What does an embedded systems software engineer do?

An Embedded Systems Software Engineer designs, develops, and maintains software that runs on embedded systems—specialized computing devices integrated within larger systems. Common examples include software for automotive control units, medical devices, industrial machines, and consumer electronics. These engineers work with hardware teams to ensure the software interacts correctly with physical components. Their responsibilities often include writing code in languages like C or C++, debugging hardware-software integration issues, and optimizing software for limited resources such as memory and processing power.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an embedded systems software engineer?

To thrive as an Embedded Systems Software Engineer, you need a strong background in computer science or electrical engineering, with expertise in programming languages such as C/C++ and familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS). Proficiency in using development tools like debuggers, oscilloscopes, and integrated development environments (IDEs), as well as knowledge of protocols like SPI, I2C, and UART, is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication abilities help individuals excel in this role. These skills ensure the development of reliable, efficient, and high-performing embedded systems that meet rigorous technical and safety standards.

What are some common challenges faced by embedded systems software engineers when working on cross-functional teams?

Embedded Systems Software Engineers often collaborate closely with hardware engineers, product managers, and quality assurance teams. One key challenge is ensuring seamless integration between hardware and software, as hardware limitations or last-minute changes can require rapid software adjustments. Communication and documentation are essential to align expectations and prevent misunderstandings. Additionally, working within strict memory, processing, and power constraints requires creative problem-solving and strong attention to detail.

Job description

Radiance Technologies, a rapidly growing employee-owned company, is searching for talented scientists and engineers with interest in microelectronics security and systems security development to join our Advanced Technology Development Operation (ATDO). Modern embedded systems face physical security threats across the entire system lifecycle. Addressing these challenges requires individuals capable of out-of-the-box thinking, with an innovative mindset and the ability to work as part of multi-disciplinary engineering teams. ATDO is involved in the development and analysis of anti-tamper / protective technology capabilities and products, advancing the state-of-the-art in areas ranging from secure microelectronics packaging to system-level security for weapons systems.

ATDO is looking for an Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer with the breadth and versatility to work at all design and development stages, from ideation to formal production acceptance testing for electronics subsystems utilizing embedded commercial processors, ASICs, SoCs, GPUs and FGPAs. The candidate must have experience turning up initial custom hardware prototype designs, and maturing said prototypes into deployable solutions. Must work well as part of small, fast-paced and mission-driven team(s).

Experience with system security architectures and cryptography is desirable but not required.

Requirements:

  • B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or relevant technical field with 10+ years direct experience developing embedded systems (Advanced STEM degrees will substitute for experience on a year-for-year basis)

  • Active Secret security clearance or the ability to obtain a DoD security clearance

  • Understanding of schematics, ability to perform lab tests on designs and components, experience with custom electronics turn-up, and troubleshooting and improving new and existing embedded designs

  • Embedded Debugging / Emulation

  • Real-time OS experience

  • Embedded Linux and Linux hardware driver creation

  • Expert level C programmer

  • FPGA interface and integration

Desirable Qualifications / Skills (some or all would be viewed positively):

  • Advanced degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or relevant technical field with 15+ years of relevant work experience

  • Active Top Secret clearance

  • Demonstrated expertise as technical lead / architect for embedded projects - conceptualizing solutions to open-ended problems, deriving implementable requirements, and conveying design intent to a broader team.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset - propose new ideas, processes, tools and solutions

  • Excel at verbal and written communication with customers and team members by providing reports, technical documentation, and guidance as well as participation in the systems engineering process including architecture selection

  • Microcode

  • Secure Boot

  • Bare metal development

  • Cryptographic algorithm implementation

  • Development of cryptographic primitives beyond encryption

  • Advanced knowledge of Roots of Security / Secure Processors. Hardware Security experience - tamper vulnerability research including hardware exploitation, side-channel attacks, fault-injection attacks, and nation-state level reverse engineering threat vectors

  • Assisting ATDO in capturing additional business through customer interactions, proposal development, and authoring enhanced white papers

  • Authoring of software development plans

  • Proficiency and willingness to mentor junior technical personnel

Security Clearance:

Applicants selected may be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Radiance Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
