Principal Embedded Software Engineer

Principal Embedded Software EngineerRTX BBN Technologies is seeking a Principal Embedded Software Engineer with experience in real-time embedded C language system development to join our Physical Sciences & Systems business unit located in Middletown, Rhode Island. Responsibilities will include but are not limited to: Linux, VxWorks or similar real-time embedded OS software development on a wide range of embedded multi-threaded platforms; integrating with custom hardware; implementation of high-performance embedded solutions; middleware; and implementing control, detection, and tracking algorithms developed by the systems engineering team.The ideal candidate enjoys working in a multi-disciplinary role and is comfortable adapting to and identifying new technologies as needed. This candidate would have experience in implementing and maintaining high-performance software, as well as a solid understanding of computer architectures, networking, device drivers, and analog and digital interfaces. A strong background in signal processing and control-system algorithm implementation and optimization is also desirable, but not required at start.What You Will Do:Design, develop, implement, test, debug and integrate high-performance embedded real-time software within heterogenous systems composed of multiple processor types and FPGAs, with external sensor and control interfaces for deployed DoD real-time software systems hosted on embedded hardware.Collaborate with a cross-functional team testing your contributions and analyzing performance.Integrate components you develop into a larger system in preparation for real world testing and deployment.Teaching, coaching, and mentoring less-experienced staff.Contributing to proposals as well as preliminary and critical design reviews.Minimal to no travel required.What You Will Learn:Involvement in the technical design and component selection process for solving complex real-time control-system problems.Work with world-class researchers and engineers who embrace innovation and challenge the status quo.Experience in a highly-visible software development team, exposure to the Navy acquisition process, and opportunity to learn new technologies and gain new embedded development expertise.Qualifications You Must Have:Typically requires a Bachelor's Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior experience, or an Advanced Degree in STEM and a minimum of 5 years of prior experience.The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.Experience that includes at least two of the following areas: Embedded C/C++ Software; High-Performance Computer Systems; Embedded Real-Time Sensors and Control Applications; and/or Advanced Software Architecture Design and Implementation.Experience using embedded Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) (e.g., Linux, Green Hills, Integrity, Wind River VxWorks, etc.).Experience developing complex systems involving the integration of hardware, firmware, and software.Qualifications We Prefer:Proficiency using C/C++.Familiarity with digital signal processing algorithms and software.Knowledge of linear algebra concepts.Experience using the VSIPL high-performance vector library or another vector processing library.Experience implementing and optimizing algorithms from high level specifications.Experience with real-time performance optimization.Special consideration will be given to a candidate who either possesses an active Secret-level (or higher) security clearance, or who has previously held such a clearance.Work Location: Onsite - Middletown, RI. Relocation package is available for qualified candidates
