Embedded Software Engineer - Firmware

Description

Reusable launch systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. Rockets can only be built on rock solid foundations, and for Vehicle Software, that foundation is our firmware. A predominant number of components on our launch vehicle are controlled by our in-house firmware, playing an essential role in the hardware software interface. As a Firmware Engineer, you will develop, test, and deploy code that can reliably support mission operations.

Responsibilities

• Own firmware for multiple avionics boards
• Collaborate with other embedded software engineers to develop a scalable stack and maintain a coherent interface with adjacent systems
• Work with electrical engineers to bring up boards, write firmware that meets mission requirements, and test boards to these requirements
• Debug failures or issues that live at the intersection of hardware and software
• Support teams that are using the firmware you've written by providing technical knowledge and documentation
• Contribute to the vehicle's electrical and software architecture

Qualifications

• BSE in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related degree
• 2+ years of experience developing, testing, and deploying embedded systems (project teams, personal projects, and research can count for this)
• Experience in Rust
• Experience using electrical lab equipment, such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers
• Strong systems thinking and debugging skills
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Rigorous attention to detail

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with reading and writing electrical schematics, preferably in Altium
• Familiarity with networking concepts such as UDP, MAC layer, subnets
• Demonstrated ability to write embedded rust, such as embassy
• Experience with RTOS and real time systems
• Familiarity with data acquisition systems (DAQ)
