Job description

Senior Software Engineer, C, Embedded, RTOS, Growing Firm – Dallas, TX

Our client needs to hire a passionate Senior Software Engineer to work on new product development and sustaining current products. You will work on full life cycle product development, diagnose field issues on custom hardware, and maintain certification-ready software deployment. This is real-time software embedded development using C and QNX.

Why should you apply here?

  • Local Dallas firm, 30+ years in business.
  • 250+ total employees, 100+ at this location.
  • 100% in-house engineering and manufacturing.
  • High-end clients; future orders in the pipeline.
  • Stable, inflation-resistant niche.
  • Profitable; committed to innovation.
  • Stable executive and engineering team.
  • Flat organizational structure.

What will you be doing? 

  • Own the software lifecycle of fielded embedded products, driving reliability, maintainability, and continued compliance across microprocessor and DSP-based systems. 
  • Diagnose and resolve field-reported defects across custom SoC platforms (ARM), peripherals (I2C/SPI/UART, GPIO, USB, Ethernet), and networking stacks (TCP/UDP, multicast). 
  • Perform root cause analysis on production issues; develop and validate corrective actions through the full verification cycle. 
  • Lead HW/SW troubleshooting on fielded units using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and trace tools.
  • Lead sustaining engineering efforts on assigned product lines; mentor junior engineers, prioritize defect backlogs, and coordinate with product management on release planning. 
  • Manage component obsolescence and end-of-life transitions; evaluate, qualify, and integrate alternate parts with minimal design disruption. 
  • Maintain certification-aligned software processes (requirements, design, code reviews, regression tests, verification evidence) for updates to fielded products. 
  • Collaborate across FPGA, hardware, manufacturing, quality, and field support teams to resolve cross-functional issues and drive continuous improvement. 

What are the minimum qualifications?

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE).
  • 8+ years of experience in embedded software engineering.
  • C programming language at a senior level.
  • RTOS experience with any of QNX, VxWorks, INTEGRITY, FreeRTOS, ThreadX, Zephyr, etc.
  • Hands-on experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers to debug firmware.
  • Experience with sustaining engineering on a shipped product.
  • Experience with full-product life cycle.

What will make your résumé stand out?

  • Experienced with networking, specifically knowing how to use it, not necessarily building it from scratch.
  • Bare metal software.
  • Experienced with device drivers and low-level software.

Location: Dallas, TX, 100% onsite

Salary: 134k – 165k + Bonus & 401k (4% match)

Relocation: Will assist

Citizenship: U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents
