Embedded Systems Software Engineer

Overview

You'll help power the next generation of advanced centrifuge technology by designing the brains and electronics behind our mission‑critical control systems. You’ll work on everything from TI-based embedded programming to motor‑control logic and custom instrumentation hardware—bringing ideas to life in development labs and production environments.

You’ll lead embedded software and control‑electronics design for new machine control and motor‑drive systems supporting development activities in Oak Ridge and operations in Piketon. You’ll develop requirements, specs, and test plans; design analog/digital circuits; troubleshoot systems; and guide manufacturing of electronics and prototypes. You’ll evaluate performance, implement electrical system modifications, support instrumentation and controls, and collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and external engineering teams to keep projects on schedule and performing at their best.
