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.

Re-posted 3 days ago

Job description

We are seeking a talented and motivated Hardware in the Loop and Embedded Engineer to join our Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) department in either our Mooresville, NC or Huntsville, AL office. In this role, you will be responsible for modeling and simulation of high-speed aerodynamic vehicles (sub, super, and hypersonic) in real-time computation environments, as well as the hardware interactions with Corvid's flight computer. You also will be responsible for the expansion of our hardware in the loop (HIL) systems, helping to derive requirements for simulator systems for various flight hardware such as GPS receivers, tactical actuators, and seekers. You will help to bridge the gap between desktop simulation of GNC algorithms to verification of the algorithms on flight hardware.
The ideal candidate thrives on solving complex, multidisciplinary problems (aerospace M&S, hardware I/O, and programming) and possesses a strong blend of systems thinking, real-time algorithm performance, and hands-on simulation experience.
Typical tasking will include:
  • HIL development and maintenance: Further mature Corvid's HIL systems to integrate new GNC hardware units under test, develop user interfaces and processes to increase user-friendliness of the system, and integrate the core six degree of freedom (6DOF) flight simulation with new test apparatus such as flight motion tables.
  • Develop new vehicle dynamics models: Work with other supporting groups at Corvid to enable modeling in real-time simulations of new vehicle dynamics models, to include new aerodynamic models, actuators, sensors, and rocket motors.
  • Integrate new GNC hardware: Work with other embedded systems engineers in the GNC department to define HIL requirements for integrating new flight hardware, such as new actuators, datalinks, GPS receivers, seekers, etc.
  • Verification & Validation (V&V): Work with GNC algorithm developers to perform V&V activities in real-time scenarios. Support program reviews with V&V data artifacts from the HIL runs
  • Modeling & Simulation: Understand M&S of aerospace 6DOF vehicles, assist 6DOF developers in developing vehicle dynamics models.

Requirements:
  • Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science (Master's degree or Ph.D. with a GNC focus preferred)
  • 5+ years of experience in embedded systems engineering or experience with HIL development and testing, specifically applied to GNC, robotics, or autonomous systems
  • Proficiency with C++, Python, Linux, and Git version control
  • Solid understanding of embedded systems (microcontrollers, embedded Linux), alongside familiarity with modeling and simulation of aerospace vehicles and numerical methods (Runge-Kutta integration, etc.)
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear requirements and documentation
  • Experience with GPS simulation and hands-on experience with HIL/SIL testing and test bench instrumentation

About Corvid:
Corvid Technologies is an engineering firm specializing in using high-fidelity, computational modeling and simulation to analyze, design and manufacture products for aerospace, DoD, and commercial customers. We offer a fast-paced and flexible work environment that encourages creativity and collaboration. Our team works on difficult, cutting-edge technical challenges using state-of-the-art technologies and resources.
Why Corvid:
We value our employee-owners and in addition to providing challenging work opportunities and competitive pay, Corvid believes in providing a strong benefit package that provides value to our team members at all stages of their career.
Corvid benefits include:
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan via our generous 401(k) Matching
  • Medical Insurance via Blue Cross - including a PPO and High-Deductible offering (with company HSA contribution)
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) based on years of industry experience (not tenure)
  • Career Development and Continuing Education opportunities
  • Company provided life, long-term and short-term disability insurance
  • Incentive opportunities to reward strong performance and corporate growth
  • Attractive corporate facilities that include Lake Norman access, out-door activities (including grills) and more
