Job description

Summary
This Software Engineer position will be part of the software engineering team, helping build the next generation of our flagship software product for the digital signage industry. A person at this level will design and develop software products within a specific technical project. S/he can provide solutions for designs and development plans of high complexity which typically requires a broad background of technical and process knowledge. A successful candidate will be a strong team player who is able to work across multiple functions and disciplines. The candidate should be self-directed and have experience and knowledge of software design, coding, and testing methodologies. Though the focus for this position will be on designing and developing embedded systems running on micro-controllers, there will be opportunities to work on user facing web and mobile applications. Our product software is a critical differentiator in our market, and we take great pride in our in-house products developed entirely by this team, from embedded systems to exceptional user facing GUI applications.
Responsibilities:
  • Create and maintain embedded applications for our content playback sub-system.
  • Help create and review system and software requirements.
  • Help foster good software engineering practices and mentor junior engineers.
  • Prepare test cases to perform verification and validation of software.
  • Assist in data gathering and troubleshooting of products under design or returned/reported from the field.
  • Involvement in all aspects of the software engineering process.
  • Follow relevant company procedures and help create and maintain relevant documentation.

Required Education/Qualification:
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 0-3 years of software engineering experience building embedded systems software.
  • Experience working on embedded systems with C++ as the primary programming platform.
  • Experience with embedded operating systems - Linux in ARM and x86, API, and security would be a plus.
  • Understanding of communication protocols (Ethernet and Serial specifically). Understanding the OSI model is a plus.
  • Experience with version control software (preferably Git), Continuous Integration Build systems (preferably Jenkins), project management tools (like Jira) and automated testing tools.
  • Broad experience in Object Oriented Design/Analysis (OOD/OOA). Understanding of design languages such as UML will be a plus.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.

Other ideal skills include:
  • Knowledge of hardware architecture - micro controllers, SOCs etc.
  • FPGA programming.
  • Experience programming in Python (used as a hardware testing tool or hardware simulator/emulator).
  • Experience with image processing and rendering algorithms.
  • Familiarity with Agile product development methodology (Scrum in particular).
  • Use of AI tools for coding, reviewing, and unit testing.
