The SEI works closely with academia, defense and government organizations, and industry to continually improve software-intensive systems. We deliver innovative technologies and solutions, collaborate on research in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence systems, and transition maturing technologies into practice.

Joining the SEI means becoming part of a world-class organization at the forefront of software engineering innovation. Our work has a profound impact on software systems across both government and industry. You'll collaborate with leading experts and work with cutting-edge technologies to tackle some of the nation's most complex and critical challenges.

Position Summary:

SEI is seeking an enthusiastic experienced real-time embedded engineer to work on safety-critical embedded software. You will work closely with a variety of software and hardware systems including bare-metal embedded systems, RTOSes, FPGAs, and embedded Linux. You will have opportunities to develop tools, techniques, and processes to solve some of the most difficult software problems that our government faces.

Who you are:

• You have a BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related disciplewith eight (8) years of experience; OR MS in the same fields with five (5) years of experience; OR a PhD in the same fields with two (2) years of experience.
• You've worked in a collaborative team environment as a software developer, software engineer, verification engineer, or related field.

• You have proficiency in one or more of the following: C, C++, VHDL, Verilog, Python, C#.

• You've built, analyzed, debugged, and/or tested bare-metal systems and are familiar witha CMSIS/HAL/specific peripheral driver.

• You have experience in one or more of the following: Java, Go, Rust, Ada, MATLAB.

• You have experience with FPGAs and/or heterogenous computing boards that require communication and synchronization between specializedhardware/chips.

• You have exposure with modern RTOSes, e.g. VxWorks or Integrity, and developed and analyzed embedded software.

• You have worked with common embedded interfaces and protocols: I2C, CAN, SPI, RS-232, RS-422, etc.

• You've developed embedded software and performance tests and have experience interpreting the results.

• You have an understanding of the Department of War (DoW) Systems Engineering lifecycle.

• You have strong communication skills and the ability to convey difficult engineering or technical challengestostakeholders.

• You are willing to work 100% of your week onsite at either the SEI or customer facility.

• You can pass a background check and obtain and maintain an active Department of War (DoW) security clearance.

• You have a willingness to travel (25%) outside of your office location to other SEI offices, sponsor sites, conferences, and offsite meetings.

What you'll do:

• Understand complex, inter-dependent systems that hit multiple abstraction levels for embedded systems, interacting across a number of system interfaces.

• Design and develop embedded software tools and capabilities to analyze, test, and evaluate existing software.

• Apply systems engineering knowledge to identify and communicate weaknesses and flawed implementations of embedded functionality tracing from requirements.

• Utilize static analysis, dynamic testing, and complexity analysis tools to uncover software weaknesses, security vulnerabilities, and instances of poor engineering judgment, guiding a high-impact, safety-critical system toward robustness, reliability, and engineering soundness.

• Conduct research, experimentation, and present knowledge-sharing initiatives to enhance software development processes, demonstrate analytical capabilities, and foster a comprehensive understanding of system-of-systems (SoS) integration and performance.
