Senior Embedded Software Engineer — R-EGI Program
Dayton, OH
Position Overview
IS4S is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer todevelop, integrate, and test software for the R-EGI program. R-EGI bringstogether GPS/GNSS, inertial sensors, and other navigation capabilities tosupport resilient positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) for militaryaircraft.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer who is comfortabledeveloping C/C++ software on embedded Linux systems, bringing up software on hardware,and solving problems at the boundary between software, sensors, and avionics.The engineer will work closely with systems, navigation, hardware, and testteams through integration and qualification.
Key Responsibilities
- Design,develop, test, and maintain embedded C/C++ software for navigationprocessing, device interfaces, middleware, and system control.
- Developand debug software on embedded Linux platforms, including interactionswith device drivers, operating system services, and hardware interfaces.
- IntegrateGPS/GNSS receivers, IMUs, and other navigation inputs; work withnavigation engineers to implement and evaluate sensor-fusion andestimation functions.
- Diagnosesystem-level issues involving software timing, sensor data, electricalinterfaces, and hardware behavior.
- Supporthardware bring-up and software integration in laboratory and systemintegration lab environments.
- Developautomated tests, diagnostic tools, and scripts that improve softwareintegration, regression testing, and troubleshooting.
- Supportsimulation, software-in-the-loop, and hardware-in-the-loop testing,including evaluation of performance when GPS is degraded or unavailable.
- Translatesystem and interface requirements into software designs, test procedures,and verification evidence.
- Participatein code reviews, configuration management, defect resolution, and softwarereleases.
- Supporttechnical reviews and program milestones, including PDR, CDR, TRR, andqualification activities.
- Mentorless experienced engineers and help the team resolve complex embeddedsoftware issues.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor'sdegree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering,or a closely related technical field.
