Embedded Software Engineer

Fidelis Companies

Staff/Senior Embedded Software Engineer (IC Validation & Systems)

Aerospace semiconductor company developing high‑reliability integrated circuits used in mission‑critical electronic systems. This role sits at the intersection of embedded software, hardware interaction, and product validation, with strong exposure across firmware, APIs, and system‑level applications.

This is not a pure software role — it’s ideal for someone who enjoys working close to the hardware and understands how software interacts with real devices.

Requires 5-10 years of experience

What You’ll Do

  • Develop and maintain embedded software and validation frameworks for IC products
  • Own API validation and regression testing, ensuring new features and updates do not break existing functionality
  • Build and reuse Python‑based test frameworks (not one‑off scripts) for scalable validation
  • Work across embedded C and Python, interfacing with microcontrollers (Cortex‑based, 16‑bit systems)
  • Support software across multiple platforms: Bare‑metal, Linux, and Windows environments
  • Develop and maintain demo and evaluation software/firmware used internally and by customers
  • Debug and validate hardware/software interactions during bring‑up and testing
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to support product development and resolve issues
  • Provide occasional customer support and troubleshooting for software integrations

Additional Exposure (Nice to Have / Growth Areas)

  • FPGA interaction and prototyping (Xilinx‑based systems)
  • PCIe interfacing through FPGA platforms
  • GUI/application‑level development for product demonstrations
  • Working with industry protocols and legacy systems
