Senior Engineer - Embedded Software Development

Own the firmware architecture 

Define system and component architecture

Produce architectural artifacts: block diagrams, interface specs, state machines, sequence diagrams, and threat models. 

Design & develop platform firmware 

Implement base software, HAL, and lowlevel drivers for MCU/SoC peripherals (I²C/SMBus/PMBus, SPI, UART, GPIO, ADC, PWM, timers). 

Build services for sensors, fans, power, FRU/EEPROM, CPLD/FPGA interfaces, and platform events. 

Deliver featurecomplete diagnostics and fieldserviceable logs. 

Standards & protocols (data center domain) 

Implement and integrate PMBus for PSUs; SMBus/I²C , Modbus.

Work with embedded RTOS stacks for controller firmware. 

Quality, reliability, and security 

Enforce coding standards (MISRA C/C++ where applicable), static analysis, unit/integration tests, and hardwareinloop validation. 

Drive observability (health models, watchdogs, selftests) and resilience (degraded modes, failsafe updates). 

 Lead the design and development of embedded software for DAL-B aerospace systems.
 Apply Model-Based Design (MBD) techniques using tools like MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, simulation, and auto-code generation.
 Dvelop and integrate hand-coded C modules where necessary for performance or certification constraints.
 Develop and integrate device drivers for communication protocols including UART, SPI, ARINC429, and MIL-STD-1553B.
 Work with VxWorks RTOS for real-time embedded system development and task scheduling.
 Ensure full compliance with DO-178B/C objectives across the software development lifecycle.
 Conduct and participate in peer reviews, audits, and verification activities.
 Collaborate with systems, hardware, and quality teams to ensure traceability and certification readiness.
 Prepare and maintain documentation including software plans, requirements, design, test cases, and traceability matrices.
 Utilize debugging tools like Lauterbach for low-level software debugging and validation.
Manage and trace requirements using tools such as DOORS, IBM DNG, or Cradle."

Tooling: Git (branching, code review), CI systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).

Architecture: Demonstrated ability to create architecture/design docs and lead crossfunctional design reviews.

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering (or equivalent practical experience). 

Collaboration & leadership

Lead technical design reviews; mentor engineers; coordinate with hardware, validation, manufacturing test, and DevOps.

Translate product requirements into firmware epics, backlog, estimates, and release plans.

Engage with vendors as needed.

Tooling & process

Own CI/CD for firmware (build, test), version control (GitHub), and issue tracking (Jira).

Maintain highquality documentation (architecture, APIs, design decisions, validation plans, release notes).
