Senior Embedded Software Engineer, High-Performance Signal Processing

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Build next generation counter-UAV defense systems that will be used to defend human lives, critical infrastructure, and high value assets for the United States and its allies.
• Write high-performance, well-tested production code in C/C++ across platforms ranging from low-power MCUs to high-performance multi-core processors.
• Develop and maintain radar and RF sensing systems signal processing pipelines ensuring real-time performance and low latency of the radar system.
• Work with hardware engineers on component selection, board bring-up, and optimal hardware-software trade-offs (power, cost, form factor).
• Develop functional and lab tests to validate the accuracy and performance of newly implemented embedded software or new features.
• Own embedded software quality, reliability and performance by proactively identifying, documenting/tracking and fixing issues to maintain high reliability of Mach’s radar systems.
• Contribute to project planning, including communicating risks/blockers and manage engineering trade-offs.
• Author clear software specifications, software architecture designs and testing procedures to support manufacturing and scalability.

Job requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience developing embedded software for radar, RF sensing, signal processing, wireless or aerospace products.
• Proficiency in low level C/C++ for embedded systems with the ability to write clean, well-tested, and efficient code.
• Proven experience with RTOS or bare-metal systems, in memory constrained environments.
• Ability to read schematics and bring-up new boards and processors, including bring-up peripherals/drivers and embedded code from scratch.
• Deep understanding of standard communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN and Ethernet) used to control the system and interface with customer platforms.
• Skilled in performance optimization of high performance systems to meet real-time software constraints and achieve optimal system performance.
• Ability to debug, test and validate embedded software using functional tests, logic/protocol analyzers and lab tests to ensure the functionality of embedded software.
