Embedded Firmware Engineer

Coda Octopus Engineering Inc., a division of Coda Octopus Group, is a certified small business in search of an experienced Firmware Engineer who can implement low level software/firmware for custom boards and systems that we design and manufacture.

The candidate will work with software for devices ranging from simple micro-controllers to sophisticated multi-processor systems.

Software written by the candidate will typically sit very close to hardware. The candidate requires a strong understanding of hardware interfacing for a variety of applications from custom communications links for telemetry to embedded sonar systems. Coda Octopus Engineering creates rugged electronics, software, and embedded computing solutions for defense and commercial customers. Our small team of experienced and dedicated engineers work on programs spanning sustainment of legacy defense electronics to new development using the latest state-of-the-art technologies.

In this role you will work on the initial system architecture, prototype on dev-boards, implement the final firmware, and take the design through lab testing and verification.

A high level of creativity is required to succeed in this position. The candidate must be able to read and understand requirements, interact with other members of the technical staff, design and implement software, debug software written by other engineers, perform engineering analyses, and participate in design reviews.

The candidate should understand the overall product engineering process, from design kick-off to production; and must be capable of interacting with the various disciplines involved in production of a product or solution.
