PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Master’s degree in computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or physics with 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Experience developing image processing software.
• Experienced with embedded design of real-time electrical-mechanical assemblies that include motion, state machines, and real-time feedback.
• Experience with various of embedded communication protocols including I2C, SPI, LVDS, RS485, RS232, Ethernet (100Mbps, 1Gb), etc.
• Understand software programming at the OSI Layer 1 – Physical layer.
• Understanding of FPGA and General Purpose Processors (GPP), and Graphical Processor Unit (GPU) development.

The software engineering candidate will be responsible for programming software within a Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) process, which includes the design, development, implementation, unit testing, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and debugging of software programs for new design, existing enhancements and new software-intensive systems and sensor-based products. Along with software development, you will write unit tests and support software/hardware in the loop validation systems as part of our continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) system. Duties include software requirements analysis, developing software applications for targeted hardware platforms, development of software test products for automation, and understanding software development lifecycles for developing software capabilities. As a software engineer, you will:

• Develop application software to meet our mission and program requirements.
• Develop unit tests to perform functional verification of static code as well as develop functional software and hardware in the loop tests to facilitate validation and long-term reliability.
• Updating existing software to add new features and resolve bugs.
• Understand various debuggers, and how to use debuggers on software applications.
• Design, develop and modify software sub-systems, using scientific analysis and comparison to mathematical models that enable prediction and outcome comparison and reporting along with clarity on the edge and corner cases.
• Participate in code and design reviews.
• Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new sensor hardware, or to improve the performance of sensors.
• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components.
• Integrate existing sensor-based software into new or modified sensors or operating environments.
• Write and review software and system documentation.
• Provide recommendations for improving the design, documentation and software development process.
