

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will architect, implement, and own embedded

software across next-generation and fielded business-jet cabin systems (IFE/CMS).

Your primary project will be a Yocto-based video encoder/decoder platform that streams HDCPprotected content over IP for in-cabin distribution.

You will work across Embedded Linux, RTOS, and bare-metal environments—driving technical direction on video pipelines, HDCP integration, FPGA interfaces, and platform migration while mentoring junior engineers and collaborating closely with hardware, user-applications, FPGA,

systems, quality, and cross-company teams. This role owns complete subsystems end-to-end: from architecture through verification, fromnew product development through sustaining engineering of fielded product lines.

Schedule: 4x10 (Mon–Thu) or 5x8 (Mon–Fri), core hours 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

Compensation: $160,000–$185,000 per year

Work Eligibility: Must be a U.S. Citizen and authorized to work in the United States

• Own subsystem architecture and delivery for embedded products, driving reliability and maintainability across
• Lead the video encoder/decoder platform, implementing HDCP-protected content streaming over IP for cabin-wide distribution (RX/TX), including FPGA PL/PS integration on Zynq-based designs.
• Develop and maintain device drivers for audio, video, and other subsystem modules using schematics and component datasheets.
• Debug and root-cause issues across SoC platforms (Xilinx Zynq, Qualcomm, NXP), peripherals (I2C/SPI/UART, GPIO, USB, Ethernet), and networking stacks (TCP/UDP, multicast, RTP/RTSP) using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and trace tools.
• Mentor junior engineers, lead sustaining efforts, prioritize defect backlogs, and coordinate release planning with product management.
• Manage component obsolescence and end-of-life transitions; evaluate and integrate alternate parts with minimal design disruption.
• Maintain certification-aligned processes (requirements, code reviews, regression tests, verification evidence) and engineering best practices across fielded and new products.
• Collaborate cross-functionally across FPGA, hardware, manufacturing, quality, and field support teams to resolve issues and drive continuous improvement.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 8+ years of embedded software development experience.

Core Technical Skills

• Strong experience with embedded Linux, including Yocto/Open Embedded-based BSP development, kernel configuration, driver work, and Peta Linux migration.
• Hands-on experience with embedded video subsystems (RX/TX)—V4L2, GStreamer, or similar—and familiarity with HDCP or similar content-protection protocols.
• Experience with ARM-based SoC architectures (Xilinx Zynq, Qualcomm, NXP i.MX), including device tree configuration, BSP bring-up, and driver-level integration.
• Strong debugging and root cause analysis across hardware/software boundaries using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and trace tools.
• Experience with communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet) in distributed or networked embedded environments.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, datasheets, and digital hardware designs.
• Experience sustaining embedded products through their full lifecycle, including post-release maintenance and field issue resolution.
• Disciplined approach to regression testing, requirements traceability, and change-impact analysis.
• Proficiency with Git, code reviews, and design reviews; familiarity with Atlassian tools (Jira/Confluence).
• Ability to ramp up on legacy codebases and make safe, well-scoped changes with minimal regression risk.
• Excellent communication…
