Embedded Software Engineer / Architect - Linux

Embedded Software (Linux) Engineer/Architect As an Embedded Software Engineer/Architect, you will design, develop, and optimize embedded software systems for SSPAs and BUCs that operate in ground-based, airborne, and space-based applications. You will be responsible for driving technical innovation in embedded software, implementing advanced control algorithms, and ensuring the delivery of cutting‑edge software solutions that meet mission‑critical requirements. You’ll collaborate closely with customers, program managers, RF engineers, mechanical engineers, and cross‑functional teams to translate system requirements into scalable, high‑performance embedded software. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex technical challenges while mentoring and inspiring engineering teams. What You’ll Do Drive technical innovation in real‑time embedded software, control algorithms, and system monitoring solutions for high‑power RF applications. Develop software architectures and technical specifications for ground‑based, airborne, and space‑qualified embedded systems. Apply expert‑level knowledge of embedded software design principles, real‑time operating systems, and device driver development. Design and optimize software for thermal management, power control, and fault detection in high‑power RF amplifiers and systems. Implement embedded software for power electronics control, including switching power supplies and DC‑DC converters. Ensure software designs meet EMI/EMC compliance, performance, reliability, and environmental requirements, including DO‑178 and MIL‑STD compliance. Conduct software architecture reviews, risk assessments, and technical trade studies to ensure optimal embedded solutions. Support prototype development, testing, and qualification activities for space and airborne systems. Own embedded software development through the full lifecycle from concept to production. Collaborate with customers and cross‑functional teams to define embedded software requirements and system specifications. Provide technical expertise for proposal development and customer presentations. Ensure all embedded software designs comply with applicable industry standards, regulations, and customer requirements. Support quality assurance activities, including software verification and validation testing. Maintain software documentation standards and engineering change control processes. Foster a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence within the engineering organization.
