Senior Computer Engineer

Job description:

We are looking for a highly motivated senior-level computer engineer to join our Sensing and Communications Department.
Successful candidates will have a BS, MS, or PhD degree in electrical and/or computer engineering with a focus in embedded systems development.
Professional experience beyond 7 years is desired but may not be required in all circumstances.

Successful applicants will support the design and development of a wide variety of underwater maritime systems including payloads for unmanned underwater vehicles, underwater sensing, tracking, and communication arrays, acoustic communication transceivers, wireless power transfer, high power acoustic transmit arrays, and electromechanical actuators.

Candidates must have a proven track record of designing and implementing state machines and algorithms on prototype R&D embedded systems.
Applicants should be familiar with workflows and development on FPGAs, System-on-Chips/System-on-Modules, Digital Signal Processors, as well as Microcontrollers, and should be experienced at writing VHDL as well as C/C++ programming and compilation in a Linux environment.
Additionally, experience with userspace driver development, ADCs & DAC interfacing, digital communications bus protocols (RS232/RS422/RS485, I2C, I2S, SPI, McBSP, CAN), high speed signaling (LVDS, LVPECL), and SoC cross-domain interconnect (e.g., AXI), is required.
Previous experience with hands-on integration and testing of embedded systems into larger platforms is highly desired, including familiarity with and use of typical electronic laboratory test equipment.
