* The Opportunity:

Lead the development of next-generation battery-powered test instrumentation from concept through production for military aircraft applications with CACI's Aerospace Solutions Group on-site in San Antonio, TX.

As the Embedded Systems Engineer you will design cutting-edge embedded systems with low Size, Weight, And Power (SWAP) requirements utilizing ARM-based architectures

developing advanced test equipment. You will collaborate directly with systems engineering teams to create innovative solutions for military avionics test applications.

Be part of a multi-disciplinary engineering team supporting critical USAF programs with opportunities for professional growth in aerospace and defense technologies.

Responsibilities:

* Design and develop battery-powered test instrumentation systems utilizing ARM architecture (Cortex-A/M series processors)

* Implement embedded system power optimization techniques to achieve low SWAP requirements for portable test equipment

* Design circuit cards using Altium Designer from schematic capture through PCB layout, fabrication, and assembly

* Develop and integrate FPGA designs for signal processing, control, and data acquisition applications

* Perform circuit analysis, simulation, and verification using industry-standard tools and test equipment

* Develop embedded software and firmware for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Edge and Ubuntu Linux platforms

* Integrate and troubleshoot serial communication protocols including I2C, USB, RS-232, RS-485, and SPI

* Collaborate with systems engineering team to develop requirements, system architectures, and verification strategies

* Support product lifecycle management from concept to delivery within cost, scope, and schedule constraints

* Conduct design reviews and peer reviews, providing technical documentation and justification for design decisions

* Interface with USAF customers regarding development progress, technical solutions, and requirements clarification

* Troubleshoot and debug hardware and software issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and diagnostic tools

Qualifications:

Required:

* Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related engineering discipline

* 7 years of professional experience in embedded systems design and development

* Proven experience with ARM architecture (Cortex-A or Cortex-M) including hardware design and firmware development

* Circuit card design experience using Altium Designer including multi-layer PCB design, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC considerations

* Extensive FPGA programming experience (Xilinx, Intel/Altera, or Lattice) with HDL coding (VHDL or Verilog)

* Strong background in embedded system power optimization techniques and battery management

* Proficiency with serial communication protocols: I2C, USB, RS-232, RS-485, and SPI

* Experience developing embedded software on Linux platforms (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Edge and/or Ubuntu)

* U.S. citizenship with ability to obtain a DoD security clearance

* Willing and able to work on-site in San Antonio, TX

Desired:

* Experience with avionics systems, aerospace applications, and U.S. Air Force programs

* Automated Test Equipment (ATE) or Test Program Set (TPS) development experience

* Familiarity with MIL-STD-1760 (aircraft/store electrical interconnection) and/or MIL-STD-1553 (data bus) armament protocols

* Development experience in accordance with MIL-PRF-28800, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461

* Experience with real-time operating systems and edge computing technologies

* Product development through production in accordance with AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality standards

* Experience with Python, C/C++, or scripting languages for test automation

* Red Hat certification (RHCE or RHCSA)
