Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin (onsite/hybrid day 1) Hire off video interview Pay $70/hr 5+ years exp 1.) C++ with embedded systems....too many people say they have C++ but haven't done it for embedded product or have actually been working more in C or Matlab and not actually C++. The interviewers will ask technical questions about C++ and object oriented programming and understanding of embedded systems 2.) RTOS experience and multithreading...understanding concepts of operating systems and synchronization...ability to talk about what RTOS they have experience in, and demonstrating understanding of RTOS 3.) Someone who has worked in a Test Driven Development environment.... "How do you test? Do you do unit testing? Do you have Google Test experience or what do you use? " This is NOT QA testing. This is demonstrating experience in a fast-paced development environment where you have to do your own unit testing before handing it over to QA 4.) Have you ever written code where you had to do something to ensure your code was secure? This code is going into embedded controls that are out in the field and developing secure code is an initiative and expectation.....are you familiar with secure coding guidelines? When have you written secure code? How did you determine if it was secure? JD: What you'll do: The Lead Embedded Software Engineer will develop embedded software/firmware for high performance, real-time controls and protective relays used for smart grid applications in the electrical power distribution industry. In this role, you will collaborate with a multi-discipline engineering team (software, hardware, and test) to perform the following functions: In this function you will: . Define requirements between hardware and software subsystems. . Design and implement features for power system intelligent electronic devices, including power system protection algorithms, system diagnostics/prognostics, communication protocols, cybersecurity, and other relay, control and monitoring functions using C/C++. .
