Description:
Embedded Software Engineer will be working on embedded software for electro-optic and smart munitions systems specifically on high-performance missile and rocket technology.
Other technologies developed are related to millimeter wave radar, image and signal processing and systems integration.
The engineer will develop embedded software for a hard real-time operating system on custom hardware.
Development is first coded using Linux operating system (OS) but moved to the deployed real-time OS for final testing and delivery.
Selected candidate will integrate algorithms into C++ applications.
Candidate is expected to be proficient in C/C++.
Tools and other non-embedded code may be developed on Windows OS.
Software Engineer to develop and maintain real-time embedded software applications.
Typical applications are software products related to image processing, target detection and tracking, missile guidance/ navigation/ control algorithms, missile launchers, system control, built-in test, and system communication.
Development will be in C and C++ hosted on either a PC or Unix environment and targeted for an embedded processor running either VxWorks or Integrity as the real-time operating system.
Familiarity with standard communication busses and protocols including RS-232, RS-422, MIL-STD-1553 and Ethernet is helpful but not required.
Software development lifecycle including architecture, design, code implementation, and integration and test.
technical task leadership and/or be a subject matter expert in an area relevant to products described in the above paragraph.
real-time embedded software development along with demonstrated technical leadership.
Use source code control and issue tracking tools along with using modern test tools to do unit test and static analysis s kills
