Job description

Gauge Engineering Services is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to support the development of next-generation airborne mission computer systems used in military helicopter platforms. This role involves designing and developing embedded software for single board computers that integrate with avionics, mission, and weapons systems. The engineer will work on innovative internal research and development initiatives focused on proprietary technologies and emerging capabilities.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience programming in C/C++, developing low-level software, and working within Linux and real-time operating system environments. Success in this role requires exceptional attention to detail and the ability to accurately execute software development tasks from written requirements, build sheets, and technical documentation.

Responsibilities

• Develop embedded software in C and C++ for single board computer platforms supporting airborne mission computer systems.
• Design, develop, and maintain device drivers that interface with electronic hardware and FPGA-based systems.
• Work within Linux-based operating systems and real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as LynxOS, Integrity, or similar environments.
• Participate in Agile development activities including sprint planning, story execution, testing, and delivery.
• Interpret and execute technical requirements, data sheets, build instructions, and engineering documentation with a high degree of accuracy.
• Integrate, troubleshoot, and validate software functionality with hardware subsystems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to support the development of advanced avionics and mission system technologies.
• Support internal research and development projects focused on innovative and proprietary defense-related technologies.
• Contribute to software verification, debugging, and performance optimization activities.
