Job description

Applied R&D (AR) involves targeted research aimed at solving specific problems or questions, as well as multi-disciplinary design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems, including maintenance support. It provides techno-economic consulting to clients. AR is characterized by detailed and complex work that systematically combines existing knowledge and practices to further develop and incrementally improve products, operational processes, and customer-specific features.

Software (SWA) includes defining, specifying, and allocating requirements from various sources, utilizing systems engineering processes (specification & architecture). It involves processing use case and feature requirements into conceptual models, operational scenarios, technical requirements, and functional descriptions. It covers specification, design, implementation, and unit testing of software (e.g., device drivers, microcode, hardware-related software & firmware) according to defined requirements and architecture. It also encompasses establishing and maintaining Software Configuration Management (SCM) practices within software development projects, and continuously building and integrating infrastructure tools and systems.

Qualifications

• Minimum B.Sc or B.Eng in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• 15+ years of related and recent industry experience
• Experience in C/C++ in an x86 embedded processor environment using collaborative software development tools
• Experience with Linux OS and x86 BIOS/UEFI is a plus
• Ability to read hardware schematics and perform digital circuit analysis
• Excellent verbal and written communication and interpersonal skills; comfortable explaining problems to both hardware and software teams

Responsibilities

• Design and develop board support and device driver software in collaboration with software, hardware, FPGA, and factory test teams
• Test hardware during development and resolve all issues prior to product release
• Follow group development processes and procedures to ensure code adheres to guidelines
• Work cooperatively with Operations to implement production test programs and procedures
• Support customer management teams in resolving field issues
