Descrizione del lavoro

CFD Research Corporation seeks a Firmware Engineer with deep embedded software expertise to design, implement, and test firmware in C/C++ for MCU/embedded processors. You will develop FPGA logic (VHDL/Verilog) and collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure robust system integration for aerospace and defense applications.

The role requires experience with RTOS, various digital interfaces, lab equipment, and secure, quality-focused design practices.

Competenze

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Firmware Engineering, or related discipline.
• Strong proficiency in embedded firmware development in C/C++ for microcontrollers and embedded processors.
• Experience with RTOS based development, bare metal systems, interrupt handling, timing critical code, and power managed firmware.
• Understanding of digital interfaces, communication protocols, and embedded system architectures.
• Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Familiarity with software configuration management, version control (Git), and structured engineering workflows.
• Candidate must be a U.S. Citizen and possess the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.

Mansioni

• Design, implement, and test embedded firmware in C/C++, including drivers, HAL layers, communication stacks, control loops, and board bring up.
• Develop FPGA logic (VHDL or Verilog) for digital signal processing, communication interfaces, sensor integration, or high speed control functions.
• Work closely with Embedded Hardware Design Engineers to define system architecture, validate interfaces, and ensure seamless hardware/firmware integration.
• Implement and support communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, RS 485, USB, Ethernet, Modbus, and other low and high speed interfaces.
• Participate in schematic reviews and provide firmware related input to PCB layout for signal routing, timing, EMI/ESD mitigation, and overall system reliability.
• Support system level testing, debugging, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/in circuit debuggers, protocol analyzers, and other lab equipment.
• Develop test firmware, scripts, and automated test frameworks for prototype evaluation and production verification.
• Create technical documentation, software requirements, architecture descriptions, and test procedures consistent with AS9100 quality standards.
• Support compliance and qualification efforts to standards including AS9100, MIL STD 461, MIL STD 810, DO 704, and related specifications.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams
