Other information relevant to the job requirement?
Responsibilities involve working closely with a small team to define the software architecture and requirements based on high-level system requirements and the entire design, implementation, and test of the real-time software running in and controlling the hardware.
Role requires hands-on real-world experience with the following:
-Architecting, benchmarking, designing, and programming software for physical control in C or C++ programming language for a hard real-time (time-deterministic, interrupt-driven, task-based, multi-threaded) environment using an RTOS such as real-time Linux, VxWorks, or Xenomai
-Experience developing in Linux environments
-Integration and testing in a laboratory setting of all of the above
-Scripting in Python or Matlab for the purpose of electronic testing and data analysis
Desired skills:
-Firmware programming using VHDL or Verilog
-Digital design and schematic capture using Mentor Graphics tools
-Analog or power circuit design
-Familiarity with laboratoryinstrumentation, including oscilloscopes, function generators, meters, logicanalyzers, and frequency counters
-Experience with revision control systemssuch as git
-Experience developing low level drivers
-Experience with debuggers such as gdb, lldb, etc.
-Knowledge of communication and hardware protocols (e.G. UDP, TCP, UART, SPI, I2C, USB, PCIe, MIPI)
Education:
Bachelor's plus 2-5 years minimum experience, or MS plus 2 years minimum experience.
The successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and be able to work in a team-oriented environment.
Clearance:
This role requires a TOP secret clearance in order to start.
Onsite:
Candidate should expect to work onsite 100%
Interview:
