Embedded Software Engineer Co Op information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Embedded Software Engineer Co Op, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Embedded Software Engineer Co Op, you generally need a solid understanding of C/C++ programming, microcontroller fundamentals, and coursework or experience in embedded systems. Familiarity with debugging tools, version control systems like Git, and possibly real-time operating systems (RTOS) is often expected. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication abilities help you excel in collaborative engineering environments. These skills are crucial for developing reliable embedded software and ensuring project goals are met efficiently and accurately.

What types of projects and collaboration can I expect as an Embedded Software Engineer Co Op?

As an Embedded Software Engineer Co Op, you'll typically work on real-world projects such as developing, testing, or debugging firmware for embedded systems used in products like consumer electronics, automotive components, or industrial devices. You’ll collaborate closely with senior engineers, hardware teams, and sometimes quality assurance to integrate and validate software with hardware prototypes. Expect to participate in code reviews, daily stand-ups, and hands-on troubleshooting sessions. This collaborative environment helps you gain practical experience and build a strong foundation for future career growth.

What is an Embedded Software Engineer Co-Op?

An Embedded Software Engineer Co-Op is a student or recent graduate who works temporarily with a company to gain hands-on experience in developing software for embedded systems. These systems are specialized computing devices found in products like cars, medical devices, and industrial machines. The Co-Op role involves writing code, testing software, debugging, and collaborating with engineers to solve real-world challenges. This position provides practical experience that complements academic studies and helps prepare students for a full-time career in embedded software engineering.

What is the difference between Embedded Software Engineer Co Op vs Firmware Engineer?

AspectEmbedded Software Engineer Co OpFirmware Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fieldsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields
Work EnvironmentInternship setting, often in tech or manufacturing companiesFull-time, often in R&D or product development teams
Industry UsageUsed in internships, entry-level roles, and co-op programsUsed in full-time roles across electronics, automotive, and consumer devices

The Embedded Software Engineer Co Op and Firmware Engineer roles share similar educational backgrounds and work environments, focusing on embedded systems. However, the Co Op is typically an internship or temporary position, while the Firmware Engineer is a full-time role with more responsibilities in developing low-level software for hardware devices.

Job description

Powering Decision

Join the team redefining defense technology. From engineering systems that save lives to leading programs that change the battlefield—find your place in the future of defense.

Embedded Software Engineer

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, and optimize embedded software for critical platforms. In this role, you will work on C and Rust code baselines, architecting embedded solutions, and ensuring software quality through robust testing and documentation. This position may require occasional travel (about 5%) for customer meetings and off-site development/testing.

Role Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop embedded software, focusing on C and Rust.
  • Perform trade studies and embedded architecture design for Rust-based solutions.
  • Create and maintain engineering documentation: Requirements Specs (SHRS, IRS), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and Design Descriptions (SHDD).
  • Develop and execute unit, integration, and acceptance test plans.
  • Manage configuration control for software development items.
  • Work within Agile and Waterfall development environments.
  • Provide regular progress updates to stakeholders.
  • Identify and implement process and tool improvements.
  • Stay current with emerging embedded and Rust technologies.
  • Collaborate in a high-performance, mission-driven team environment.
  • Other tasks as assigned.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • Active US Government Secret Security Clearance (US citizenship required).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 2+ years of experience in embedded software development, including C-to-Rust code conversion, low-level embedded software design, and coding in both C and Rust.
  • Hands-on experience with embedded processors, SoC development, and ARM-based systems integration with firmware.

Preferred Skills:

  • 5+ years of embedded software development experience.
  • Proficiency in constrained Rust environments (no-std, heapless), ANSI C, and Python.
  • Experience with openOCD, gdb, and AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU102 Evaluation Kit.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills for low-level embedded issues, including memory management.
  • Familiarity with SEI CMMI processes for small, agile teams.
  • Understanding of NSA High Assurance Certification process and relevant US DoD systems.
  • Analytical problem-solving skills with the ability to visualize outcomes, assess technical risks, and think creatively.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills with a positive, adaptable work ethic.

Due to the nature of the programs we deliver for our customers, candidates may need to obtain the relevant security clearance or handle export-controlled material as defined by the role's requirements.

Every employee is critical to our success, and as such, we offer a range of flexible employee benefits, including:

  • Annual Bonus – Performance Related
  • Competitive Paid Time Off (PTO) package plus 11 company holidays
  • Early finish on Friday
