Embedded Linux Jobs in Pennsylvania (NOW HIRING)

We're looking foranEmbedded SoftwareEngineer to join our R&Dteam in Granada, Spain.

Our Technology:

We're the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (R-PNT) solutions that improve the reliability, performance and safety of critical applications,and high-risk operations, even in GPS/GNSS denied environments. We provide virtually fail-safe GNSS and PNT solutions for military and commercial applications worldwide.

To this end, we have developed industry-leading solutions that are built around a sound foundation of ultra-accurate synchronization (sub-ns) and frequency distribution services. Thesecombine to deliver a broad set of products and technical solutions based on the enhanced White Rabbit PTP synchronization technology for myriad applications, ranging from timing distribution in financial networks to robust and reliable positioning.

In addition, Safran has great expertise in Time Sensitive Networking through several engagements carried out in the framework of aerospace with ESA to provide deterministic communications with zero-packet loss. Overall, we are a highly dynamic company with a clear focus on research and innovation for providing reliable solutions that have robust, dependable, and reliable timing at their core.

The Position:

Asan Embedded Software Engineer, youwillstart working on a highly motivating engagement with the R&D Engineering Team in Granada, Spain, where you will be expected to develop the main elements of a synchronization system that extends White Rabbit timing overafree spacecommunication interface. Thus, you willassist in thedesign, integration, and validation of the main software and embedded firmware elementsof a prototype for wireless White Rabbit timing.This could include the design of custom Linux kernel modules and drivers,specialized Linux images, user-levelapplications,software libraries, or even testautomation procedures.Moreover,you will implement the necessary extensions tooursynchronization protocol touse the new wireless interface, anddebug and diagnose any issuesarising during the design of theseextensions.The assembly of experimental demonstrators and travel to showcase proofs of concept might be required during the final stages of the project.

What you'll be doing:

• 
  You will be developing the software elements of our current embedded Timing products and the next generation Safrans incoming products. This will include, but is not limited to, writing custom kernel modules and extensions to our synchronization protocols.
• 
  You will be expected to validatethe software components that you implement,ensure their operation in embedded Linux, and debug complexissues arising from the integration of multiple SW and FPGA elementson an embeddedsystem.
•

• 
  You will carry out development tasks according to project plan.
• 
  You will provide estimates of workload required to complete specified tasks and plans work accordingly.
• 
  You will contribute to the development and the validation of components.
• 
  You will check the quality of the deliverables through systematic unit testing
• 
  You will participate in final qualification of deliverables, including the validation of documentation
