WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:

While we understand that the perfect candidate doesn’t always exist, we really need the following experience for success as a Low Level Embedded Software Engineer at Leonardo:

• Strong low level embedded C programming skills
• A solid grasp of C++
• Experience in testing and integrating software with firmware (VHDL/Verilog) and hardware
• Excellent debugging skills and application of various strategies
• Use of RTOS’s such as VxWorks or embedded Linux
• Deployment of software to distributed hardware platforms, multicore programming, memory management techniques, device driver development, code optimisation, interrupt-driven designs
• A good understanding of electronics, schematic design and use of test equipment
• Experience developing solutions for ARM and Intel based multicore processing platforms
• Communication protocols (I2C, SPI, USB, Serial, Network, PCIe)
• Familiarity with configuration management tools, defect tracking and peer review

DEMONSTRABLE EXPERIENCE IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS WILL HELP YOU STAND OUT:

• Knowledge of standards such as DO-178C and coding standards such as MISRA C/C++
• Experience of Agile development and Atlassian toolset
• Understanding of the Internet of Things (IoT)
• Experience developing Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment

• Develop high quality and robust low level embedded software for a multicore processing platform
• Be responsible for documenting and recording your work products, keeping them under configuration management and providing plans and reports on progress to your wider team.
• Deliver technical reports and documents, as well as generate and present technical presentations to project stakeholders.
• Be able to follow a project plan and identify key elements within the project plan.
• Report clear and concise progress to the software team lead and Project and Engineering management.
• Work closely with the hardware and systems team, including system integration teams onto target hardware. You will investigate and resolve real integration problems on a complex system.
