V2X is seeking a talented Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer (T03) to join our Embedded Solutions team within the Engineering Solutions organization. Embedded Solutions is a cross-disciplinary core function dedicated to the design, development, and integration of secure, high-performance embedded systems that enable mission-critical defense and aerospace applications.

In this role, you will play a key part in the full lifecycle development of advanced embedded solutions based on modern microcontrollers and real-time operating systems. You will work collaboratively with experienced engineers in a multidisciplinary, matrixed environment emphasizing technical rigor, collaboration, and continuous learning. This position is ideal for motivated early-career engineers seeking to expand their impact across microcontroller-based design, real-time software, and hardware-software integration.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and validate embedded firmware/software solutions using C (and Python), targeting ARM Cortex or similar microcontroller-based architectures.

• Develop and integrate peripheral interfaces and device drivers for serial, Ethernet, SPI, I²C, motor control, and other real-time I/O.

• Support hardware bring-up, board-level verification, and troubleshooting, using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related lab tools in collaboration with electrical and systems engineers.

• Integrate and optimize real-time applications using RTOS or bare-metal techniques, ensuring responsiveness and reliability in constrained environments.

• Contribute to system-level validation and test automation to ensure robust, reliable performance and compliance with requirements.

• Prepare and maintain clear technical documentation including design records, integration notes, code comments, and user instructions in accordance with V2X processes.

• Participate in Agile development teams—collaborate via MS Teams, Azure DevOps, and shared digital environments to deliver disciplined, high-quality engineering outcomes.

• Engage in peer code and design reviews, share lessons learned, and support continuous improvement in product quality, safety, and engineering practice. Maintain a strong focus on disciplined execution, safety, quality, and compliance with industry standards and secure  development practices

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field.

Approximately 5–8 years professional experience developing embedded firmware or software for microcontroller- or ARM Cortex-based systems (hands-on academic, internship, or professional work considered).

Proficient in C (and/or C++) for real-time embedded system development; familiarity with version control and configuration management tools (e.g., Git, Azure DevOps).

Experience with lab-based troubleshooting, board bring-up, and using oscilloscopes/logic analyzers for hardware/software integration.

Ability to develop and validate peripheral/device drivers and work at the interface of hardware and software.

Effective communication skills, strong team orientation, and commitment to continuous technical growth.

U.S. citizenship required.

Security Clearance and Other Requirements

Ability to access systems with information restricted to U.S. citizens as required by federal contract guidelines.

Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) security clearance may be required for certain projects.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, or experience in bare-metal scheduling for embedded applications.

Exposure to scripting for test automation or tooling—Python preferred.

Knowledge of secure coding standards and industry regulations (MISRA C, DO-178C, ISO 26262, etc.).

Experience collaborating in Agile or SCRUM-based development teams.

Practical awareness of networked communications in embedded systems (Ethernet, TCP/IP, etc.).
