What is an embedded programmer?

Embedded programmers are software developers who specialize in writing code for embedded systems—computers designed to perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electrical systems. These programmers typically work with hardware like microcontrollers, sensors, and other specialized devices, often using languages such as C or C++. Their work ensures that devices like medical equipment, automotive controls, consumer electronics, and industrial machines operate reliably and efficiently. Embedded programmers must have a strong understanding of both software development and hardware integration.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an embedded programmer?

To thrive as an Embedded Programmer, you need a solid background in computer science or electrical engineering, strong proficiency in C/C++ programming, and experience with microcontroller architectures. Familiarity with development tools like debuggers, oscilloscopes, version control systems (e.g., Git), and real-time operating systems (RTOS) is typically required. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication are essential soft skills that set high performers apart. These skills and qualities ensure reliable, efficient code development and smooth collaboration within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What are common challenges faced by embedded programmers when integrating hardware and software components?

Embedded programmers often encounter challenges such as limited memory, processing power, and real-time constraints when integrating hardware and software. Debugging can be more complex due to the interaction between code and physical devices, requiring specialized tools like oscilloscopes or logic analyzers. Additionally, ensuring compatibility across various hardware platforms and managing low-level drivers can add to the complexity, making strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail essential in this role.

Job description

Radiance Technologies, a rapidly growing employee-owned company, is searching for talented scientists and engineers with interest in microelectronics security and systems security development to join our Advanced Technology Development Operation (ATDO). Modern embedded systems face physical security threats across the entire system lifecycle. Addressing these challenges requires individuals capable of out-of-the-box thinking, with an innovative mindset and the ability to work as part of multi-disciplinary engineering teams. ATDO is involved in the development and analysis of anti-tamper / protective technology capabilities and products, advancing the state-of-the-art in areas ranging from secure microelectronics packaging to system-level security for weapons systems.

ATDO is looking for an Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer with the breadth and versatility to work at all design and development stages, from ideation to formal production acceptance testing for electronics subsystems utilizing embedded commercial processors, ASICs, SoCs, GPUs and FGPAs. The candidate must have experience turning up initial custom hardware prototype designs, and maturing said prototypes into deployable solutions. Must work well as part of small, fast-paced and mission-driven team(s).

Experience with system security architectures and cryptography is desirable but not required.

Requirements:

  • B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or relevant technical field with 10+ years direct experience developing embedded systems (Advanced STEM degrees will substitute for experience on a year-for-year basis)

  • Active Secret security clearance or the ability to obtain a DoD security clearance

  • Understanding of schematics, ability to perform lab tests on designs and components, experience with custom electronics turn-up, and troubleshooting and improving new and existing embedded designs

  • Embedded Debugging / Emulation

  • Real-time OS experience

  • Embedded Linux and Linux hardware driver creation

  • Expert level C programmer

  • FPGA interface and integration

Desirable Qualifications / Skills (some or all would be viewed positively):

  • Advanced degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or relevant technical field with 15+ years of relevant work experience

  • Active Top Secret clearance

  • Demonstrated expertise as technical lead / architect for embedded projects - conceptualizing solutions to open-ended problems, deriving implementable requirements, and conveying design intent to a broader team.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset - propose new ideas, processes, tools and solutions

  • Excel at verbal and written communication with customers and team members by providing reports, technical documentation, and guidance as well as participation in the systems engineering process including architecture selection

  • Microcode

  • Secure Boot

  • Bare metal development

  • Cryptographic algorithm implementation

  • Development of cryptographic primitives beyond encryption

  • Advanced knowledge of Roots of Security / Secure Processors. Hardware Security experience - tamper vulnerability research including hardware exploitation, side-channel attacks, fault-injection attacks, and nation-state level reverse engineering threat vectors

  • Assisting ATDO in capturing additional business through customer interactions, proposal development, and authoring enhanced white papers

  • Authoring of software development plans

  • Proficiency and willingness to mentor junior technical personnel

Security Clearance:

Applicants selected may be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Radiance Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
