Embedded Software Engineer
Donatech
Position would require the candidate to be a W2 employee of Donatech.
US Citizenship Required.
Active Secret Clearance Required.
• Design & Development Write, debug, and maintain modern C++ code for secure processing applications. Develop and sustain legacy codebases used across multiple projects. Implement low-level C/C++ for bare-metal and RTOS environments (e.g., FreeRTOS, VxWorks).
• Embedded & Firmware Integration Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate software with microcontrollers, ASICs, and FPGA subsystems (Xilinx, PolarFire). Produce firmware, drivers, and hardware-abstraction layers for mission-critical platforms.
• CI/CD & Build Automation Maintain and enhance CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) to streamline builds, tests, and deployments. Use build systems such as CMake or Make; script automation with Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Quality & Compliance Enforce coding standards (MISRA C/C++, C++ Core Guidelines). Conduct peer reviews, unit-testing (GoogleTest), and maintain comprehensive test suites.
• Documentation & Communication Create clear design documents, interface specifications, and maintenance guides. Participate in Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives). Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge across cross-functional teams.
Required Qualifications
• Experience: 5-6 years of professional C/C++ development, preferably in embedded or real-time contexts.
• Software Verification: 1-2 years of experience developing and executing software verification procedures, including creation of test plans, verification matrices, and compliance reporting.
• Clearance: Active Full-Secret security clearance.
• Technical Skills: Proficient in modern C++ (C++14/17/20) and C. Strong debugging skills with hardware tools (JTAG, SWD, logic analyzers). Version control expertise (Git). Ability to diagnose, analyze, and resolve complex technical issues.
Desired Skills & Experience
• Bare-Metal & Driver Development - Low-level programming for microcontrollers or SoCs without an OS.
• Hardware Driver Development - Writing drivers for ASICs, FPGA interfaces, and peripheral devices.
• Embedded C/C++
• CI/CD Pipelines - Building and maintaining automated pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.
• C# Development - Tooling, test harnesses, or GUI applications.
• FPGA Development - Familiarity with Xilinx/PolarFire families, Vivado/Libero toolchains, Vitis/Softconsole Development Environments.
• Scripting/Automation - Python, Bash, PowerShell for workflow automation.
Education & Certifications
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Optional certifications: C++ Institute certification, Xilinx Certified, security clearance courses.
Additional Information
• Location: Owego, NY (full-time, onsite).
• Security: Work performed in a classified environment; all personnel must adhere to handling procedures.
