Embedded Software Designer information

What is the difference between Embedded Software Designer vs Firmware Engineer?

AspectEmbedded Software DesignerFirmware Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fieldsBachelor's or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields
Work EnvironmentEmbedded systems development, often in hardware labs or software teamsFirmware development for microcontrollers, often in hardware or software teams
Industry UsageConsumer electronics, automotive, medical devices, industrial automationConsumer electronics, IoT devices, automotive, aerospace

Embedded Software Designers focus on creating software that runs on embedded systems, often working closely with hardware. Firmware Engineers develop low-level code that directly interacts with hardware components. While both roles require similar skills and credentials, Embedded Software Designers typically work on higher-level embedded applications, whereas Firmware Engineers focus on low-level firmware development.

Job description

Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer

Real-time embedded software

Location: Northridge, CA

Position Overview

Synovix is seeking two experienced Embedded Software Engineers to support an on-site missile and weapon -systems program for a defense customer in Northridge, California. The engineers will design, implement, integrate, and verify real-time embedded software across the development lifecycle.

What You Will Do
  • Design, develop, integrate, and test real-time embedded software for safety- and mission-critical weapon system applications.
  • Translate system and software requirements into maintainable software architecture, detailed designs, code, and verification evidence.
  • Develop primarily in C and C++ using the Green Hills development environment or a comparable embedded toolchain.
  • Integrate software with processors, sensors, actuators, interfaces, and laboratory test assets.
  • Diagnose timing, memory, concurrency, interface, and hardware/software integration issues on target hardware.
  • Support peer reviews, configuration management, defect resolution, and test readiness; guide architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and coordinate with systems, GNC, algorithms, modeling, test, and hardware teams.
Required Qualifications
  • At least 8 years of relevant embedded software engineering experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
  • Demonstrated C and/or C++ development experience in a real-time or resource-constrained embedded environment.
  • Experience with the complete software lifecycle: requirements, design, implementation, integration, verification, and problem resolution.
  • Experience debugging software on target hardware using standard embedded development and laboratory tools.
  • Ability to work full-time on site in Northridge, California.
  • U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain a U.S. government security clearance if required by the program; an active clearance is not required at hire.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Missile, weapon system, avionics, flight control, seeker, or other aerospace/defense embedded software experience.
  • Green Hills MULTI, INTEGRITY RTOS, VxWorks, embedded Linux, or comparable RTOS/toolchain experience.
  • Experience with device drivers, board support packages, low-level interfaces, middleware, or hardware abstraction layers.
  • Familiarity with deterministic scheduling, interprocess communication, data buses, networking protocols, and performance optimization.
  • Experience with model-based development, software-in-the-loop, processor-in-the-loop, or hardware-in-the-loop test environments.
