Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Dice is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer specializing in avionics for a 12+ month contract. The role involves developing high-performance embedded solutions for various application domains and participating in the full software development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Seeking a software engineer for the development of embedded real-time avionics systems
• The engineer will develop high-performance embedded solutions for resource-constrained targets, including next-generation resilient and fault-tolerant software across application domains such as undersea, terrestrial, air, hypersonic systems, and space
• The engineer will be involved in the full software development lifecycle, including requirements definition, design, implementation, testing, and deployment in operational environments

Skills

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent, with 5+ years of experience
• Experience in embedded software development with RISC-V and Ultrascale+ (ARM) processors or other low-power microcontrollers (e.g., PowerPC, TMS320)
• Real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as VxWorks, Integrity, Embedded Linux, Zephyr, or FreeRTOS
• C/C++ and assembly programming languages
• Strong development and troubleshooting skills on embedded targets
• Solid understanding of OS coding techniques, hardware/software interfaces, and subsystem integration
• Experience developing device drivers, board support packages (BSP), and boot code
• Knowledge of embedded system buses and communication protocols such as CAN, I2C, SPI, Serial, SpaceWire, and MIL-STD-1553
• Experience with development toolchains (e.g., GCC, LLVM), as well as static and dynamic analysis tools; QEMU-based development experience preferred
• Familiarity with configuration management tools, defect tracking systems, and peer review processes
• Experience with in-circuit emulators, JTAG debuggers, and laboratory test equipment
• Experience developing formal requirements, design documentation, and test artifacts, and supporting formal design reviews
• Active Secret clearance (or higher) required
• Must be able to work onsite in Cambridge, MA, with occasional travel to Lowell, MA
• Active Secret clearance strongly preferred (or ability to obtain)
• Strong embedded avionics / aerospace / defense background
• Experience with fault-tolerant / mission-critical systems
• Must be comfortable working close to hardware and debugging at system level
