We are seeking a permanent Embedded Software Engineer to join a collaborative engineering team in Germantown, Maryland. This hands-on role focuses on embedded software development for microcontrollers, microprocessors, and similar hardware platforms, with close interaction with hardware teams and direct lab work. Responsibilities Design, develop, debug, and test embedded software using C and C++. Develop software for microcontrollers, microprocessors, soft processors, and other hardware-based computing platforms. Work directly with engineering boards during initial bring-up, integration, testing, and debugging. Develop software that interfaces between low-level hardware and Linux-based host systems. Participate in hardware/software integration for PCIe-based devices and server platforms. Develop Linux kernel modules, drivers, and user-space Linux software as needed. Troubleshoot problems across embedded software, hardware, operating systems, and system interfaces. Work closely with hardware and FPGA engineers to integrate software with board-level functionality. Support lab testing using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other electronic test equipment. Assist with manufacturing, validation, and system-level testing. Work hands-on with servers, lab equipment, boards, racks, and related hardware when necessary. Use AI-assisted development tools where they provide meaningful engineering leverage while maintaining ownership of code quality and correctness.
