Remote Embedded System Design information

What is remote embedded system design?

Remote embedded system design involves creating and developing embedded systems—specialized computing hardware and software that perform dedicated functions—while working from a location outside of the traditional office or laboratory. Professionals in this field use remote collaboration tools to design, develop, test, and troubleshoot embedded hardware and firmware for devices like IoT gadgets, medical devices, automotive systems, and industrial controllers. This remote approach allows teams to work together across different geographic locations, leveraging cloud-based development environments and hardware simulation tools to ensure seamless integration and functionality.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote embedded system designer?

To thrive as a Remote Embedded System Designer, you need a solid background in electronics engineering, embedded programming (such as C/C++), and experience with microcontrollers or FPGA architectures, typically backed by a relevant degree. Familiarity with tools like MATLAB, Simulink, Altium Designer, and version control systems, along with certifications like Certified Embedded Systems Engineer, is often required. Strong problem-solving abilities, self-motivation, and effective remote communication skills help professionals excel in distributed teams. These capabilities ensure the efficient development, testing, and deployment of reliable embedded systems in a remote work environment.

What are some common challenges faced by remote embedded system design engineers, and how can they be addressed?

Remote embedded system design engineers often encounter challenges such as limited access to physical hardware for testing, communication barriers with cross-functional teams, and coordinating firmware updates across different environments. These can be addressed by utilizing remote access tools, simulation environments, and efficient project management platforms to facilitate collaboration and testing. Regular virtual meetings and clear documentation also help ensure alignment with hardware teams and smooth integration throughout the project lifecycle.

What is the difference between Remote Embedded System Design vs Remote Firmware Developer?

AspectRemote Embedded System DesignRemote Firmware Developer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields; knowledge of hardware and software integrationBachelor's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related; proficiency in programming languages like C/C++
Work EnvironmentDesigning hardware-software systems, often collaborating with hardware teamsWriting and testing firmware code for embedded devices
Industry UsageElectronics, IoT, automotive, aerospaceConsumer electronics, IoT, medical devices

Remote Embedded System Design focuses on creating integrated hardware and software solutions, while Remote Firmware Developer primarily writes and tests firmware code. Both roles require technical skills but differ in their core responsibilities and work focus.

Job description

As Sr. Embedded Engineer I, Edge Capture, you'll build the camera systems and on-device software that feed our video intelligence products, working alongside an agile team of AI engineers, data engineers, and DevOps engineers supporting federal and defense customers.
We know that you can't have great technology services without amazing people. At MetroStar, we are obsessed with our people and have led a two-decade legacy of building the best and brightest teams. Because we know our future relies on our deep understanding and relentless focus on our people, we live by our mission: A passion for our people. Value for our customers.
If you think you can see yourself delivering our mission and pursuing our goals with us, then check out the job description below!
What you'll do:
  • Own our edge capture devices end to end, from board bring-up and on-device software through the physical form factor that goes into the field
  • Perform bring-up and configuration on embedded Linux platforms, including flashing, kernel and device tree configuration, camera module enablement, and driver troubleshooting
  • Build and maintain on-device capture pipelines that record synchronized video and audio, attach sensor telemetry, and hold up under sustained field use
  • Design capture behavior that degrades gracefully in denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited bandwidth environments, including local buffering and store-and-forward delivery
  • Integrate and synchronize sensors across capture types, including depth and stereo cameras, inertial measurement units, and positioning receivers, and you'll get their timestamps to line up
  • Take development kits and off-the-shelf components and turn them into fieldable units, working through enclosure, mounting, power, and thermal constraints, with rapid prototyping to iterate on the design
  • Produce bills of materials, assembly instructions, and test procedures
  • Present design tradeoffs and test results to a diverse audience in presentation or report form, including senior leadership and customer stakeholders

What you'll need to succeed:
  • Strong experience with embedded Linux on ARM based systems on chip, including NVIDIA Jetson platforms, device tree configuration, and CSI camera enablement
  • At least 5 years of hands-on development in C, C++, and Python on resource constrained devices
  • Demonstrated experience integrating development kits and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components into working devices that have been deployed in real-world or field environments, including packaging, power, and mounting considerations.
  • Experience building edge systems that capture and manage sensor or media data, such as cameras, IMUs, GNSS, environmental sensors, vehicle telemetry, or other physical sensor data.
  • Experience designing systems that operate reliably under unreliable or limited connectivity, including local storage/buffering, retry behavior, store-and-forward workflows, and eventual delivery of media or telemetry to cloud services.
  • Expert experience with video capture and encoding pipelines, including GStreamer, V4L2, hardware accelerated H.264 and H.265 encoding, and RTSP or WebRTC transport
  • Strong experience integrating and synchronizing sensors such as inertial measurement units and GNSS receivers, including calibration and timestamp alignment across streams
  • Experience delivering media and telemetry to cloud services, including object storage, resumable and chunked uploads, and retry behavior under unreliable connectivity
  • Working knowledge of power budgeting, battery systems, and thermal management in compact devices
  • Ability to work with limited direction in an innovation environment where requirements evolve and priorities shift
  • Strong written communication skills, with the ability to document designs and test results for both engineering and customer audiences
  • This role is hybrid, with a requirement to be in our Reston HQ office a minimum of 3 days/week.
  • The ability to obtain a Secret Clearance.

SALARY RANGE: $140,000 - $150,000
The salary range for this position is determined based on qualifications, skills, and relevant experience. The final salary offered will be determined based on several factors including:
  • The candidate's professional background and relevant work experience
