About the role

We are seeking a Lead Embedded Software Engineer - Audio Comms & Streaming Test Framework to join our team at Aerodyne Industries. This position is part of NASA’s pursuit in deep space exploration and involves leading the development of a cFS-based test framework for streaming voice across various spacesuits, landers, and vehicles.

Responsibilities

  • Leads the architecture and delivery of a cFS-based test framework for streaming voice across EVA suits, human landers, and lunar vehicles, leveraging core cFE services for messaging, scheduling, and telemetry.
  • Drives rapid prototyping from proof-of-concept to demo-ready stacks on desktop Linux and target hardware with reproducible scenarios for reviews.
  • Integrates TRICK and similar simulators to inject audio payloads, timing faults, and synchronization events, using Python automation to control scenarios and capture objective performance evidence.
  • Develops embedded C/C++ modules with Python-based ground tools for command, visualization, and CI-friendly testing.
  • Mentors engineers in streaming audio systems and RTOS fundamentals.
  • Maintains configuration, documentation, and requirements traceability.

Requirements

  • This position has been posted at multiple levels. Typically requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in Engineering and normally possesses 5-10 years of related experience.
  • BS/MS in CS/CE/EE (or equivalent) with 5 + years in embedded systems; demonstrable systems design/analysis, and delivery of real-time software in dynamic environments.
  • Expert in Embedded C/C++, Python; comfortable on Linux and Windows; hands-on with SPI, USB, Ethernet, TCP/IP, Linux drivers, and emulator/debug tools.
  • Practical experience with cFS/cFE, SB-centric app design, and reusable cFS apps (Data Storage, File Manager, Scheduler); strong grasp of OSAL/PSP for cross platform portability.

Preferences

  • Proven record building demo frameworks that stakeholders can run locally (scripts, containers, or VM images), plus dashboarding for real time metrics.
  • Background in low-bandwidth voice pipelines (e.g., ADPCM such as G.721) and audio DSP fundamentals for resilience under deterministic scheduling.
  • Experience presenting technical material live and responding to real-time questions; familiarity with formal configuration management and issue tracking.

Benefits

Excellent personal and professional career growth, 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off), onsite cafeteria (breakfast & lunch), and much, much more!
