Software Department team in Atlanta, GA is seeking a highly motivated, experienced Principal Embedded Software Engineer to be part of their team supporting Electronic Warfare (EW) programs. What You Will Do: This role requires deep expertise in embedded software, SoC architectures, and FPGA-integrated systems, as well as the ability to translate system-level requirements into robust, deterministic software implementations. * Derive embedded software and FPGA interface requirements from high-level system specifications and CONOPS.
* Architect, implement, and integrate embedded C/C++ software for ARM-based SoCs, microprocessors, and FPGA-coupled processing pipelines.
* Develop software-firmware interaction layers, including register-level interfaces, low-level drivers, memory controllers, and high-speed serial transceiver integrations.
* Perform system modeling, timing analysis, and simulation of embedded execution paths and data flows.
* Develop and debug real-time applications on bare-metal and embedded Linux platforms, including custom Yocto-based distributions.
* Execute board-level bring-up, bootloader configuration, device-tree tuning, and BSP customization for SoC platforms.
* Debug complex system interactions involving DDR, flash, multi-gigabit transceivers, synchronization signals, power-on sequences, and RF-connected electronics.
* Perform in-lab testing and characterization using logic analyzers, high-speed oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and FPGA/SoC debugging tools.
* • Conduct root-cause analysis of system-level software failures, Linux kernel issues, and FPGA-software integration defects.
* Collaborate closely with systems, FPGA, RF, and electrical engineering teams to ensure interface compatibility, timing closure, and system performance margins.
* Work onsite in ATL, GA. Qualifications You Must Have: * Typically requires a Bachelor's in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience.
* Experience with programming languages such as C/C++ and Python for automation, integration, build tooling, and verification workflows.
* Experience building deterministic real-time software on bare-metal and embedded Linux (Yocto), including kernel configuration, bootloader (U-Boot) modification, and driver development OR similar.
* Experience debugging of system boot flows, memory initialization, transceiver bring-up, kernel modules, and user-space interactions.
* The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance. Qualifications We Prefer: * Active Secret security clearance. * Experience developing on ARM-based SoCs with integrated FPGA fabric, including AXI-based interfaces, DMA engines, DDR subsystems, and SPI/I2C/UART peripheral architectures.
* Experience working on Electronic Warfare (EA/ES), radar processing chains, or secure communications architectures.
* Experience with .NET C#, WPF/MVVM, Visual Studio, Vitis, Jenkins, Jira, Collaborator, and TortoiseSVN.
* Extensive lab experience with advanced instrumentation (high-speed oscilloscopes, vector signal generators, logic analyzers) and SoC/FPGA debug interfaces (JTAG, trace analyzers).
* Familiarity with bus architectures such as VME, VPX, PCI/PCIe, and Gigabit Ethernet.
* Experience across the full software engineering lifecycle including architecture definition, requirement decomposition, code generation, unit/functional testing, and system-level validation.
* Background in signal processing, radar algorithms, low-level optimization, or hardware-accelerated compute architectures.
* Experience with RTOS environments, real-time schedulers, and deterministic task execution.
* Knowledge of networking protocols, low-level packet handling, and embedded communication stacks.
