Senior Embedded Systems & Hardware-in--Loop Engineer

Description

Would you be excited to architect complete embedded systems from hardware through firmware to software?

Are you interested in developing advanced hardware-in-the-loop test systems supporting cutting edge optical sensors and mission critical defense technologies?

If so, we’re looking for someone like you to join our team at APL!

The Electro Optical Seeker and Infrared Systems group (A1F) of the Air and Missile Defense Sector (AMDS) is seeking a Senior Embedded Systems & Hardware-in-the-Loop Engineer to lead the architecture and implementation of complete embedded systems, custom electronics hardware, FPGA firmware, real-time embedded software, and sophisticated HWIL test systems.

As a Senior Embedded Systems & Hardware-in-the-Loop Engineer, you will:

• Lead multi-disciplinary teams in architecting and developing complete embedded systems from concept through deployment
• Design custom electronics including PCB layouts, FPGA firmware (VHDL/Verilog), and real-time C++ embedded software
• Develop and integrate real-time HWIL test systems for advanced missile seekers, optical sensors, and tracking systems
• Design embedded systems around FPGA MPSoC platforms (Xilinx Zynq Ultra Scale+) including carrier boards, Peta Linux OS, drivers, and applications
• Implement real-time video/image processing pipelines using CUDA, OpenCV, GStreamer, and custom FPGA IP cores
• Interface with advanced sensors (IR/visible cameras, LiDAR, fast steering mirrors, scene projectors) and develop MATLAB/Python analysis tools
• Support field testing, lead design reviews (PDR, CDR), and provide technical leadership and mentoring

You will meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you have:

• A BS degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or related discipline with 8+ years of experience
