Experienced Missions Systems Software Engineers – Embedded

Description

The company is hiring experienced embedded software engineers for its mission systems software team in Berkeley, Missouri.

You would join a collaborative integrated product team that builds features for safety-critical and mission-critical flight software.

You would work through every stage of development: breaking down requirements, defining architecture, designing algorithms, writing code, testing with hardware in the loop, and documenting the results.

Code moves through a CI/CD build pipeline under an agile approach that puts code quality, security and automation first.

Areas of interest include sensor fusion, mission management, resource management, fire control and weapons engagement, mission processing, stores management software, tactical communications, third-party software integration, and pilot vehicle interface software.

Candidates are matched to teams and projects based on program need, background and career goals.

The team is agile and works alongside software, analysis, integration and test, sensors, and system test engineers.

Senior engineers would also write technical product plans, lead and mentor junior engineers, and act as a point of contact with senior leadership and government counterparts.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, debug and maintain embedded software that fits into devices and systems and meets industry, customer, safety and regulatory standards.
• Read customer requirements and turn them into software designs for embedded products.
• Write code for embedded systems that run on specialized hardware.
• Connect embedded software to hardware components.
• Measure and improve the efficiency and stability of embedded software systems.
• Test and debug embedded devices and systems.
• Keep up with new technologies, tools, frameworks and regulation changes that affect software and hardware work.
• Advise on how software and hardware domains fit together.
• Track the performance of internal and supplier software teams to confirm products and processes follow project plans and industry standards.
• Handle embedded software project management tasks.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree.
• Ability to obtain a U.S. Secret security clearance after starting.
• 5 or more years of related work experience, or an equivalent mix of technical education and experience.
• 3+ years of full life-cycle software work, including development, modeling, simulation, testing and/or analysis, using C, C++, Python, Java, Ada and/or Linux.
• 3+ years of designing, documenting and maintaining architectures, algorithms, interfaces and designs for software systems.
• Preferred: Bachelor of Science from an accredited program in engineering, engineering technology (including manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science or computer science, plus 5+ years of related work experience; or a bachelor's degree plus 9+ years of directly related work experience; or 13+ years of related, relevant experience.
• Preferred: Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science or a related engineering field.
• Preferred: Experience debugging technical problems involving memory or timing.
• Preferred: Familiarity with tools and techniques such as embedded system software, C, C++, Rust, Linux, VxWorks, containers, Git, CI/CD DevSecOps and/or Cameo.
• Preferred: Strong verbal and written communication, teamwork, technical and integration skills.
• Preferred: Experience developing embedded real-time software.
• Preferred: Experience developing Operational Flight Program (OFP) software for an aircraft platform.
• Preferred: Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
• Preferred: Experience with object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD).
• Preferred: Experience with Agile software development.
• Preferred: Experience with open architecture standards such as Open Mission Systems (OMS) and Open Communication Standard (OCS), using the Universal Command and Control Interface (UCI).

Conditions

Security: you must be able to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship, with an interim and/or final U.S. Secret clearance needed after starting; program access also requires U.S. citizenship only.

Export control: the role requires a U.S. Person under 22 C.F.R. §120.62, meaning a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, refugee or asylee.

Travel: some travel may be required, up to 10% of the time.

Shift 1, based in the United States of America.

This is not a safety-sensitive position.

This position is not contingent upon program award.

Language requirements: none.

Selection includes a technical coding assessment; not completing it removes you from consideration.

Candidates must satisfy the company's conflict of interest assessment.

The company is a drug-free workplace, and post-offer applicants and employees may be tested for marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines, PCP and alcohol when criteria are met under company policy.
