Senior Embedded Systems Software Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• System Control Architecture & Logic Design and own system-level control architecture spanning actuator control, power sequencing, and operational state management.
• Develop supervisory logic, state machines, and mode management that coordinate lower-level motor control, embedded platform software, and hardware subsystems.
• Define and implement safe power-up, power-down, input processing, fault response, and degraded operating modes consistent with system safety assessments and aerospace certification requirements.
• Embedded Software Development
• Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C++ or MATLAB/Simulink on real-time microcontroller platforms (e.g., TI C2000, NXP, or comparable safety-oriented MCUs).
• Architect scalable and maintainable software frameworks supporting control execution, communication, diagnostics, and monitoring.
• Work across BSPs, middleware, and application layers to ensure deterministic behavior and system robustness.
• System Interfaces & Communication
• Define, implement, and document system interfaces between controllers, subsystems, and external equipment.
• Author and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for communication protocols such as CAN (including safety-oriented profiles), ARINC 825, and other aerospace or automotive buses.
• Ensure reliable data exchange, arbitration, and fault handling across system boundaries.
• Model-Based Design & Validation
• Use MATLAB/Simulink to develop and validate system-level control logic, sequencing, and coordination strategies.
• Support model-based design workflows spanning MIL, SIL, and HIL environments.
• Leverage simulation and lab data to validate system behavior across nominal, corner-case, and fault scenarios.
• Integration, Test & Bring-Up
• Lead system-level integration activities across motor control, BMS, sensors, and vehicle control software.
• Support hardware bring-up, HIL testing, and lab validation, diagnosing issues that span software, hardware, and system interactions.
• Develop test strategies, automation hooks, and data analysis workflows to ensure repeatable verification.
• Safety, Process & Lifecycle Support
• Support development of safety-critical embedded software by following disciplined software development processes.
• Contribute to requirements definition, traceability, verification planning, and certification readiness activities aligned with standards such as DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, or equivalent safety frameworks.
• Maintain configuration control and long-term maintainability of system software artifacts.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience developing embedded control software for complex real-time systems.
• Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time software architecture.
• Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN (and derivatives), SPI, Ethernet, or ARINC (825/664).
• Experience with model-based design tools (MATLAB/Simulink) and SIL/HIL testing.
• Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware, firmware, and system boundaries.
• Strong analytical skills and system-level problem-solving ability.

Preferred / Bonus Experience

• Experience with TI C2000, NXP, or similar real-time control microcontrollers.
• Prior work on safety-critical or regulated systems (aerospace, automotive, industrial).
• Exposure to certification-oriented development processes (DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, ISO 26262 concepts).
• Experience defining software architectures and development processes for growing teams.
• Background spanning motor control, BMS, or vehicle control systems.
• Experience supporting production launch, field issues, and system-level validation.
