Note, this is a hybrid position whereby the employee will work both from home and from the aforementioned worksite. Hence, the employee must live within a reasonable commuting distance from the worksite. Design and implement scalable software architectures in Embedded C for bare-metal systems and RTOS-based environments. Manage memory constraints (stack/heap analysis) and optimize code for execution speed and power efficiency-critical for resource-constrained microcontrollers. Enforce industry standards such as MISRA C or CERT C through rigorous static analysis and manual code reviews. Debug complex firmware issues using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and JTAG/SWD debuggers to ensure seamless interaction between the software and the PCB. System requirements analysis and convert them to software level requirements. Work within MATLAB/Simulink to develop control algorithms and oversee the integration of auto-generated C code into the manually written codebase. Author detailed System Requirements and Software Design Documents (SDD). You will be responsible for ensuring that every line of C code maps back to a specific functional requirement. Verification & Testing: Lead Integration Testing efforts. Develop unit tests and integration test suites to validate software modules in a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environment. Workflow Management: Act as a power user of GitHub for version control (branching strategies, CI/CD integration) and Jira for tracking development sprints, bug reports, and task allocation. Domestic Travel Required up to 10%.
